How do I use the shopping cart?

To buy CDs from the Absolute Distribution web site, simply click the icon next to the title you want. You can choose as many different titles as you wish, as the shopping basket will store the information until you are ready to proceed to the checkout.

To check the progress of the order and amount of CDs you have chosen, simply look to the information which appears at the bottom of the page on those screens where you can buy items. Alternatively, clicking Shop from the menu at the top of the page takes you to a detailed view of your shopping basket.

Once you are ready to go on to the payment stage of the process, simply click on the view shopping basket icon and you will be taken to the shop log-in page.

How does the process work?

Before being able to purchase anything, you will need to create yourself a shop account. This account is used by us to keep track of your details and is a handy way for you to retrieve your details when making return visits to the site. Your username should be your email address as this means we are able to send you your password, should you forget it, and more importantly, your order confirmation when you place one.

We do not use your details for any other purpose than keeping track of your order(s). We have a separate mailing list for news from Absolute Distribution and it's labels, including Fresh Sound and Blue Moon. These details are kept by us and are not passed on to any third parties.

At no time are any details of bank accounts or credit cards stored by us at Absolute Distribution in our database. These are held by the authority which processes the payment, which in the case of paying by credit card is Caixa Penedès.
