CD WOW to stop being cheap - aaaaah!

Dear Member,

The UK Major record companies through their mouth piece the BPI* have unfortunately restricted the UK and Irish consumers right to enjoy the freedom of the World Wide Web.

As from this weekend, any CD ordered for delivery to the UK and Ireland will incur a surcharge as we are only able to deliver CDs manufactured within the EU (more expensive).

Delivery to the rest of the world will not be affected.


This does, of course, mean that from now on, CDWOW will be just as much of a ripoff for CDs as the rest of the world. The UK's a great country and all, but the CD prices suck.

Check these before buying... If you can wait a week or two for it.

these are still cheap, ordering via Channel Islands [Jersey - play.com and splashdvd] and [Guernsey: powerplaydirect] - they don't charge VAT at 17.5 % and offer free delivery to the UK

powerplaydirect.com looks almost the same as CDwow..

CDWow have a limited range of titles, Top 75 and established artists.

Powerplaydirect and play.com stock a much wider range, including independent labels.
