Anyone use them? I ordered 6 CD's and a DVD about 3 weeks ago, 3 CD's arrived fairly promptly but I have had nowt since. They have taken my money, I have checked.

They are usually fairly quick sending out my stuff, wondering if there may be a problem?

you can do the same VISA trick that you did with the muse tickets that you didn't receive. may as well claim the whole lot - those 3 cd's will turn out to be free  :mrgreen:

i see that fopp has closed now as well. my favourite music shop. boooo.

It is a Luxembourg Visa card I used through Fortis Bank, it is a credit card of sorts but not sure if it works the same as a UK VISA.

same rules mate, should be okay.

one thing though, they do have 30 days for delivery, unless they have stated otherwise. e.g. if they said it'll be despatched in 24 hours, then they'd have to stick to that promise.

I am not even sure the remaining items have been despatched to be honest. I'll give them another week or so.

Hot Fuzz on DVD along with Pigeon Detectives, Manics and The Twang which were despatched on 11th and 13th June and I have received.  Waiting for Mumm-Ra, Biffy Clyro and The Cribs. Order was made 7th June.

Do you happen to know or be able to recommend albums by The Holloways or Sunshine Underground?

Holloways are a bit "happy yay its summer" kind of music I think

I liked Fopp. Every price was a nice round number - none of this £13.99 shit.

I think the Sunshine Underground album is good; had it a few months.

Holloways I haven't listened to much but it's ok from what I've heard.

That is the same with Good Shoes and Maccabees, I tend to buy albums and forget to listen to them much!

Still no sign of any of my CD's. Just ordered another 9 from Play, they have a big sale on so have bought some cheapo stuff, couple of Black Rebel Motorcycle Club albums (any good anyone??) and the new album from The Enemy. Hopefully they will be more reliable than CDWOW.

first BRMC album was good in a sleazy, droney jesus-and-mary-chain kind of way, but i haven't heard anything from them since.

have you ever seen "dig", the documentary about the rivalry between the brian jonestown massacre and the dandy warhols? brilliant viewing. anyway, the singer from BRMC used to be in brian jonestown massacre.
