I hope this gets sorted mate, you're far from the only one on here posting similar complaints.

And they should appreciate how polite your post was too - mine would have been a lot stronger in your situation.

Good luck.

In mail order customer service has to be king. If you can't mail out within a couple of working days of receipt of an order then you need to tell the customer why. The best advice you can get as a small label is that being independent and beating the prevailing system nowadays demands that you try your hardest to be even more professional than the best corporations not less. Love them or hate them Amazon and iTunes set the bar pretty high. Which is why they have such a huge chunk of the market. That said I will always buy from the artist first if they offer a decent deal and decent back-end but once-bitten ....

There are artists we have all heard of playing pretty decent sized tours who only mail out orders once a week. Which is criminal now that most payments clear immediately. On the other hand there are set-ups like Marillion's which are extraordinarily well run for a one-artist store. So it can be done. If people care enough to see that it is done.

Glad they finally came through for you. One thing that fucks me off immensely is shoddy mail order.

What did you get from Invada in the end?

Pfft. Geoff Barrow needs to sort his shit out. If you can't run a business properly, don't take people's money and then ignore them. Wank.

Before you slag Geoff off on a public forum, you need need to know the full story, so keep your bullshit comments to yourself.
