How serious should i take the NPG now?

Maybe i gett a seccond box, who knows...

if you get a second copy, send it to me please

who cares if they got the dates wrong...you got your boxset and sound happy with it.

i´m happy with it. That´s not the point.
How can u take them (NPG) serious after the message i got.

I wouldn't base my opinion of the npgmc on one reply that gave me a later arrival date of something i already received.
To me it's a technicality. Heym you might get two boxsets out of it, but one copy sounds the same as two.

It's easy to ignore this inconsistency if you already have yours, but for the rest of us who received the exact same e-mail, it means that they're lying. "Lori" could actually be a bot which automatically replies to incoming e-mails a few days later (to make it seem like someone took the time to look stuff up).

I'm beyond caring though, because I borrowed a copy of the cd's from a friend, so I can just copy them. It's just ridiculous, from the point of view of people who don't have theirs yet. I hope they don't send CD's in the mail next year. Just release to retail (since that's what happens anyways).

On a more positive note, this box set is one of the best things Prince has ever done! Wow! Fantastic!

Hi,

As I haven t receive it yet, I posted 1 email at the beginning of the month : answer : Your order shipped on 12-10-02.

Peace, Lori

As I still did nt get anything, I posted an other one

Here is the last answer from NPG gage :

It may have been sent a few days before 12-10. 12-10 is the latest it would have been sent. Unfortunately the tracking # hasn't been uploaded in our system. Once I do get that information, I would be happy to trace it for you.

Peace, Lori

which is completly faulse, I called fed EX, and nothing has been sent on 10,11,12,13 dec !!!

I hope Prince is not running his business, as he does with his club member !!!

LMAO!!

Well I've just received an email from Lori saying the usual bog-standard 'Sent 12-10-02', but nothing's appeared yet. Phoned FedEx and they told me that they couldn't do anything unless I had a tracking number.

So far, my $100 has bought me a half-hour long piano CD.

I didn't think anyone took them seriously before the message you got.
