NPGMC - my theory for the delay....

...having just received the ONA Live Box Set due to a cock-up by FedEx (they lost my box set when I went to collect it) and a delay in reissuing (Archway had a delay in "obtaining inventory") it got me thinking...

Would I sign up for 2003 having not received the box set?
Answer: A resounding "NO"

Could the delay be due to NPGMC ensuring all members receive their box set in order to maximise membership potential for 2003?
Answer: Kind of makes sense.

Here's keeping fingers crossed...

Good theory. This, if anything, is mine also. I think they would legally need to resolve any complaints filed outside the BBB.

I doubt this theory is correct. If 5% of NPGMC members haven't received their boxset yet, which would be an enormously high figure, then it doesn't make any business sense at all to delay the collection of cash from the remaining 95% of "happy" customers.

Hi.

Forgive my ignorance, but I've been travelling since I was a member of the 1st NPGMC. What did people get with the second year membership. Just the ONA Piano CD??? Cheers.

Personally, I believe that NPGMC (if not Prince himself) are fully aware of fan opinion of the club and want to get things right before going forward. This can only be a good thing.

From my POV I was pretty satisfied with the membership even without the boxset - this was icing on the cake for me...
