I used to buy there more in the past (until 2 years ago) and then I found some better online stores with a bigger prog and metal catalogue and cheaper shippings. But before every purchase I make I do a price comparison between at least 3 stores with Amazon being one of them and they are competitive most of the times (especially the sellers), but so far I haven't made any big order from them as the cd prices are either higher or the shipping is making it not worth it. But it always best to check.

very rarely use Amazon.... the international stuff is easier to get, prices are great, and the service excellent from syn-phonic.   Didn't know until recently (when tracking down some obscure symphoninc group) that the owner is also a prog record company owner.  Explains the insane selection of albums he has....

Oh, do they not have the 'super saver' shipping thing in the US? I order from Amazon.ca and theres free shipping on orders $39 and up... Which makes me very happy Smile

 
That only applies for orders shipped directly from amazon. I buy almost all used, and don't get such a luxury, though it about evens itself out I guess.

Amazon has some great selection and good prices for the most part, but as of lately I have employed the services of smaller retailers (Syn-Phonic, Laser's Edge etc.) more often as their prices are better and service MUCH quicker.

Im not a customer there, but a friend of mine is. Some of the CD's there are very pricey indeed.

I never buy from the store, and sometimes from sellers.  The store itself is generally pricey, but the sellers have good deals (a shame shipping is $2.50 or something per CD Ouch)

I just recently made my second order with Amazon... I find it quick, easy, and quite a bit cheaper than buying from CD stores in my area.

My first order I bought:

Gentle Giant - Acquiring the taste, Three friends, and (my favourite, I downloaded it a long time ago and I just had to have it) Octopus

Strawbs - From the Witchwood

Caravan - In the land of grey and pink

This order (hasnt arrived yet, ordered it the other day):

Steve Hackett: Voyage of the Acolyte, Please Dont Touch, Spectral Mornings, and Defector (all remastered versions [woo, bonus tracks!])

I didnt have any problems with the first order except the jewel case lid on 'acquiring' didnt fit the bottom of the case for some reason, and had a little crack... so I just replaced it, no big deal...

It came quicker than I thought it would too...

Well anyways... I look forward to what everyone says Smile
