I've looked around for various classical CD suppliers, and have been
using Amazon. Does anyone have recommendations for suppliers who are
cheap and reliable? Thanks in advance to anyone who has the time to
answer.

My last couple of orders from Amazon for classical CDs took nearly four
months and over a month respectively. An order placed at the start of
September has an estimated delivery window extending to the end of
October. This is a lot worse than their performance in earlier years.

I have bought some classical DVD's from Play com, and these have come quite
promptly. Not sure what CDs they may offer, but my experience of them is
that give good service. The main drawback is a limited coverage of
classical music.

Fairly recently, I tried 'Bath Compact Discs' and bought a CD and a DVD
from them. Via email they apologised that the discs were out of stock, so
there would be a delay. Despite that, the discs came within 10 days. Given
this was a first order from me, and there would have been a delay as they
had to clear a cheque I'd sent, this seems good to me. Their drawback may
be that they probably don't offer large discounts, but I am hoping they
will offer good service when I place future orders with them.

Slainte,

Jim
