Amzon CDs

geordie_joe

Just bought a set of CDs from an Amazon seller. 20 (TWENTY) CDs for £1.99 and £1.24 postage. Brand new and still shrink wrapped.

Total charged to my CC is £3.23. Do you think the CDs will arrive?

1 "20 cd SET: IRISH MUSIC:INC:LOVE SONGS:PUB SONGS:IRISH DANCE MUSIC" INLUDES: DAVEY BROTHERS: GLORIA FURY: DUBLIN FOLK BAND; Audio CD; £1.99

I doubt it's going to be "big stars" but I copy music to MP3 and figure if I can get a few songs I like out of it it will be worth it. I like Irish music and listen to it quite often.

The problem is I think the seller is going to lose money on the deal. Never had a problem with Amazon sellers before, and I buy quite a bit from them. But this sounds too good to be true.

Here's the page

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/offer-listing/B000ZARIFA/ref=dp_olp_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1198877599&sr=1-34

as you can see, there's a bit of a price difference between seller 2 and 3.

A fair big diference in price i see. Sold a fair number of items though so should hope it will be fine.

Tried to have a nosy elsewhere to compare prices but struggling to find.

I think there are a couple of options:

1) Price should have been £19.99 - the seller may refund with an apology
2) You may not get what you are expecting - did you see the following feedback?

1 out of 5: "I expected a 20cd set but only recvd 1 cd! feel conned!!"

It's always worth checking the seller feedback! Looks like the £2 seller is being naughty and not supplying goods as described and the £1.99 seller is using auto-pricing to achieve the lower price.

Though having looked at the product image this could actually be some sort of bootleg which others are listing or even someone has corrupted the listing which means the sellers may well dispatch something entirely different to what you're expecting.

On the other hand many amazon sellers do make mistakes with pricing and not accounting for postage so you could be getting a bargain and if not you have 30days to return the item for a full refund.

I was expecting a refund with an apology, had that a lot on ebay.

Didn't check the feedback far enough, but bought via CC knowing I'd get my money back one way or the other.

I will let you all know what happens.

I don't usually bother, just check how many transactions they have and the percentage of good ones. Most amazon feedback is useless, all it says is "Item delivered fast" or something along those lines. There's no link to the product so if someone says "product rubbish" you have no way of knowing which product they are refering to.

Yep, I saw that, once funkyfunkymonkey pointed it out. I am ready for a fight if I receive only one CD.

If it is it will be reported asap.

Originally I was expecting an email saying something like "Sorry, just tried the CDs and the jump so can't send them" but now I'm expecting just one CD.
