Yes, the recent Herman which I pre-ordered along with the Savoy set which was still in print at that time (though running low I believe). They held the Savoy set and sent it along with the Herman. Smooth as can be. No problems. No customs charges. Excellent.

It's strange in a way, because the two snafus I've had with Mosaic service (both corrected at Mosaic's expense) happened back in the day when it was a humming operation. But there's been no problem with my recent orders at all. Arrived in a timely way, and quite frankly the sets are now much better protected by bubble wrap. So I agree with Clunky - no apology necessary, at least to me.

Another dandy from the Tubby box set. Such a great set, one gem after another.

From the Tubby box set. A heavyweight box in every respect.

Tremendous recording. One of my favorite recordings in recent years.

Just listened to that one from the Tubby box. Great stuff. I really enjoyed it. Now:

I have a number of Jimmy Heath's recordings I enjoy, esp. Picture of Heath on Xanadu, and couple of later big band dates. I was never quite as taken by the Heath Bros. recordings. Right now about 90% of my music collection is packed away in boxes for a move later in the year, so all the Heath recordings are inaccessible to me at the moment. But there's always Spotify and I-tunes.

One of my favorite Kessel recordings. .
