Anyone tried ? Anyone succeeded ?
How do I get in contact with them ?
Now that I can buy NEWS here in the UK for 8.99 GBP
it is pretty damn stupid paying US$13+ to get it from NPGMC
and having to wait even longer to get it from NPGMC than in stores - once again ...

Once again, Prince has done it again
gee who was surprised ?

I haven't tried it, but I'm seriously considering this, seeing as I can order the damn thing for £8.99 and receive it in a couple of days, as opposed to sometime next year.

Try contacting Musictoday at merchandise@musictoday.com.

Let me know how you get on (either org.note me or through a post here). If you have any luck I'll follow suit.

I wasn't surprised that Prince's people fucked up (again), just really disappointed. They can't seem to learn from their mistakes - and he seems to hire people who make a virtue of inefficiency. What a twat.

I've just written to Musictoday to cancel my order. I'll keep you posted.

I wrote to them too.
lets see what happens ...

Umm wasn't it US who fucked up ? we cant seem to learn from our mistakes - we seem to believe prince would actually hire people who are actually competent and efficient ...

how can u blame "Prince's people" for the fact that shipping overseas costs more money than it does to the US? DUHHH. get real.

Cancelled my order and reordered NEWS from CD Wow.

I never blamed Prince's people for the cost of the CD and overseas postage. I blame them for not pressing up enough CDs.

Just got this

I would still like to cancel my order. Please get this done ASAP. I have already received my copies of NEWS so that's all there is to it. I go them before you could get them out to me. SO again please cancel my order.
thanks

BAH !

I sent my cancellation mail 2-Jul and got answer from merchandise@musictoday.com today (10-Jul).

I simply wrote them that I would like to cancel my order, gave them my order number and order information.

So the cancellation process worked just fine.

Hmmm,

I sent a cancellation request about 24 hrs ago and haven't heard anything back yet... Did anyone else get confirmation that there order had been cancelled?

*Peace*

Congratulations. They took their time, didn't they? Don't forget to pick up a cheaper copy at your local shop next week.

Blame Prince's people? Isn't it his decision when to release an album to his club and then to the stores? The name on the CD is "Prince," isn't it? Blame him.
