4cheapcds

Anyone ordered from these guys before:
http://www.4cheapcds.com/Home/
They seem to be pretty cheap i.e. £6.99 icluding delivery.

They say they were an amazon seller before. They are based in Singapore and so are probably a bit like cd-wow.

Any thoughts

  • I've never used them but their prices look identical to https://www.bangcd.com who have always been very reliable when I've ordered from them and who are also based in Singapore or somewhere...so you could use them instead unless there are obvious savings?

    Hope that's some use.
  • I've used BangCD and they are great, they'll even try and get hold of a CD they don't have on their list if they can.

    No, No, No!!!!!!!!! BangCD are so on the wrong side of the law!!! I have placed one order WITH them in the past and let's just say the CD that arrived could have been made by myself at home with my CD burner :rolleyes: NOT GOOD!!!!

    I have also used 4cheapcds and would recommend to anyone. Good service, good delivery!!

    I've bought once from 4cheapcds.com but the delivery was a bit slow. Cd-wow were quicker.

    Now we've got TWO different posts about this 'unknown' company - starting to sound a bit like Spam.

    There are many many posts on MSE from very happy Bang CD users so don't quite know what Dave's problem is. The only thing BangCD did wrong was use CD-Wow's mailing list when it first set up (probably by an ex CD Wow employee).

    So you got a duff disc?. There are posters here who've had Disney DVD's with !!!!!! on them and discs from Play/CD-Wow, etc which all appear to be pirates - I guess it happens every now and again by no doubt a disgruntled employee.

    I'm not defending Bang nor berating your posts but an average MSE would rather use a supplier they've heard of and had relatively good expereiences from than from a new and completely unknown entity with posters slagging off the competitin?.
    Anger ruins joy, it steals the goodness of my mind. Forces me to say terrible things. Overcoming anger brings peace of mind, a mind without regret. If I overcome anger, I will be delightful and loved by everyone.

    It isn't a one off mate, this is what they do.

    Of course if people want to carry on ordering from them then feel free but I really would suggest not to.

    reviews for 4cheapcds, NOT GOOD

    http://www.ciao.co.uk/4CheapCDs_com__6377130

    Avoid 4CheapCDs like the plague!

    VERY POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE

    and

    http://www.dvd.reviewer.co.uk/forums/thread.asp?Forum=223&Thread=528753

    4cheapcds.com have charged me £135 for 3 cds. I ordered 17 cds, received 3 cds and 1 of them was the wrong issue. Sent emails regarding this matter, received nothing in reply. So I don't think £135 is awfully cheap for 3 cds

    and

    I've, already posted a reply on this board before about this company(If you don't mind) confsmiley.gif I'am in the process of doing a chargeback, but that doesn't mean I will win. My update on this matter was to enlighten all that 4CHEAPCDS.COM are disreputable to the extreme. Wether to this board, or any other board. happysmiley.gif

    and

    I've posted about these before as well. They are crap, beware. They do not reply to emails. I ordered a CD for Christmas and received no notification as to whether it was in stock or not despite emailing them. I decided to cancel (or try to) the order as it was a Christmas present and so needed in time for the 25th. I then ordered from Bangcd.com and received no problem. Then a week later, i received through the post, the cd i had cancelled from 4cheapcd's. They still ignored my emails. My advice is to give these a wide bearth and go with Bangcd.com all the time!!

    Bad points :Slow, no respose to emails, phony phone number
    General comments :This lot are well dodgy. They don't reply to emails, they take ages to deliver, if at all and the phone number on the site is fake. Avoid despite the cheapness of its products.
