wesbed Posted February 7, 2005 Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 (edited) I've ordered many CDs from CDUniverse. I believe CDUniverse offers a good site and a good service. I've never pre-ordered from CDUniverse. I usually get the latest RVGs from Border's so I can get my hands on them on 'the' day of release. However, there are always a couple of the RVGs that Border's won't have available till a couple of weeks after the release date. This, in my opinion, is because somebody else already purchased the one RVG title Border's ordered or the local Border's store received the RVG title late. I'm going to pre-order the 2/15/05 RVGs from CDUniverse. It will be good to get ALL the latest RVGs from the same source and at the discounted price. My question: when I pre-order from CDUniverse, can I expect the RVGs to be shipped on 2/15/05? Or, does CDUniverse ship the CDs before the 2/15/05 date so I can expect to receive the RVGs on 2/15/05?

scottb Posted February 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 I think the last time I preordered I got them a day after the release date which means they probably shipped them a day prior to the date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Posted February 7, 2005 Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 It varies on when they ship. I've had them ship a lot on the release date but when I preordered the Bird Dial Savoy a few years ago, I received it the day it came out, which is the way I think it should be.

garthsj Posted February 7, 2005 Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 I have dealt with CDUniverse extensively over the years. Their preorder service is very reliable, BUT I have had new releases arrive before, on, and after the actual release date. You have to take into account the delivery from the manufacturers, and the vagaries of the U.S. Postal Service .... My suggestion ... calm yourself for a day or so Brad ... they will arrive. Seriously, I have not purchased a CD from Borders or B&N or any other retail outlet in Houston for about four years now. Ordering online assures me that I will get what I want without having to go through the "special order" at full price routine ... I went through the latest Jazzmatazz this morning .. and now CDUniverse have about 25 albums on preorder for me extending up to April ....

scottb Posted February 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 All of RVGs shipped from CDUniverse today except BASRA. Hopefully it's coming soon. Anyone else get this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Skid Posted February 15, 2005 Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 All of RVGs shipped from CDUniverse today except BASRA. Hopefully it's coming soon. Anyone else get this? Mine haven't shipped yet, but Basra says "Pre-Order Now! Available: Tuesday, February 15, 2005". All the other RVGs say "usually ships in 1-2 days". I wonder if that will hold up the whole bunch. I think I selected the "ship them all together" option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazzdog Posted February 15, 2005 Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 I saw them all except Basra today...I thought there was one missing becuase I knew I was gonna set three aside for myself...anyways, maybe it comes late or maybe... NAH!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alec Posted February 15, 2005 Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 Don't forget that Borders is still having the buy 3 get one free CD sale. Although they are usally overpriced, it might be a good deal. I can't wait to pick up the Blakey and the Mobley, I'm sure I can find two more!

wesbed Posted February 15, 2005 Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 I placed my order with CDUniverse early last week. My order, too, has all the RVGs marked as ready to ship except for BASRA. My CDUniverse order hasn't shipped yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those of us here who...er...refuse to speculate with our older versions still retain them just in case something like this happens! I think I'll spin my old version of Basra in the car today...
