stranged about warpmart

so I wrote this email to warpmart:

hi I am Ignacio Matallana and I have already bought 3
venetian snares
cds at warpmart

but I would like to find these too:
songs about my cats
237 0894
is it possible to order them?

and I got this reply from warpmart:

Hello,

I'm afraid these items are out of stock and i don't think
they are
available anymore, sorry
__________________________________

well I see those albums in other stores, are they out of
print or what? I thought they could order them if a customer
asked for it.
if they are out of print I understand, but as I see these
albums in other online shops I was stranged about the
answer.

for those who will ask : "why dont you buy it on other place
then?"

well I wanted to do a big order at warpmart so that I safed
more money
and most of the online shops where they have those release
are from the us (more shipping costs and more time to
deliver)

well i think they (warp) sold some copies to other stores,
and kept some for their own shop

its too much hassle to buy back copies when they ran out of
them

Various shops may have already ordered them and have their
own small stock on their shelves. So they'll have copies
when other places might have sold out. If you were to buy up
all the copies in a shop they won't be able to get any more
either.
Warpmart clearly have sold out.

i placed an order at warpmart a week ago and still haven't
received shipping notice??? it's either they ran out of
something or forgot about me. i think im going to mail them
tomorrow and ask what the hell is wrong this time.

maybe they also list the albums as available, but they
aren't really available and if you order them you'll get a
"sorry, this item is out of stock blah blah blah blah" mail
afterwards... ' _ '

Most peculiar my finely clothed friend.

WarpMart does seem to be acting a bit strange lately.

A whole bunch of distributors will get a few copies of the
album each to stock, depending on how much demand they get
for an artist will decide the amount sent to them. MU is in
control of this however not Warp, Warp may tell MU that they
have had a lot of demand for an album to be re-released tho.
Once all the products in each store have been sold I'm sure
mike will ponder a repress if he thinks they will sell. If
he goes ahead with that then I'm sure Warp will be first to
get them in as I presume this is where a lot of the sales
will be made. A product may be listed on a site even if only
two are in stock, if three order at the same time or before
the item has had time to be removed from the store one guy
will get an e-mail saying sorry... Warp may sell out first
and other shops may hold stock for ages so if 500 copies are
floating around in other places you are gonna be waiting a
while for a re-stock at Warp.

I haven't contacted them yet. I'll give it another week, I
think, before emailing them.

I can see why you are very stranged about this.

you can or you cant?

tolstoyed:
thats a normal answer: we dont have it but we will get
more.

but in my case is like: we dont have it, go other place and
dont bother us.

maybe is because this was my first purchase there and you
buy a lot there

hmm, for now they're my favourote online record shop...i
only had same trouble once, but that time it was some
japanese compilation (must have a very small release and
they probably didn't pay much attention as no one was ever
asking for it haha).
anyway, they were very polite with respond, and im in no
hurry (it's just that they could send a notice about what's
going on, before i mailed them).

it's a bit weird why they replied you like that, they could
send you a nicer reply :)

look, here's the one i got:

Hello Goran,

Big loada is currently out of stock. We should be getting
some more
copies soon and will process your order as soon as they get
here.
Sorry about the delay.

Well, I imagine that the album is out of print now, and
warpmart have sold all of their copies, so they cannot order
any more. Other shops still have copies left in stock, but
they be the last.

btw, did you hear "songs about my cats" already?
i haven't and i don't have it either, so i was wondering
what is it like - what other funk's release is it most
alike?

if it's really out of print, i must be quick :)

in that case I need a shop that sells:

higgins ultra...
songs about my cats
printf
237 0894
