Hi guys,

Signed or not...Hayley's book would still be an excellent addition to anyone's library!! I have recently ordered mine and am anxiously awaiting its arrival. I hope it arrives after school is out for the summer; however, 'cuz I doubt very seriously, I will get much work done!

Cheers,
Eric

Hi Eric

I received my copy of Hayley's book a month or so ago, its a really good read. Infact, I will most likely read it again very soon. There are some lovely pics of Hayley at various stages of her life and it certainly gives you a good sense of the person that she was and has become.

Enjoy

Mark.

Hi everyone,

I just ordered a few copies of Hayley's CDs on other online stores and finally found myself browsing Hayley's store. I noticed there were no CDs available.
Is there any particular reason for that? Legally speaking, aren't they allowed to sell Hayley's CDs ?
Just wondering

Best wishes,

Stephany

'The World at her feet' has arrived! Yeah! I also see Gerald's initial on the parcel. This book is a very good item to add to my Hayley collection.

Hi all,

I am pleased to announce that my edition of "The World at Her Feet" has arrived, as well! i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif I was beginning to wonder if it had been lost, as I experienced a little longer wait time than some of the other members. However, I realize now that my order took place during one of their busiest schedules! Regardless, it's here now!!!

And I have to say...well done!! The book was carefully packaged in a thick layer of bubble wrap, and arrived in pristine condition! I was honestly impressed as to the care that was taken in packaging this item. I have not had the opportunity to read the book yet, but I'm sure I'll find time soon enough! It was well worth the wait!!

A Happy Hayley Fan,
Eric

Hi Eric,

I'm so pleased that your book arrived at long last! You will find reading it will be a joy. Did you remember to look for Gerald's initials on the customs declaration sticker and his other writing on the parcel?

Now we know where Hayley learned her penmanship!

Enjoy the book,
Joe

Hi Stephany,

Sorry for the delay in responding but, at my age, it takes a while to think of an answer!

I don't know if any legal reason exists which prevents CDs being sold at the online store. It is possible that they may have to buy their own supplies just as we do and then pass them on to customers at a higher price which is unlikely to generate much business. It is also likely that they would not be recognised as an official CD sales outlet and so any stock sold from there would not count towards the chart position.

I'm guessing though. Factual replies take even longer!

Congratulations to Raymond and Eric for the arrival of the book. It is an essential part of any Hayley collection and I know you will find her story fascinating.

Enjoy!

Hi Raymond!

Happy that your book arrived. Many wonderful items of interest to be found in the book that will enforce how gifted Hayley is!

Hi Joe,

There was nothing on the parcel, other than the weight of the package and something like, "New Zealand Post." The customs declaration sticker, I did take a gander at, and I could faintly make out what appeared to be either a "J" or a "G". It was clearly addressed from Christchurch, NZ which, needless to say, raised my heart rate more than a little!
And I am still amazed that the book arrived in such a neat condition having spent so much time in the mail, and having travelled so many miles! Excellent job!! And thanks for the encouragement...I will have to delve into the book when I have a few hours to spare, as I'm sure I will have a hard time putting it down.

Eric

P.S. I did take a quick "sneak peak" at some of the pictures in the book...and I do like her baby pictures!! They are very, very cute!!

[Stephany]

Hi Roger,
Many thanks for your answer. I can't think of a better explanation but maybe it's also because it would give lots & lots of additional work to Mr Westenra
Belinda was kind enough to offer me "The World at Her Feet" and have it autographed when Hayley was in New Zealand. I didn't receive it yet but I obviously look forward to reading it. Belinda...you are a Gem!!
Eric and Raymond, enjoy the reading!

Best wishes,
Stephany

Hello Eric!

That is almost certainly 'G' for Gerald! i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif

Hello Roger and Stephany,

Can I have a guess too?

Well the CDs are of course owned initially by the record company and at the low volumes likely to be sold by the Hayley store they would probably have to be sold at or not much below recommended retail price. That could mean £12 to £15 or so and not many people would buy them at these prices. When you add the costs of packaging and posting, it becomes an even less attractive idea.

I've read that some "normal" and smaller record stores have problems with this, supermarkets for example often sell CDs at prices below what it costs a smaller record store to buy them in at wholesale.

So the answer may simply be... simple economics, I suspect.

Cheers, Dave

[roger]

Simple economics? There's no such thing!
