Advantages: Excellent prices, Excellent delivery time
Disadvantages: Too much of a focus on new releases and chart CDs
UPDATED SECTION:
In the time since I wrote the original version of this review, CD Wow has gone from strength to strength. At that time they simply offered CDs and DVDs - now there are games, DVD rentals, electrical equipment like digital cameras, and lots more. The prices on everything are excellent with further lowering of many prices. Some chart CDs and new releases are now available at only £6.99 and prices are still very affordable all round. Delivery times continue to be very quick, although I've still never had quite such a quick turnaround as the MASH DVD referred to in the previous review.
Since writing the review I've continued to buy a great many products from the site, and have done most of this year's Christmas shopping there. It's quick, convenient, and very cheap, and well worth your time.
The only downside is that they don't have as full a range of products as somewhere like HMV but this is only to be expected - they focus more on new releases and chart products.

I've been buying from cd-wow for quite a while now but have only just decided that it is worth giving my opinion on their service. The truth is that I am gobsmacked by the whole thing. Their prices are excellent for one thing. £8-99 for a CD is incredibly cheap, and their DVD prices are fantastic too.
As far as DVDs are concerned they stock just about every Region 1 and 2 DVD that you could possibly wish for at excellent prices but the aspect that has just blown me away is their delivery time. Here's my latest example of an excellent buy....
M*A*S*H Season 2 DVD (Region 1)
The listed price was £17.99 with free delivery. They had a special offer on which was that if I signed up with Natwest's new 'FastPay' service I would get £2 off. With the 20p charge that FastPay make that meant that my total price for a 3-DVD box set was only £16.19.
I placed the order late on Saturday, and knowing that it would be shipped from Hong Kong I expected it to take at least a week. But on Monday morning I received it! That's faster than almost anything that I've ever ordered from within the UK!!
I will never ever buy a CD or DVD from the High Street again, and I heartily urge you to do the same. Use cd-wow!
