This is utter tripe. I'm in Canada, and tried ordered some cd's a few days back. Here' the response: "Unfortunately, we cannot ship you the CD's you ordered, because our supplier has just informed us that they will not ship outside of the United States. This means we have had to cancel your order. We regret any inconvenience this may cause, and we look forward to serving you again." _______________________________ Pietro Da Sacco, mbm@netcore.ca Grooves Magazine ... http://www.rain.org/~audio/grooves/ Insound (Grooves) ... http://www.insound.com/zinestand/grooves/ The Circular Cosmic Spot ... http://www.sdriver.com/spot

Read: "Due to the fact that we were fucking morons and didn't really expect to get 80 quintillion orders for our underpriced CDs - many of which we probably won't be able to supply anyway since we just took some distributor's catalogs and slapped them up on our website without checking if everything was really available - we have to find some way of weaseling out of a lot of the orders that have been placed. We've started by suddenly adding a limit of 5 discs per order, and are now going to reneg on all of the orders placed by out of country customers even though our website said nothing about any limits of these sorts previously. Sorry, dude, you're S.O.L., and there's nothing you can do about it! Ha ha ha!" What a bunch of cunts. Greg

Totally. Like, if you're in Canada, shouldn't they have written "...we look forward to serving you *when you move to the United States*" or "...we look forward to serving you *at some point because we haven't served you yet*"? As more businesses take advantage of the net, the shady operators make everyone look bad. Andrew
