Where to buy, where not to buy? - PLEASE HELP!

Does anyone know of the best and most reliable UK sites for buying region 1 DVD`s. I`ve used www.Play247.com but they seem to be getting behind on orders at the minute.

I`ve had a look at http://www.movietyme.com, and I`m not too sure about them. They seem okay and pretty proffesional, but has anyone used them successfully before? And if so how fast is delivery of in-stock items? Any help would be much appreciated!

Come on someone! Does anyone have any bad experiences of any DVD websites, and are there any strong reccomendations? (British Stores, as I don`t have a Visa!)
Cheers!

There aren`t any UK stores that handle R1 disks as far as I know because technically it`s illegal to sell them over here. Movietyme and others are based in the US or Canada, and as I`ve only ever used Play247 myself, I can`t be of any more help. Sorry.

I nearly always use dvdboxoffice.com who in my opinion are the cheapest.Idid recently order two discs from futureent.com, one arrived in three days, one in five days.Never use videonow.com, i`m still waiting for a disc i ordered 13 months ago,i recently sent them a reminder but they never answered. Good job my cc refunded my money.
