Number one definetly is http://www.play247.com but youve probably already heard of it. its jersey based. i ordered terminator 2 ultimate edition and got it in less than 2 days. free p+p. their service is quality and second to none.
Another site i would recommend is http://www.futureent.com i cant remember where they are based but they are in britain. They usually have a list of cheap dvds on special offer in an area called cheap dvds. postage and packing is free. i ordered x-men the movie which was £12.99 in the cheap section. i placed the order only on saturday so ill probably get it within the next week.

http://www.ringos.co.uk also offer offers (doesn`t look right, doesn`t it?). Tenner each (depends on whether they have the title in stock), they charge £1 delivery, but if you order more than 3 discs, it`s free delivery. Although you may detest phoning, especially only between 11-5 on weekdays. The CS is good, and best of all, order before 3 (I think that`s right), they`ll put effort into making it next day delivery. Critereons are cheap (that`s my opinion) for a operation working in the UK.

i would recommend www.teejaysdvds.co.uk.
There prices are good and there customer service is excellent, only problem is that you pay by cheque as they don`t currently accept credit cards.

I use www.play247.com all the time - they have good service, and I always get pre-releases on or 1 day after they are supposed to come out.

I pre-ordered MI: 2 from them and it arrived almost 1 month (!) before it was supposed to be out, which was a surprise to say the least.

I definately recommend them - I have bought 10 DVDs off them now (mostly Hong Kong Legends titles) without any hassles at all.

Although I have found play247 to be very good just one word of warning. In the past I have found that some R1 discs have been different than what I have expected. Rather than being the North American version they seem to have slightly different ones (possibly Canadian). One disc I ordered had a French cover (possibly for the French Canadians) and was missing the extras features found on the North American version. BTW it was not a R2 disc, I double checked.

Unfortunately they were a bit funny about taking it back saying that they only mention R1 discs (not specifically North American). I spoke to a very impolite woman on the phone first time round who simply refused to take it back. However, after contacting them again via email, obviously someone else, they were happy to take it back for a full refund including my return delivery cost! I have to say that was unexpected but very welcome.

Maybe someone was just having a bad day when I called.
