Has anyone else here ordered music from this company?

Check out the confirmation email I got from them:


Your CD has been gently taken from our CD Baby shelves with sterilized contamination-free gloves and placed onto a satin pillow.
A team of 50 employees inspected your CD and polished it to make sure it was in the best possible condition before mailing.
Our packing specialist from Japan lit a candle and a hush fell over the crowd as he put your CD into the finest gold-lined box that money can buy.
We all had a wonderful celebration afterwards and the whole party marched down the street to the post office where the entire town of Portland waved "Bon Voyage!" to your package, on its way to you, in our private CD Baby jet on this day, November 13, 2009.
We hope you had a wonderful time shopping at CD Baby. In commemoration, we have placed your picture on our wall as "Customer of the Year." We're all exhausted but can't wait for you to come back to CDBABY.COM!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Sigh...
We miss you already. We'll be right here at http://cdbaby.com/, patiently awaiting your return.

I'm thinking sad more than anything else.

Does all the preceding bollox mean that they have despatched a silver beermat in the direction of your postal address ?

Indeed. I lost Nils Lofgren's 'Acoustic Live' set at the recent MAD dinner/cable fest in London, so I had to replace it. You can't seem to get the CD new here in the UK, therefore an import job was in order :)

I'd say that the above text would constitute a contract.
So Marco, when your new disc arrives and you find it's not ensconced in the finest gold lined box that money can buy - are you going to sue?

For instance, after a translation back and forth from japanese, the above text becomes:

Team of 50 employees who will test your CD and polished it to make sure is that before you send in the best possible.
A candle lit in our packaging experts from Japan, he is your best gold CD box put silence fell over the crowd, along that money can buy.

There's another theory, but it implies some forbidden substances, far more expensive than the CD they sell... :D

Ooh, yuk... don't do that, it could make you ill. I recommend cleaning yourself up with Detol.
