| After a few fruitless visits to the local HMV/record shops (such as they are these days), I'm frustrated as to where to buy actual cd's for decent bands. The only alternative I can think of is Amazon, but I find them exploitative and often quite expensive. As someone living in the UK, does anyone know of any local (ie not international) outlets for prog to order from? Thanks. |

I normally find Dodax pretty cheap. I believe they are a German company but ship from the UK as well. They sell on Amazon too but you can normally save a bit more if you buy direct from their website. Only downside is that they are slow on delivery - usually 2 - 3 weeks. https://www.dodax.co.uk/shop/index.xhtml" rel="nofollow - https://www.dodax.co.uk/shop/index.xhtml

I generally use the following for prog stuff: http://www.caerllysimusic.co.uk - based in Wales http://www.progrock.co.uk - based in Leicestershire I've never had any problems buying from these two sources and there prices are reasonable. ------------- http://dragonfantasyart.blogspot.co.uk/" rel="nofollow - Dragon Flight Fantasy Art - my feeble attempts at painting |

| Thanks, the latter link seems pretty comprehensive. What kind of turnaround time? |

As chopper says, Will is a proghead and prides himself on good service. The folks at progrock.co.uk also give good service and communication is good. Both of them will general have your order delivered within a week. As I say, their communication is good and they are both happy to address any questions you have. ------------- http://dragonfantasyart.blogspot.co.uk/" rel="nofollow - Dragon Flight Fantasy Art - my feeble attempts at painting |

Hello to everyone. I am facing problems with progrock.co.uk website I have made an order 3 weeks ago, they have confirmed the order but then they seem to be disappeared. It is the first time I have problems with them, but I am worried because I don't receive any reply to my messages. Can someone of you help me? Do you know if progrock.co.uk has troubles? Thank you Greetings from Italy |

| ^ Wayside is great but the OP was looking for UK-based sellers. Shipping from the US to the UK is really expensive now, so personally I only order from Steve or other US sellers if I can save up a big order to spread the cost. Which is a damn shame. |
