do u guys here buy CD online? can someone share with which website is good? was wondering if some CD not available locally can purchased online? pls share..thanks

buying from amazon kinda okay..but the delivery is costly

You can also contact Davis, he has "lubang" to bring in rare audiophile CDs

The music shops in Malaysia is in my mind the WORST!..compilation after complilation and 99% I can't find what I want..so its either used or from abroard...can't help it lah.. the record companies are probably manned by goons and idiots..
I buy from Amazon UK and USA or Ebay at last resort.

yea, amazon

Another vote for Amazon. Yes the shipping is expensive, even so I chose the most expensive/fastest shipping and it really satisfies me. Arrive within 2-3 days. Other thing I like when buying online is no more ORI stickers on the bloody jewel case or album art

shipping expensive is how expensive?

Read here:

there are 2 costs, per-shipment and per-item, which one leh?

i buy online at yesasia and cdjapan.

the currency is based on US dollar or what?

Why don't you read the whole thing? Why do people nowadays too lazy to read?
This is how it calculates:
(Highest Applicable Per-Shipment Cost) + (Number of Items x Per-Item Cost) = Total Shipping Fee

I vote for YesAsia, i prefer to Japan Music, and i can see the website seem has a lot i can get....i always brought the cd there if the title not available in malaysia retail shop

haha..sry sry my bad..the payment method using credit card? if i dont have credit card can buy online?

nowdays almost of the online shop using credit card/paypal.

then no other choice? money order?

Factually, many are "tolerating" useless Bolehland already with very poor financial conveniences that severely limits personal imports. Money order only available to certain countries but not to USA..if not mistaken..and other methods will incur rediculous bank charges that'll make you puke. There's also Western Union but its utterly expensive when you figure out the maths.
Best to have a credit card..as for risks.. you're entirely on your own. Without a credit card...forget online purchases..till you can afford and qualify to have one.

Amazon is my usual choice for uncommon stuff (at least uncommon in Malaysia).Just beware of our beloved kastam because they love seeing Amazon boxes coming their way.

There is a hottest debit card in town, check out www.tunemoney.com.There are several taiwan based online cd shop but usually quite pricey in shipping/handling and u must beware of the pressing country too. ,I already bored with this hobby. Recent visit to Taipei last month, i did not pay much visits to any of their famous cd shops/hifi shops. But no doubt, they have stocks you cant imagine a Chinese speaking country can have. You would not want to visit Tower and Rock Corner to see. Anyway, no one respect music here. Like my col said "Download free, if do not like, erase it".

Buying online is safer than using your card at a store.
