Advantages: Price
Disadvantages: Price
Fed up of looking for the cheapest prices when buying cd’s? Yeah, so was I, so I decided to spend an hour or so going through them all (well, 11 of them) to find out for certain. I decided to choose a cd that has just come out so all of them should be able to supply it - I chose Born to do it by Craig David. Now, the few US based sites that I tried didn’t even list it! So I’ve decided not to even to include them. The sites vary in presentation from slick and professional down to garish and decidedly amateurish, although they all have online security. I’ve decided to ignore presentation and go for price, price , price….after all, that’s why most of us use the internet when buying. Anyway………here’s the results. All the prices include postage within the UK. 1 - www.cd-wow.co.uk £8.99 2 - www.audiostreet.infront.co.uk £9.99 3 - www.musicbox.uk.co/ £10.99 4 - www.whsmith.co.uk £11.94 5 - www.jungle.com £11.98 6 - www.uk.bol.com £11.99 7 - www.cdbargains.co.uk £12.45 8 - www.amazon.co.uk £13.47 9 - www.hmv.co.uk £13.49 10 - www.101cd.com £13.99 11 - www.cdzone.co.uk £14.20 Wow!! A difference between the lowest and highest of £5.21. How on earth can people like CDZone survive, I guess it’s just a case of people not knowing any better. It might be worth bookmarking the top 6 because from time to time they each have special offers on, but if your after the top 75 then cdwow is way best as I’ve said in an earlier opinion of mine. I buy quite a few music cd’s and ever since finding out about cdwow I haven’t used anybody else. Now come on guys, this has got to be a very useful opinion surely?

- 22/09/00 This is a very useful opinion but by the time i have a credit card the company might have gone. How can 12-25 year olds on low pay incomes use these internet services? Infact if there is a bank opinion on this website i will be writing an opinion! |
