I got the items I was waiting for from them today. Took a week in all but I can live with that. And yes, use their own site. I wish I'd known about it sooner as the items I'd ordered would have cost about £5 less.
They do free P&P over £10 too which is very reasonable and doable. Some of their stuff is inexplicably priced higher than Amazon but mostly they are a bit less.

I've had stuff off them through Amazon and ebay. Didn't realise they have their own site. I'll check them out. Rather give the money direct to a small company than grasping Amazon.

This company looks decent - not to the point that the late Dodax was decent but tending towards better prices than HMV or Amazon, though not for every item.
https://www.rarewaves.com/ Good rep on Trustpilot although they seem slower to deliver than some others. I got a couple of items coming from them ordered a week ago (via their ebay store - only just found their own site) which haven't arrived as yet but I'm not too worried since their rep seems good. Anyone used these before?

Yeah life must be a real struggle when you're only worth around 200 billion dollars.

Poor Jeff Bezos must be struggling financially.

Greedy indeed. They've also added adverts to Prime Video for paying customers and stuck ad-free viewing behind an additional paywall.
Prime still pays for itself in delivery if you buy a lot from them but there's no doubting Amazon's greed. Them who have the most always want more.

I see Amazon has put up their minimum purchase for free delivery up to £35 (UK). Guessing it's gone up elsewhere too. Sheer greed the profits that company makes. I'll be buying my music elsewhere unless I have no choice.

^ I buy both. I generally prefer vinyl but if it's overly expensive I'll go for the CD. I'm also put off vinyl if the sides are very short. E.g. they've split a 50 minute album over 4 sides of vinyl.

I haven´t purchased or listened to a CD in many years. If I want something tangible, I´ll purchase a vinyl. There´s still something magical about vinyls...CDs not so much.

CD's are getting expensive these days, even on Amazon. £18 is not unusual. Any suggestions for cheaper online prices will be gratefully received.

Ridiculous that replacements aren't an option. Hope you got a refund.

Not music but Amazon majorly fucked up our standing order for cat food this week. We get two boxes of 40 pouches of Whiskas delivered on the Subscribe & Save rate every four weeks. This time though, our order somehow ended up going to the wrong end of the country (we're in Essex and it ended up in Scotland) where it completely vanished from the tracking system. And apparently replacement shipments are 'not an option'.
Needless to say, we no long have a Subscribe & Save order with Amazon. Nice work guys!

Amazon being totally shit again. had the new Incantation album on order on vinyl since 4th Aug. it was released 25th Aug and they still haven't got it in stock 6 weeks later. Tempted to cancel it but the price promise guarantee was as low as £17 so will have to pay more if i do.

So Amazon have a pre-order price of the new Metallica album of £44. Fuck that, I'll never pay such a ridiculous amount for an album no matter how good.

Amazon UK, letting me down on a hotly anticipated pre-order, yet again.

Not sure when it happened but looks like Dodax is no more.

Amazon have always been overkill on packaging size choices but this is ridiculous.

I was on live chat with them for a whole hour this afternoon trying to get it sorted. Got passed between to not one, not two but SEVEN different representatives before I could finally get one to escalate it higher up the chain. I've now got to wait 48 hours before trying again.

^ Very strange. Must be a glitch surely?
I read a while ago that as from January they aren't taking visa credit card payments but not sure what the latest is on that. Clealry wanted to get Xmas out the way before dropping that one on people and risk losing sales. Might have to think about buying elsewhere with all my music purchases.
