    Anyone who is taking advantage of this great sale, If you order 10 titles of the $5.98 SACDs you can pick out another one for free!!! I just ordered 11 SACDs for under $60. Wow, what a SUPER sale!!!!

    Interestingly, the link in the original post no longer takes you to the summer sale that included all of those SACDs at $5.98 each. My order still has not shipped and the prices on specific items that were on the sale now show full price. I wonder what happened with this sale. Did they get overwhelmed by a response they did not expect? Has anyone else gotten their order or noticed that it has shipped?

    Ordered mine on June 10th, and it is still showing "IN PROCESS" They must have outsourced shipping activities to China....

    Same BS here, no shipping confirmation e-mail, no answer on the customer support line - please leave a voice mail. Haven't charged my card yet either and I ordered on the 10th. Hopefully they are just slow and not re-thinking the deal.

    Just talked with a very nice lady at Concord, if you placed an order for the $5.98 CD/SACDs you will get them. She said it caused a big stink Friday internally because some titles were included in the deal that should not have been and they pulled the offer. Anyhow, she said mine which were ordered on 6/10 had been pulled and are ready to go out.

    Mine were ordered on 6/12 in the early evening. Still processing. My CC has already been charged it looks like. One of my titles, John Coltrane's Lush Life (sweeeeet) on SACD, I could have sworn was $5.98 but it ended up costing me $18.98. I should have double checked so I don't blame them. 14 SACD's for $90 including the $18.98 one. Hope they show up.

    Forgot to say thanks to Danny for the headsup.

    Thx!!!

    My order changed status to SHIPPED when I checked this morning. Hoping it was sent out yesterday, FEDEX Ground 4 days (supposedly) but no tracking number confirmation.

    slowpolky, the answer is yes.

    I called Concord Music Group about the missing CD and they said they were out of stock and since is was a blow out sale they won't be getting anymore. Good luck to the rest of you guys- you may or may not get your CDs.

    As of this post, it's indicated at Concord Music's website that my order is still "In Process". However, I just received my entire order.....except for the 2 SACD set to the soundtrack of "Amadeus" ($5.98 for the 2 SACD). I wasn't charged for it but since I placed the order for it, I should get it.

    Update - Called Concord Music's customer service # 800-551-5299 and spoke with Vicky. She told me that missing titles meant that they're backordered....and they don't ship out backordered items even when they become available again. Therefore, I shouldn't expect my soundtrack to "Amadeus" SACDs to be in the mail. However, Vicky told me to call back in about a month and talk to her; she said will honor my order and ship send me that particular title at $5.98, if available. Given that this is a SACD we're talking about, I doubt it if they're going to fire up the SACD pressing plant again. I will try in a month and see what happens.

    Cool, cause that's the SACD I was missing as well. Also, as you can see in my previous posts, it was not the story I was told by an apparently different Concord employee.

    My 14 SACDs came in yesterday, including Amadeus. While I'm happy it all worked out for me, the lack of information from Concord made me nervous.
