Shostakovich - Symphony No. 7 "Leningrad" - Vasily Petrenko and the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra (Naxos) Seems appropriate right now. Something tells me that if he were around today, Dmitry might rededicate this to Ukraine.

That's what I've always had to do when ordering directly from them: follow up and request shipping confirmation and tracking numbers. And occasionally it takes more than once to get a response. Another customer-unfriendly thing about their website is the search function--it's quite cumbersome. So what I've learned to do is first get the UPC for anything I'm looking for, and then search their site with that. It's not the easiest place to buy from, but I HAVE gotten some good deals from them.
