Amazon AU price watch thread...

Bob James / David Sanborn

Double Vision JAPAN gold MQA CD
AU$8.12
https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/product/B07TNJVTZR

 

This is very cheap - $225 on US Amazon!

 

It looks nice, but somehow feels like a rehashing of this: Philadelphia International Records - The Collection (2014, CD)
I would buy it, but a lot of the albums are doubled up.

 

Andrea Bocelli

The Complete Classical Albums 7xCD box set
AU$44.88

Paul McCartney & Wings

Venus and Mars expanded 2x CD
AU$18.39
https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B00M2OZLQK/

 

Think this is a US pressing

 

It’s on Hong Kong label Evosound with a disc made in Japan.

I'm calling shenanigans

 

100%

 

Send them a link to this thread so they can feel the burn.

 

I got the email, too.

Oh well, if something seems too good to be true, it probably is.

 

Just got the exact same thing.

Clearly never sent and just making it up.

 

Great to get everyone's BS replies and send them back in one email to them

 

Worth noting that under Australian Consumer Law I think it is true that shops do NOT need to honour genuine pricing mistakes.

So I don't think it reasonable to blame this company for not loosing over $100 per box to honour this mistake.

 

True, but is inexcusable that a business should come up with outright lies to try and cover its mistakes;

"We have been informed that your order has been damaged during shipping and returned to us. We have tried to source a replacement for you, but unfortunately we cannot deliver the item to you in the timeframe we have promised."

Clearly, this is complete nonsense!

 

I got that message as well. I would have preferred an honest 'we stuffed up and listed the wrong price' email, but I'd probably rather the easy refund now than having to deal with returns later.

 

No joke, I just saw a story on the news relating to a truck rollover where an entire shipment of King Crimson CD boxsets were damaged. There were people crying in the streets trying to gather up what fragments of the boxset they could.

one troubled soul at the scene even proclaimed “I was at the infamous Heineken truck roll over of 1994 and this is worse!”

 

I think they have to make up these stories otherwise Amazon will make them honour the original sale (or at least get warning points against them as an Amazon seller). I don’t know this I just think it!

 

It's quite plausible! Hopefully the refunds won't take too long.

 

Just got another email to say that my order for the Santana MoFi has been cancelled as well!! Shop abroad get zero points from me!!!

 

I got one overnight for a Peter Green coloured LP - same excuse, same BS.
Not fussed - swings and roundabouts.
