Boomkat

I order this:

Envane
Cichlisuite
Rephlexions
Plaid Peel Session

I really only ordered from there to get the two autechre cds
(which aren't available from warpmart, well at least
cichlisuite. envane was made available soon after i made my
boomkat order) and i got rephlexions and the plaid peel
session just because it would be easier to get it now
instead of ordering it later.

Well, i just got the shipping confirmation and envane and
cichlisuite weren't included. Why in the world would they
have them on their site if they don't have them? This really
is rather stupid and I'm really holding back to become a
jackass consumer to complain to them. I'm venting it out
here. This really put a damper on my day.

lesson :)

mm.

I had some trouble with my creditcard with them - nothing
serious, but they're a bitch to get in contact with. it took
3 tries to just get to speak to someone.

that said - they did solve everything for me and gave me a
record for free. :)

So they didn't get the stuff into you later that they didn't
have in stock at the time?

im still awaiting some records i ordered like a year ago...i
bought those already, i have no idea wether they're going to
send me those or not :)
another time i ordered like 10 records and apperantly they
had none on stock so they simply cancelled my order - it
said something like : we're sorry for the inconvenience, but
we dont have "specified" in stock so we cancelled your
order, you wont be charged...

since then im only ordering very recent releases, and im
really satisfied with the service :)

a lot of distributors keep stuff in the database that they
don't have anymore... it's kinda lame... (although, on
occasion, it can be useful for reference)

try and email them first...perhaps you get lucky and they'll
actually reply

I ordered CDs by Ellen Allien, Einoma, Cylobotnia and Pole
last week. Got the last 3, but then got an email saying the
Ellen Allien wasn't in stock and the order had been
cancelled, which sucks.

There really is no excuse for listing items on the website
that aren't in stock. If they must do so, they could at
least say something like 'OUT OF STOCK' in the listing.

if you live in north america, buy from forcedexposure.com
instead. same great selection, but cheaper prices than the
uk.

boomkat and warpmart are great, but more pricey...

well they took envane out of the list finally, but now
they're showing releases like incunabula and amber for 15
bucks! I saw these used on other sites for like 150 bucks,
wtf?!

$150..?

roughtrade are similar on this, they just list everything
they may have had and just send out loads of "we're sorry/no
longer available" emails and leave it at that

it would be better if this mailorder peeps took the time to
update their pages now and then, i don't think it'd be too
hard..

I'm sure it doesn't.

those listings feel like they are frozen in time - nothing
ever changes.

always the same stuff for the same stupid prices.
