| | Posted: | | | | Play.com, but I haven't used it in a while. I pretty much stick to Amazon.
I sometimes use bol.com, but that's mainly Dutch releases, and the site is in Dutch as well, so that won't help you much. | | | View my collection at http://www.chriskepolis.be/home/dvd.htm

| | Posted: | | | | WOW HD is not bad. They're based in the Far East, so it takes a while for their stuff to get there, but in my experience they're reliable. They pack every item individually to avoid unnecessary customs charges. |

https://twitter.com/FoppEdinburgh I used to use a local store a lot, over a third of my DVD's are from there. They are now closing both of their stores in my city  Quoting ya_shin: Quote:

AFAIK Play.com is now like eBay, only a front for other sellers. Quoting GSyren: Quote:
Nowadays I mainly use Amazon UK, but sometimes also oldies.com. Not that much into older movies, but seems like they sell newer ones too. Quoting dee1959jay: Quote:

Is that the same as Wow CD or something similar? The age of physical media being mainstream is coming to a close. Only us hardcore collectors will remain in 10 years or so. |

Sadly, that might be true! A well taken care of DvD should last 70 + years, and players will be around for decades. |

CD-WOW was bad for some time, and I also seem to remember they had their stocks destroyed in a fire some years ago, but nowadays WOW HD has got its act together again. | | | | Last edited: by dee1959jay |

| | Posted: | | | | I usually go with Amazon (I'm on Prime) but if there's a significant saving to be made I'll go to pretty much anywhere
http://www.find-dvd.co.uk/
takes me... the stores thay use may be a bit slower and not so good in customer service but most of the time there are no problems and they will sort them out when here are given time. | | | | It is dangerous to be right in matters where established men are wrong |

| | Posted: | | | | Base.com in the Uk are pretty good.
CeX are best for prices and delivery speed - condition can be variable but they always replace if there's a problem.
I sincerely hope I'm dead by the time physical media disappears! |

| | Posted: | | | | Follow-up to my previous statement about CeX here in the UK.
I ordered True Detective and The Book Thief on blu on Sunday evening.
I saved £10 on Amazon prices.
They arrived by Tuesday and they're in perfect condition. |
