People like Moonjen have accused me of disloyalty and slander against Camsco and Folk Legacy for pointing out the inflated shipping charges at Camsco.

First of all, leave Folk Legacy out of that. I pointed out that Folk Legacy's charges are virtually the same as CDNow's.

It's been said repeatedly in this thread that small companies like Camsco and Folk Legacy have to charge more for shipping than big companies like CDNow and Tower. Well, Folk Legacy charges the same. It is only Camsco that charges more.

My interpretation is that Camsco is making their price appear competitive with the major outlets and then hiding their true price in the shipping charges.

As for the service, I have waited at least two weeks and as much as several months for deliveries from Camsco. I have ordered more than 25 CDs from them in the past couple of years. On Friday, I made my first order from CDNow. It arrived this morning, only five days later.

With the difference in prices and shipping charges, I have paid about $50.00 more to Camsco than I would have to CDNow. Enough for about three more CDs. On my budget, $50.00 is a lot of money.

BTW, I made the order at CDNow through the link at the website of Sing Out, the folk music magazine. Sing Out says that ordering through that link helps support the magazine. I have been a subscriber to Sing Out since long before Mudcat, or even the internet itself, existed. You have no right to question my loyalty.

Moonjen, I don't think I want to be around judgemental people like you.

GOODBYE MUDCAT!
