CD-Wow online order dispatched 2nd December from HONG KONG - DELIVERED 4TH DECEMBER! :)
There is a pleasure in the pathless woods, There is a rapture on the lonely shore, There is society, where none intrudes, By the deep sea, and music in its roar: I love not man the less, but Nature more...

  • Yes, I have to agree that CD-Wow are pretty good. Even when there's a delay and they're awaiting stock, at least they've got the decency to let people know.

    I rate them.

    The other thing with CD-WOW is that is you ever have a problem the service is excellent and you'll have a reply from their customer services in a couple of hours.

    As well as the difference in delivery times the big factor is why it's cheaper to send it from HK than to go to your local town centre and buy it!!!

    I can top that. Order dispatched 29th Nov Boots Chesterfield, Derbyshire. Tracked to Corby 2nd December. Put on and taken off van SIX, now must be seven times. Funny thing about this is I live in LEICESTER. Now I can't for the life of me see how you can get from Derbyshire to Northamptonshire without passing Leicestershire at some point. ???

    Say what you like about royal mail but at least when all my orders were sent with them I received them on time, even the ps2 - which came second class post and works perfectly.

    Business express are a joke, and I don't see why I should have to phone them up and see where it is. I shall be phoning boots again, tomorrow and telling them I am instructing my credit card company to claim a chargeback. I am not accepting something that has been thrown on and off a van over fourteen times. >:( Especially not when it is over Two hundred pounds in value.

    I once ordered a CD from PowerPlayDirect, and my sister ordered one a day later from CD Wow. She receied an email saying it was out of stock and they'd have to order it from their supplier, but hers still came first!
