    Amazon charge postage Play don't. Postage if buying from Amazon for 1 cd is £2.28stg, if buying from a marketplace seller on Amazon it seems to be £1.82stg for some reason. I just said Amazon because I feel the choice is better. I've used Play many times too, and they are decent. Although it changed a little recently, where the cd's are from 3rd party sellers a bit like Marketplace sellers on Amazon. Just compare both price wise before buying, but my preference is Amazon.

    BTW If it's O Emperor you're after I would buy from their bandcamp site. Nice to know you're supporting the artist directly.

    My problem with HDWOW is that they advertise albums,dvds,games etc for sale and some of them they say in stock ready for immediate dispatch, these are fine. However some stuff, although released and available in shops or other online stores, they say "dispatched within 7-10 days". Be careful if ordering one of these as I have had to, on a few occasions, cancel the order, as there was no sign of it being dispatched. When you contact them they just give a stock reply of "waiting for item from our suppliers, will send when..............bla, bla bla. Also they charge your card when you place the order, not when they dispatch the order.

    I'd buy with Amazon nearly all the time because you can get the digital track for free. Although have bought CD's from play.com as well postage can be slow though.

    I use wowhd all the time. Free postage and well packaged but can take a while to arrive. good price too.
    I found that most CDs I ordered from amazon were badly packaged and I had to replace the jewel cases.
    Always check Ebay too as you can sometimes find a bargin if you know what you want
