It's weird that the same people, every year, have the same problems. We have received tons of orders in the last week without any trouble...

OK, so it is true that I was trying to place an order using Windows XP and Chrome often displays a message that says my browser is out of date. So, if the "it's not us, it's you" reason I can't place an order might be true. Or so I thought. I just tried to place my order again, this time from a PC running Windows 10. Guess what? That's right, I'm running into the SAME problem. My cart is emptied, I am not redirected to Paypal, and no order is generated (checked under my account).

I have no idea why nobody (or very few other people) are encountering this problem. I can only say that, if the problem was due to an issue with my computer/browser being out of date, using a (fairly) new computer running the latest version of Windows should have fixed the problem, no?????

we don't have any of your emails in any of our mailboxes.

Contacted Quartet through their contact form on their website. Yet they say they got no messages??? Is that my fault too? Perhaps I should just send them a Paypal payment and, if any titles I order are sold out when they get back from vacation, they can refund me? I ask because (I assume) the only way to make sure a title is reserved is to get an order number and that, if I just send them money, nothing is reserved for me (won't be deducted from their inventory and anyone else can buy it).

If any of these does not work, maybe due to any incompatibility or bug from Magento..

I do not know what this is.

If you can please send an email with your request to any of the emails that we have provided above, it would be easy to solve your problem.

Obviously there is some kind of incompatibility that I do not understand either.

I'm going to go out on a short limb and say I probably taxed Jose's goodwill during this sale a little too often.

Some of these titles went out of stock so quickly early on, that in the rush to get my order(s) in, I ended up making some selections that I shouldn't have- either because I already owned them or because I hadn't really thought them through.

Jose was kind enough to make the first two switches, and he was very speedy in his acknowledgment of them- but a third request may have just put him over the edge. I haven't heard back since.

Ironically (or not), the last couple substitutions I was looking forward to as much as anything else in the orders. Don't ask me why I didn't order them originally. I passed them by either when they were originally released or an earlier sale and just followed through ignoring them here.
Idle time spent listing to samples made me realize the mistake I'd made.

I am very glad some copies of Christmas Carol appeared to be available again after it had already sold out.
One of them will be finally mine smile

Among other stuff.

It annoys me to see a sold out title that I wanted back in stock after my order has been placed... because I rushed and bought the damn sold out title from another retailer for double what Quartet was originaly selling it for before the discount... grrrrrr! razz

Should have waited till the sale is over.

Dusty Groove has a wonderful system were you have the choice to submit your payment in something like 2 weeks after your order has been placed. Meanwhile you can add titles to your order before the 2 weeks are over and the total order price gets adjusted accordingly.

Very generous sale from Quartet especially the free shipping... thank you!

Hope that we see more Italian unreleased scores especially giallos in the months to come from Q...

Love this label!

went back and went through the catalog after you originally posted and didn't notice those two- though they both could have been OoS at that point.

I did notice a Morricone title was back along with the soundtrack to a Naschy film.

I'll have to keep an eye out for Killer Fish. Just listening to the samples for the first time now, and that stuff really hits my sweet spot.

Killerfish is superb I love that score.

Was hoping to change a title in my order but have not had any reply to emails I have sent.

^ From what to what? (sorry, can't help being nosey)

I found a German seller on Amazon.de that had Killerfish. €21 shipped. Would have been nice to have scored it for €13, but with none on Amazon or ebay, or even SAE, ~$24 seems fair atm.

He didn't have that stellar a rating, but it's through Amazon so I'm not too worried.

Somehow forgot to add the New Lavagnino title to my order was sure I had it on but must have taken it out of my shopping basket towards the end already had it in my basket before the sale started was planning on making an order then.
Thinking about it now know what happened was trying to keep an eye on stock levels to make sure I ordered it before it went to low in stock, Think I might have had 150 copies in my basket lol you can log into your account anytime to see if they are still available.

During checkout I deleted the whole amount but forgot to add one back.

Was hoping to swap it for a title that was already on my order:
The 5th Musketeer - Riz Ortolani

Ortolani's 5th Musketeer was a must have for me. Another hide and seek title that was out of stock, sold out, and back in stock again.

Even though the sale is officially over, if they have not shipped your order, they might add that Lavagnino title for you at the discounted price if it's still around. Just don't tell everyone about it. wink

A big Thank You to Jose!

I just got my order in, obviously way faster than I ever expected, and everything looks in excellent shape.

They weren't kidding about some of these being unsold retail returns. A few titles like Killing Me Softly, Hornet's Nest, and Yellowbeard clearly have various store price stickers partially removed.
Not a complaint, I just wish more of the back catalog could have shown up for this fiesta.


Now, what to listen to first...

Just been informed by Quartet that two of the titles which I ordered from day one of the sale were no longer available due to computer era (that's an original one) and that the third disc which I ordered will be shipped to me free of charge. (A Passage to India)
Well, I guess I can't complain and will continue looking out for 'Shout at the Devil' Jarre and Delerue's Piano Mechanique without paying stupid top dollar for them.

When, oh when, is Sunflower coming back into stock? It's been "TEMPORARILY" for several temporaries.

They are obviously swamped with orders and they have only started shipping them a few days ago...

Got my copy of Killerfish in today from that German marketplace seller.

Oddly enough, it was shipped from Kentucky (the retailer is Digital Wave)- I'm guessing this is another company owned by Super D, which owns Deep Discount and Import CDs among several others?

So far I've listened to eight of the titles I got during the sale. I'm very happy with all the selections, save for one. That last I don't exactly hate, it's just more of a "meh".

It will be a few more listens before I fully give up on it though. I know from past experience that my initial impressions can sometimes do a complete 180 with more familiarity.

I experienced that phenomenon with De Vol's quirky Hustle/Longest Yard from last year. Absolutely hated it the first time I listened, and was very disappointed in the purchase. I don't know how many re-spins it took, but now I really dig it and it's off the "to sell" pile and firmly in the permanent collection.
