So the other thread where I mentioned Caiman does not get hijacked, I decided to start a separate thread on this seller.

 

What do you think of them?

 

All things considered, I think they suck.

 

Admittedly, the items I order from Caiman are usually more obscure than your regular CD that you can buy at WalMart, but I am sure my fill rate from Caiman hovers at 50-60%, which is horrible. Still, I order from them when they easily have the best price on something I want, just in case they can deliver.

 

But if it is something I really want, and they are the best price by far (or the only one carrying it), I know I have a 30-40% chance it will be filled.

 

Some other points:

 

They constantly list an item as SHIPPED on Amazon and Half.com, even when it is on backorder. I don't find out it is on backorder till I contact them 2-3 weeks later and Claire tells me "Oh yeah, it's on backorder. Please let us know if you would like to cancel the order."

 

They also will keep an item listed on those two sites, even though it is on backorder and they have no idea at all when they will get it in stock. I have confronted them on this several times, and got no direct answer to this matter at all.

 

IMO, if they think they MIGHT be able to get it within the next year, they list it.

That doesn't sound good. I think I've ordered from them 4 or 5 times over the last year and I've gotten everything I've ordered without any problems. I wouldn't say they're the fastest shipper in the world or anything, but I did get the stuff I ordered. :)

Like I mentioned in the other thread about Caiman, I ordered one thing from them(From the Inside) and after waiting 3 or 4 weeks I finally contacted them and they said it was on backorder(even though it said In Stock when I ordered it). I got a refund the next day and don't plan on dealing with them ever again.

Their rating sucks and with good reason.

Yes I'm not a big fan of this seller but I didn't mean to post it 3 times.

I was having problems with getting my post to go through and it even said 'cannot find server', so I was a little suprised to see that I posted the same thing 3 times.

I cannot remember the specific CD, but a buddy of mine ordered it through Caiman and told me about it after it was already on backorder, and he mentioned the price. I told him to cancel the order and get it through NuclearHell.com, because counting shipping costs he was paying about $7-8 more.

 

Well, he decided to stick with Caiman. Meanwhile, I ordered it through NuclearHell.

 

Guess who got it first????

 

:rofl2:

 

He finally got his over two months after ordering it.

 

:doh:

 

I basically check everywhere else before I order from Caiman.

I have bought many CD's from Caiman, either off ebay or geman Amazon, and never had any serious problems. They always arrived within a reasonable timeframe. :)

Have ordered a load of stuff from caiman over the years and have never had a single problem with them. Admittedly the shipping isn't the quickest, but usually everything has arrived within 10 days or so to the UK. Very good prices as well compared to over here.

As I said over on the "Dave" thread (sorry about the :hijack: ) I haven't had any problems with them. I have received my orders within a week after placing them and they are always new/sealed as stated. No problems with anything being back-ordered. Just got King Kobra - Ready To Strike from them today after ordering it on the 25th. Still waiting on Thrill of a Lifetime but they sent a separate email saying it went out 2 days after Ready To Strike. I guess I should consider myself lucky but maybe it's just my rugged good looks that has Claire getting my stuff out to me so speedily. :batman:

Yep never had any problems with orders not being fulfilled at all. They always seem to be reasonably quick too. I've ordered at times bunches of up to 10 CD's (when I was sorting out my Kansas stuff from vinyl) and although they didn't all arrive at the same time I did receive them all within about 3 weeks.

I've never had a problem with them. Sometimes I have to wait a extra week for them to get it in but with the, you can keep track of status. I don't mind the extra time as long as I get it. I'd order from them anytime over someone else because I know I'll get it.

If it wasnt for Caiman, there would be huge holes in both my CD & DVD collection!

 

I'm willing to put up with the 2 weeks or so it usually takes to get stuff from them as their prices & reliability is awesome!

 

In the last two years I must have ordered from them over a 100 times, and a friend of mine also thinks they are the mutts nuts after I recomended them to him.

 

 

Fact is, if I look for a CD and I see Caiman as a seller, I will always order from them, even if there are sellers slightly cheaper!

Man, that is so much the opposite of my experience with them! Wow! :blink:

      Stryper - Acousticyzed (CD+ blu ray/DVD)

      By whiplash1972 · Posted

      As best I can tell, it’s Acousticyzed re-issued with new artwork, and in all the various formats mentioned. This is exactly why I didn’t worry about picking it up earlier this year, as I figured MS would whip out the holy schlong and try to get the hardcore fans to shell out for a second version.

      Not really something that fully appeals to me, but I certainly don't see it as dogshit. If it came on the radio (not that I listen to radio) I certainly would not turn it off or skip it on a playlist.

      Interesting song choice as far as covering Journey, but they likely wanted to go with a lesser known track.   I'm not a fan of the vocal effects nor the guitar tone.  It's a skip for me, but not as bad as I was expecting after reading the prior comments.

      By heavyharmonies · Posted

      Ehh? Is this the same content retitled, or a completely different set of live material?... there's so much wrong with this announcement: This album was previously released as a very-limited CD/DVD.  It sold out instantly.  So we went back in and did a Dolby Atmos remaster/remix of the album, and all new artwork. But CD and DVD don't support Dolby Atmos. That's not a thing. Blu-Ray yes, but not CD or DVD. ALSO - Not only will this be available on streaming platforms but we will soon be announcing the release of Vinyl, CD/DVD, and Cassette.  Yes, you read that right.  Cassette.  Oh - let's talk about the video - the BluRay video has been upgraded to 4K for this release "Upgraded to 4k"... whut? Unless it was reshot using 4K cameras (or was originally shot in 4K but simply authored to blu-ray in SDR) and is completely reauthored to support HDR, a 4K UHD release may not actually be an improvement. Boomers saying boomer things...

      From the Michael Sweet FB page: You asked for it!  And we listened!  To Hell with the Amps, our acoustic album, is being released worldwide on May 10 to streaming services everywhere.   This album was previously released as a very-limited CD/DVD.  It sold out instantly.  So we went back in and did a Dolby Atmos remaster/remix of the album, and all new artwork.   ALSO - Not only will this be available on streaming platforms but we will soon be announcing the release of Vinyl, CD/DVD, and Cassette.  Yes, you read that right.  Cassette.  Oh - let's talk about the video - the BluRay video has been upgraded to 4K for this release.   There are so many exciting things to come with this release.  Stay tuned here and at Stryper.com We are looking forward to taking this acoustic album on the road starting May 30.
