Well in CDinzane's defense here it is harder than you think to keep up with inventory sometimes. I love that customers don't often consider this. And to say it does not happen with The End, Sentinel Steel or Shadow Kingdom well I have had it happen with everyone one of them. My very first order with Shadow Kingdom years ago for Artillery CDs before the Metal Mind was issues was just this case. Tim wanted me to take something to replace the two CDs not available, twice I had to ask for just a refund. Of course my first and only order with Inzane CDs were out put the money was refunded. As for the End and Sentinel Steel it as happened on several occasions over the years. But personally ordering stuff for myself I have had short packed orders, wrong editions, even wrong titles, and so on it is no big deal most people will correct it without a hassle.
I suggest to buyers who do not understand that screw ups can happen then I suggest they try it. Most of the people who run these mail orders are often one or two guys dealing with a lot of orders top of with bitchy winey people asking stupid questions, complaining about something pointless or whatever so yeah there tends to be screw ups.
Talk about the stupid shit buyers bitch about; where do they get off on complaining if you send them FREE stuff? See these are what kind of people mail orders deal with. I also love the crack case people there are a hoot. Then there is the guy who orders every few months who contacts the day after the order complaining that he has not received the CD, felling to realize there is an ocean between the U.S. and Australia. Then there is the guy who email a couple of times a day everyday from the time the order is placed. Man I could go on forever. And what I'm talking about is something only guys who have mail orders would understand cause we all deal with these issues. Maybe this is why I don't bitch if a mail order mees up on my order.
See this is where you are wrong. CDInzane isnt just some small distro run out of his home office. Then I could back up the issues with the distro. But if you have employees and been doing this for a while...stuff like this should not be an issue.
I have dealt with running a very small video mailorder. I never once sent out the wrong stuff to anyone. I was always quick because I knew how much I hated waiting on stuff.
If you cant seem to get stuff right or even get your stuff out at a reasonable time...why are you even doing it??? Heaven and Hell records....remember the hassle with my Cirith Ungol disc???
I understand people are busy and have things going on. If this is something that you are going really part time...put a disclaimer or something on your site. You are running a bussiness.
This is why I usually stick with distros who have never screwed me over or messed stuff up like The End, lasercd, Shadow Kingdom and Sentinel Steel. With these 4 I have ordered for over 4 years now and have only had 2 screw ups which were fixed in less than a week. not bad.
