    Never had any problems wth them - suggest logging back in and checking out your orders.

    If you have acidentally order multiples you may still be able to change the order.

    I find it marginally cheaper to buy in sterling by the way - same site just click the British flag and let your CC do the conversion for you. It is marginal though as Bang are pretty accurate with their euro conversions.

    EDIT: OOps, see you paid in paypal so won't be able to change your order per se but still log in to see your order if it is a mistake then phone them or email them.

    It costs something like 3-4% to receive a payment on paypal. A lot of the time sellers will add this cost onto the total if a buyer chooses to pay through paypal

    The other reason for the difference is probably VAT related. UK pays 15% while we pay 21.5%

    I think it's the seller that pays the Paypal fees. Unless this is something new?

    Edit - GStormcrow had replied in the meantime. Well, at least everyone, Paypal or not, will have to pay the percentage,so we'll never notice it! :D

    I have paid with paypal most of the time and never got charged with bangcd. As for delivery to ireland it takes 2 weeks plus. Never had any problems with anything i have bought from them

    there is no charge a buyer to purchase with paypal. It's the person who receives the funds who gets hit.

    It takes nearly a month at the moment to get anything from BangCd. Oh and I wouldnt recommend trying to contact them to see if the cost is correct. I sent 17 emails to their customer service in the last week, and didnt get a single response. You just got to sit and wait from them to arrive in February.

    Warning: BangCD use to be great and reliable for getting delivery quick but since November there seems to be problems with them.


    I ordered and 3 weeks after dispatch there was no delivery and after a further week and 3 support emails without reply I lodged a dispute with PayPal, I got a reply in PayPal in a few hours from BangCD and refund the next day.

    Still no cd 5 weeks later or email from support.


    Some other people with similar problems.
