Websites to purchase DVDs in the UK? - Science Fiction Fantasy Chronicles: forums

Hello everyone

I've been a way for awhile but I return looking for any sites that sell DVDs (based in the UK, I don't want to have to wait or pay for excess shipping)

I currently have;

Amazon UK
DVD World and
Play.com

Play.com is the cheapest however they keep going out of stock (waiting for S2 to come back in) but Amazon is the one I trust the most (bought a lot from them), so do you have any others?

Thanks

I buy all mine from Play.com...I trust them and have never had any problems with them.
But Im sorry I don't know of any others that are cheap and always have them in stock!

Thanks pamie, well they now have Seasons 1, 3, 4 and 5 in, just not 2, lol. I have e-mailed them asking when they will have another delivery (it doesn't seem to take them that long).

I am curious, Amazon are quite quick at getting things shipped, is play.com?

Generally speaking Play are a little slower. I have waited a week to ten days for shipments from them on average.

other sites of interest.

www.blackstar.co.uk - not really that cheap, but worth checking out as they often have sales, and sometimes have just what you are after on the cheap.
They ship blisteringly fast too.

www.cdwow.com - they don't have a fantastic selection, but offer various different regions, including the standard one and two. The cheapest place I have ever bought dvds from - often I will buy a dvd or set from cdwow, watch it a few times and sell it on Ebay for more than I paid for it. They also provide you with 50p discount vouchers with every purchase you make.
You should maybe ignore that last site though - I just checked and it doesn't seem to stock any sg1 dvds, should be useful for future reference.

Well bravo with highly brass knobs on. Odd though, I recieved an E-mail from Play today saying they didn't know when S2 would be back in strock, oh well, I won't order it tonight (about read and then sleep, work tomorrow

) but I hope they don't go out of stock again (got that everyone, no ordering S2 from play until I have

)

Thanks for the help, it is much appreciated.
