Re: What's the best replacement for AllDirect.com?



I've been buying from buy.com for some years, and have had little to
complain about. (Their Tier 2 customer service people are unsurpassed.)
Their prices on books are about the lowest, and on CDs competitive (with
respect to brick and mortar). For most books or CDs, an order of $25 gets
you free ground shipping.

They have plenty of classical titles (1500+ under "Beethoven", 1800+ under
"Mozart"), but whether they have the ones you want is another matter.
