| cdwow is the only place for me these days. the free shipping alone is a major attraction, but their selection is excellent and their prices are incredible. they also send you vouchers every 10th cd you buy, with a value of the average price of your last 10 purchases. they also do vinyl, dvds, video games and books... --- On Wed, 3/24/10, Kenneth Hooper <kenneth...@hotmail.com> wrote: |

It wasn't so much the service, but the horrendous duty charges I'd get nailed with from Canada Customs on nearly every package. I got tired of arguing with customs officials about how I'd be buying these CDs in Canada if I could find them, but I can't so why the hell are you charging me duty, blahblahblah... I get almost everything I need now at CDWOW, and I leave the local indie stuff to my neighbourhood brick & mortar store. Once in a blue moon The Ideal Copy has a better price on an item, even after shipping and the potential for duty, but it happens less often all the time. --- On Wed, 3/24/10, Rufu...@aol.com <Rufu...@aol.com> wrote: |

releases and the lowest price they have for Spoon's Transference, for instance,
is $17.99.
But I guess if you take shipping off, you can cut a few dollars off of that.

| If you get them as preorders they're significantly cheaper. Also, they have random, frequent sales as much as 20% off, or $2 and $3 vouchers for purchases ALL THE TIME. The most expensive stuff on the site is U.S. artists on a U.S. label, like Spoon... m --- On Wed, 3/24/10, Joseph Whitcher <jos...@fac51.org> wrote: |

Do you usually shop from the US site? Does what they offer vary between the US
and UK sites?

Anyway, I used to order from CD Wow quite a bit, but haven't since they changed ownership (I think they did?) and raised prices across the board. I may give them another chance here, tho...

CDWOW doesn't have enough vinyl selection for me and I haven't used them in years (although I always had positive experiences in the past). Anyone have any good recommendations for vinyl shops online? I do most of my ordering through ebay now. :-/

I haven't used them in years because the last time I did - which was around the time the US site went live so that might have something to do with it - it took weeks and months for things to show up which was just not OK. I generally go through Amazon.co.uk for new releases now, and with VAT prices being taken off even with shipping it's only slightly more and you're guaranteed a nice UK pressing instead of some weird Asian release as Jason says, and you get it in a much timelier manner.
RE: Insound
I've used them twice - once it took forever for the order to even ship, but this most recent time I placed my order on Monday and had it by Thursday or Friday.
I will say that I've totally stopped using Action - whom I used exclusively for well over 10 years - as the last package I ordered took literally months to arrive and the usually great customer service was terrible with the follow up. It makes me sad, but what can you do - between Recordstore.co.uk and Amazon.co.uk [for the big pop singles], I can get pretty much anything I'm looking for.

| When there's no difference between packages (same tracklisting, same artwork), they make it a point of connecting you with the cheapest version out there. If that means ordering a CD on the US site but actually having the CD purchased in the Netherlands or shipped from Hong Kong, then so be it. They're very specific when there are different editions available, although I rarely see Japanese "+bonus tracks" releases up there. The biggest advantage from my perspective is that since they're based in the UK a UK release on the US site is still considered a sale item. I honestly can't say enough about them - you can pay with a credit card, paypal or through Google, they don't bill you until it ships, and they'll notify you if they're unable to secure stock on an upcoming release. I just looked it up, actually, and today is the one year anniversary of my first purchase! I'd conservatively estimate I've dropped $4,000 on there since then. m --- On Wed, 3/24/10, Jason <lam...@gmail.com> wrote: |

| US site for me, and no difference in stock. The only bummer is that they offer $1 vouchers if you submit an album review, and they're only valid on the UK store. |

for vinyl, again piccadilly and recordstore.co.uk. phonica has a great selection as well but it's mostly dance music/remixes, etc. i realise it's all UK based but it's easy for me!!!!
