Well if you'd shown us her face, we might have recognized her:

Aaaaah, the Diplomatic Solution.

Nothing is beyond the reach of the Great and Powerful Jackson. If you call him and bitch about the inequity of the situation, he may be able to call the warehouse and get some results.

Or else tell them that this year we're giving them the gift of music, i.e., that we're going to let them listen to our new Concord CDs.

A while back, they also sent me a Wolf Bierman CD by mistake. I wonder if they're trying develop more Wolf Bierman fans.

When i was in Belgium a month ago I took the train to Koln just to see the cathedral drop in at 2001. And you didn't offer to pick up a bunch of stuff for the rest of us???

Of course, I prefer to just send Erik to Germany to pick up mine.

Hank Mobley, "Dippin'" (RVG)

It may not be 2001's service that's the problem, but rather the shipping companies/postal services. As you point out, their customer service is always very responsive.

Call Jackson--he'll make it right.

IIRC, shipping to the US is 22 Euros for any order up to 2.5 kilograms (about 5.5 pounds), and 32 Euros for any order over 2.5 kilos. At the current exchange rate, that works out to about $28 for up to 5.5 pounds, and about $40.75 for over 5.5 pounds. EDIT: It really only makes economic sense to order from them when they're carrying box sets at terrific prices (e.g., I recently got the Mingus Debut box from them for 30 Euros, or about $38, along with some smaller box sets).

What a co-ink-a-dink: I happen to be listening to that portion of the Debut box right this second!

Well, at least you have your priorities straight! I think I speak for everyone to whom you owe CDs when I say don't worry about them--just take it easy and take care of yourself. And if I don't speak for the others, then F 'em!

Then I guess it's a good thing I just ordered it.

DAMN! Can't believe I missed this thread until now! And here I was just about to file suit against Paul for those CDs he owes me. (See, Paul? I told you that Paypal shit could wait. ) Hope you get to read this thread SOON, and in great comfort.

Shut yo' mouth!

Maybe they'll be denied US visas?

Now, how about running a 10% 20% 30% off sale for September?

It's a great set--not to be missed! And TM, I haven't gotten the Elvin yet, but it looks like now I will.

Here.

Stick to hollow bodies (like a nice vintage L-5).

To ensure that I get full value if and when I sell one of my Universal Mosaics, I'm going to include one of these:

What are your coordinates?

Actually, I did end up getting both the Coltrane and the Evans boxes from the Concord sale. I just made it, apparently--my order was on July 24th. But we're still sending Jackson for your Coltrane box if you screw up again.

From the Concord site (i.e., Summer Blowout Sale), it appears that the only Weston about to go OOP is "Get Happy", FWIW.
