[online than in towquote="kinmad4it"]I've found Play just that bit cheaper than Amazon. DVD's, CD's and video games are always cheaper n, plus, slow walking grannies and puffs with man bags piss me off so I avoid it.



Don't beat about the bush son tell it like it is more power to ya!!!!!!!! :funneh

Try shopping for computer upgrades, ink cartridges and the like. There's some great deals out there £££££s cheaper than the High St. :Very Happy Never had a problem with any on-line supplier I've used.

E-BAY mainly due to the fact anything and everything is avaliable there and most sellers use RM for delivery. :Applause

Use Amazon, E-bay, 7 day shop (highly recommend their own ink cartridges,99p each, epson ones £25) & also a company called Gizoo.

Try PLAYUSA(dot com). It's the same company as play(dot com) and as long as you have a multi region dvd player you'll be able to get dvd's like Starburst (18th December), Resident Evil Extinction (2nd January) or Ratatouille (6th November). The prices are about the same as everywhere else, but you get them a few months before the UK releases and there's no postage. Just remember you need a multi region dvd player and you can get one of them from amazon for under £20. :wave

I use a site called Quidco http://www.quidco.com/ where you can earn cashback by purchasing goods or services from companies through links on quidco's website. I've made a few bob and with Christmas coming if you intend to do a lot of shopping online then you can earn some good cashback. Most of the top online stores are there.

This is not a scam, it really works.
Down with the blackleg, all workers unite.

Use Amazon market place as well as Amazon, some great prices from some of the market place sellers (check feedback).
Also use some American shops online for CD's & ebay.com is good for records, usually loads cheaper than UK even with postage.

I shop online quite a lot and find Play.com is the safest bet. Fast and reliable and cheaper 90% of the time and also if you buy an Xbox game or DVD and you want to flog afterwards it you can do so at Playtrade (Plays version of Amazon marketplace). It's better than Amazon's Marketplace as they don't take such a large cut like Amazon do. :sad:
Always check prices via a price comparison website like kelkoo.com and Its worth taking a look at Martin Lewis's Moneysavingexpert.com and search the forums and links for the latest offers. I've just bought an Xbox wireless controller and 2 Xbox360 games all for 35 squid!! :Very Happy
LOVE being a postie

All my family shop on line and it is time saving and you can get bargains - BUT - I was buying a TV the other day and had tried all over to get a 19/20 inch LCD for the bedroom sub £150 and the only one who had them was Argos who was out of stock - anyway I ordered a CRT from Comet when I went down to pick it up, I was wandering about looking for the one I'd ordered and noticed a 20" LCD for £159. It didn't appear on line though because when I got it home I typed it in on Comets website and it came up at £199 BUT out of stock. From that I presumed that at a certain stock level they are removed from the website and are sold off store by store until theres replenishment or until they're all gone.

Shop online for games, DVDs, Books, cables, and hardware. Don't like shopping in high street.

best get your orders in cos the packets are comming in thick and fast now.and we all know how the packets backlog every year.now theres no nights, packet sorters will no doubt be taken off and told to sort mail.sort the mailsort whilst 1st class packets sit in thier yorks.then theres not enough drivers with the time to cover the delivery of the packets.christmas is great.
