CD-WOW is an online store that offers excellent prices, free delivery, and good service.
I currently purchased two CD’s from the company and was very impressed with the prices and service.
The company are associated with companies such as: Egg: Virgin. Net: Beeb.com: Kelkoo: MSN: and Lycos. Although they are associated with such company’s they still consider themselves a small company who are dedicated to customer satisfaction.
The two CD’s I mentioned that I bought were: Elton John’s- songs from the west coast, and Kylie’s - Fever. See the following for examples of its prices:
Kylie at HMV-£12.99*; at Amazon £9.99*; Woolworths £12.99* CDWOW £8.99 (p&p free).Elton John at HMV- £12.99*; Amazon £12.99*;Woolworths £12.99*; CDWOW £8.99 (free p&p)* Denotes postage and packaging to be added. All major release album are priced at £8.99 (including p&p)
All the top hits are on the site and
delivery is FREE, which has to be an added bonus! You can also pre-order albums such as; Britney Spears new album Britney (November 5th); Madonna-greatest hits (November 12th); Michael Jackson-Invincible (October 29th). As soon as the release day is here they are shipped to you, accordingly.
Two of the company’s directors have spent most of their working life in the music business, thus offering excellent value and a great service.
The company has been voted No2 in the top twenty list of online stores (as in .NET magazine). In addition two consumer sites have highly rated it as well. C iao gave it 4 ½ stars, while Dooyoo.co.uk gave it the top five stars. The company is a member of the - Which traders association, which makes it a secure proposition. Also a company called Biz rate had a massive 10,000 votes for the company, which ultimately gave it a gold star!
The site is fairly quick to load up, and immediately you are given the top twenty albums on the left hand side. While on the right hand side you can; browse the top 75 albums; check out the bargain basement (A must); Search the site and more. In the middle of the screen, is a recommended choice?
So now you’ve decided to place an order and realise that the site is safe, how do you pay? Easy by either of the following methods; All major credit/debit cards; Pay box; Safe door; Splash plastic; MSN passport; Egg wallet; or by cheque (via post), or send you details via fax.
Delivery is extremely quick and efficient. CD’s are usually dispatched within 48 hours. They are packaged in a little box, which can slip through your letterbox; so no need for someone to be at home to collect them.
A recent survey gave the site the following marks:
·Ease of use; 9.0

If you need to return any item you can do so, within fourteen days, provided it is still in excellent condition. If it is because you dont like it; or it was a present duplicate you can get a refund minus a nominal £1.50. If however there is a fault they will replace freely.
CDWOW is also available on itv digital; Bush Internet; and freedom land. If you enrol as a member on the site, you can store multiple delivery addresses (ideal for presents), check your complete order history, and receive special offers.
All in all CD-WOW gets an impressive 10 out 10 from me, and I recommend it a lot.
