www.chaos.com emailed me and said they didn't ship overseas.  That's really weird becuase I ordered from them before.  I guess I will just order it from somewhere else!! Hi Cathleen, The same thing just happened to me after I checked my inbox. You would think they would say no overseas delivery when registering on the site  . Anyway I just ordered a copy from Soundsnz.com  . I hope you were able to order from somewhere else. Emmett |

Yes, I ordered one from Opuscds.com since I know they ship overseas. This is what the guy told me as the reason for no overseas shipping on chaos.com: "Just to full you in on what has happened, on September 1st 2004 chaosmusic.com moved the management of it’s website across to a third party company called Hotshed. We rebuilt the site and re-launched it with basically all the same features and catalogue, however we did decide to suspend international shipping on the chaos site due to an extremely large incidence of fraud. Having said that we are keen to re-introduce international shipping and are currently working towards a solution that we hope to have in place before the end of the year." I'd say that was a good reason, but you would expect them to tell you first!! |

Hi Cathleen, Yeah I ordered one of them too. They have a good reputation and I think most people on here order from them. The reason they gave me was a little shorter than the one you received. The only pain was having to register with them first, which took me a while. Good to see you one on the way i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif. I can't wait.........  Emmett |

Last minute order! i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gifWell guys, I'm about to order Odyssey from HMV Australia as it's currently at the best overall price I can find and as a bonus, they are a well known Company. Their price is AUD24.99 (22.72 after tax deduction for overseas) + AUD7.00 airmail charge, total 29.72 or £12.82 after conversion. The credit card company may add on a couple of percent though  Can anyone beat that? It seems to be a couple of pounds less than the NZ and other Australian online stores would charge - and less than buying it in the UK as an import. By the way, exports from NZ and Oz (or anywhere) won't count towards their album charts |

Dave, it looks like you got the best price! I should have ordered from HMV Australia, but I think when I checked it a couple of weeks ago, the price might have been higher. Oh well, maybe next time! |

Hi Cathleen, you have given me the confidence to go ahead and order - done! We'll have to wait and see whose copy arrives overseas first  By the way, you can normally cancel online orders right upto the date it's been posted, as that's when they bill you. Not that I'm suggesting you do that... I'd be in trouble if the HMV copies are the last to arrive!  Also, you have to watch the US exchange rates, they could make a difference. The UK edition is available to preorder at Amazon UK who have today reduced their price to £9.99! (the best I've seen). There are some strange happenings though, it's currently been moved from their Classical Music section into their Pop Music section. I wonder if Amazon know something that we don't know? They still have no tracklisting up, but it does make you think... On the plus side, it's now upto rank 582, its highest to date and it *would have* been no. 14 in Amazon's main classical chart if they hadn't removed it Cheers, Dave |

Hi all, I just ordered 'Odyssey' from HMV Australia Online. The price was exactly as Dave mentioned above...in US dollars the total cost was around $23. The registering process was a bit of a pain, mind. But it's all secure so you'll not have to worry. |

Yeah, I guess I won't cancel my order because I want to see who gets it first overseas! Last time I ordered Pure from Australia so this time Odyssey will be from NZ. I'm glad to see you guys finally ordered. |
