Your most useful websites
Hi chaps,
I do an awful lot of my shopping UK-Side online. However, one thing which has suddenly occurred to me is that when we are in the states, I won't be able to use my fave ones, can anyone give me equivilents: I use... play.com (cheap cds dvds, books - free delivery) Argos.co.uk (furniture/household etc..) Multimap.co.uk (for directions, local/area maps) B&Q - diy.co.uk (DIY stuff) Boots.com (smellies/shampooo etc..) seetickets.co.uk (concert tickets/news) BBC.co.uk (news) I also need a good one for pet products (food etc..) Obviously ebay and amazon, I'll just use the US versions. Can anyone help with their faves? Ta :thumbup: |

Is Amazon fairly well priced then? Over here its not one of the cheapest - good selection, but they sting you big time on postage - others do cheap prices and free delivery. Generally Supermarkets are better for best seller books here, they are around half the RRP.

For books, amazon ain't bad, nor that ebay halfway something or other... |

There's no British sites that I shop online at these days but here's websites I've shopped at numerous times:
www.petco.com for ratty stuff, esp. litter. www.overstock.com Good for gifts and surprisingly, cheaper for books than Amazon www.artbeads.com self explanatory http://www.kimsarkrescue.org/ Ratty vitamins supplements and banana Nylabones http://www.sunnylandfarms.com/ the best for nuts, yet morenuts and dried fruit NC Penguin |
