The only place I buy from is amazon.co.uk, just because I buy other stuff there as well. They're pretty quick to deliver and the prices aren't bad either.

Karl Hungus · 16-06-2005 6:27pm

I use www.play.com and www.amazon.co.uk

If you pay by credit card it gets converted by your credit card company.

Play.com haven't too bad a metal selection. Better than I had expected anyway. Sadly, CDWow aren't as good

Ah, but wouldn't the postage charge be pretty big? Suppose it's worth it if they have hard to find CDs.

I order from the US a lot and some places can be a bitch for postage*. Most of it still ends up cheaper then buying the CDs here.

*Worst offender being Henry Rollins, I was going to order three CDs and three books and the postage was over $40!

I've bought a good few things off them - really good value. Delivery is really quick, same as Play.com or other like it.
The only problem I had was when something was out of stock, they never gave me any feedback as to when to expect it. I eventually cancelled that order.
For anything that's in stock though, they are grand.
