Your questions about Berkshire Availability as shown in catalog Vs web site. The new database search they show on their site is very unreliable in my experience... But it is definitely more reliable than the catalog. If you see something in the catalog that is not on their website, search again using different possibilities... conductor, label performer... etc... I find that some items show up one way an not another. Shipping Times: This is the area in which Berkshire is most unreliable. A year ago, I could count on no order taking more than two or three weeks. My last 10 orders have taken from three weeks to 6 weeks with the average being 37 days. That is using parcel post... but it took Berkshire a month to get them in the mail. In Stock... if on web site? There are no guarantees here... but they aren't too bad... Out of the last 100 CD's I have ordered, only 7 were cancelled as being out of stock. The problem with their method is that you DO NOT know until your order arrives a month later when they just pencil it out on the print-out copy of your on-line order. I think Berkshire has slipped a lot. Their once famous packaging is now terrible if you order less than 7 CD's and small orders arrive broken. Their prices are higher. Their delivery times are much longer. On their positive side: They have managed to preserve the same disagreeable attitude, and they still sell CD's you can't find elsewhere at a reasonably decent price. Depending upon where you are of course... I shop on-line, because the nearest store that stocks ANY classical music CD's is 150 miles away... Now when I want country-western that's a different story and I can shop in a local store... still the treatment is not what you would expect. Ray Bayles
