    Glad I can entertain, but its true. Any GOOD business in this situation would simply try to secure copies that are to be released on the 29th from other stores for the "oversold" customers that they CHARGED.

    I've obviously become the "unhappy customer" here but for most things you can get your way as the customer. You just have to raise enough hell with them ;)

    that's just it, it's not true lol,...good luck "raising hell" :)

    Not to rub it in, but I just got a confirmation of dispatch from them - I ordered last monday, just to reassure folks in the same boat.

    was such a nice option as i didn't want to be up at some ungodly hour for the 10c sale

    we were 2 of the first people to buy, stell. we should be fine i hope. the americans were still asleep when we ordered. <shifty eyes>
    Yeh I've seen Pearl Jam, too. But I can't remember the dates.

    Not to be a jerk, but they need to get in touch with other record stores or the distributor and fix this by securing enough copies to match what they just sold in 5 minutes.

    It's 100% unacceptable to run a business like this, no matter how friendly or small the business is. Maybe its the businessman in me, but that's how I would fix it.
    My understanding is that they're the 'official' distributor for the label releasing the LP, so it's unlikely they'll be able to get more stock.

    and for everyone that moans about the problem on TODAY's sale... they actually got out of their ways to cancel the scalpers sales of last week..

    so think of it that way: even if you don't get one on today's sale, the people who did are most likely real fans rather than the flippers that 'bought' them last week.. and you wouldn't have had even the chance to try for 1 today if they hadn't cancelled those orders then re-sold them anyway..

    what time did you get your order confirmation? It took forever for my payment to go through. I didn't get mine until 8 minutes after.
