...plumbs new depths.
14:37 - Boomkat new releases mail appears in my mailbox. I read down the list and add a few releases to my crate.
14:46 - By the time I come to check out it's showing out of stock for 2 of the releases (new Bug and Junior Boys), which were in stock moments earlier.
I know they're "super ultra rare guaranteed to sell out in 5 minutes, when they're gone they're gone" &etc. &etc. but how many copies exactly do you think they get? About 5 per release?

Well obviously you need to purchase each item one at a time to speed up the process. then you pay postage on ecah one.

They do that anyway when they spilt my order into about 20 different packages for no discernable reason, before charging me a recorded delivery surcharge for each one.
Did you get my email re: a particular release? That's still in stock.

I check boomkat every evening Monday to Friday. They often update stock through the week and if you just rely on the friday mailout, chances are that some of them will be out of stock.
By the way, those Junior Boys remixes aren't that great in my opinion.

I'm shocked a boomkat thread doesn't contain the word "essential", so here it is.......

Just got an email to say that SAWI LP is back back back back in stock, but haven't YET got an email saying about them planning to ship it to me after discovering it was out of stock last time, so this will be pretty interesting...

They just done this again (split my order up, in spite of all the records concerned being "in stock" at the time of ordering). Perhaps if they didn't wait 4 days before processing my order the items concerned might be in stock? Who knows, they could even use one of those new fangled stock systems that I hear computers can run, that actually assign given stock in the warehouse to a particular order, so people know that the stuff in their basket when they hit "confirm" is actually available?

i think their write ups suck too all we need to know is rough genre or what else the artist did if anything or the key or the tempo, can some it up in one sentance usually
and i have ordered stock that was supposedly available and it never came
but don't knock em they have a top shop going there it is much harder to run such things than to consume them give em a break but yeah sure, they should give us a break with the waffle
