Delete now with my apologies if this doesn't interest you :

Update...I got 4/12 which I ordered with no indication concerning what
to/not to expect. I had also ordered another 5 and heard nothing on
that. I emailed and inquired. They told me they'd investigate. I get an
email back with a "sorry, no go" message - BUT I should get all of the
2nd order. In the meantime, another friend of mine gets told that they
cannot get 2 of the very cds they have just told me thay can supply. I
informed them that I was considering contacting the BBB over "bait and
switch" tactics. They offer me 20$ off of whatever I want and tell me
that they "reserve the right" not to supply certain cds in RARE
instances like mine. Trouble is, from what I've heard via the Ambient &
IDM lists, *my* situation isn't rare at all, but seemingly their normal
way of doing biz. I know some of you got freebies, but that's not what
I'm looking for. They are either using bait and switch tactics on
purpose or else they are completely clueless in a business sense (the
excuse they offer is that they "switched distributors and the new one
cannot supply most of the titles in question". WHY switch to them,
then?). At any rate, I thought that this URL may be of some use to those
of us who think that myshopnow has been intentionally dishonest with
their selling tactics. I know they're lying - at least to my friend
and/or possibly to myself. As long as everybody takes it in stride,
they'll probably keep it up, too. If you're interested...
