Cadence/Klompfoot Shipping Question

[colinmce]

I noticed on the Klompfoot website the shipping rate is $12 for 1-9 CDs. Meaning that if I were to buy a single CD I would be charged $12 shipping.

Anyone know if this is actually the case? Is he serious?

[Leeway]

Yes, that is the case. Unless they have a special sale and waive the requirement. Essentially, Cadence is still a wholesale operation; they supply a lot of other outlets (well, those that still exist). They have importation arrangements with a lot of labels and function as the distributor. Not easy ordering from Cadence, CIMP or Klompfoot (where one ends and the other begins is still a bit of a mystery to me).

[colinmce]

Huh.

Still basically the cheapest source for the Cecil Taylor Cadence CDs so I guess I'll probably end up getting them from there.

[Leeway]

I think they are selling some CIMP titles directly through Amazon as a reseller, usually at $15.98 a title, and usual Amazon shipping charges prevail. But the Klompfoot operation is wholesale. Get on their mailing list; they have sales from time to time.

[Chuck Nessa]

try the telephone.

Thanks for the Amazon tip, Leeway, I found them there, indeed from Cadence. They were just very, very buried and took several searches even within his items to turn both volumes up.
