Aaaaaahhhhhhhh!!! They stole my Precious!!!!!
I had pre-ordered my copy of "The Return of the King: The Complete Recordings" as soon as it was available. I got a shipment notification from Amazon.com on November 19th, with a delivery estimate (by expedited international shipping) of December 5th. I still didn't have it by yesterday so I inquired about it. This is the reply I just got:
Thanks for writing to us at Amazon.com.
Please accept my sincere apology for any inconvenience that may have caused you due to this misunderstanding and please allow me to explain.
I'm sorry to hear about this situation. Usually, I'd be able to create a replacement order that would be shipped to you as soon as possible at no additional charge. Unfortunately, I can't do that in this case because the missing item is now unavailable from our supplier.
Instead, I've requested a refund of $69.97 to cover the cost of the item and associated shipping costs. We'll send you an e-mail to confirm the refund once it has been processed.
We are very sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused you. We appreciate your business and hope that you will give us a chance to serve you better.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! I NEED THIS!!! I was counting on having it by Christmas so I could really indulge over the holidays!!!!! *SOB* I guess it's unavailable because of some problems there were with one version of the soundtrack (I only scanned one entry on my flist mentioning this), but I don't care why, I just care that I NEED IT AND I DON'T HAVE IT!!!! And the Amazon listing - ANY Amazon listing - now says they have no idea if and when it will be available again! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
*takes deep breath*
Would anyone out there who did get it be so kind to rip the CDs for me? PRETTY PLEASE?! I will pledge you my firstborn child! Or send chocolate or fondue or whatever you want! *pathetic puppy dog look*
