Found the above website which popped up when I was searching for a specific title.
It looks like an NZ retailer, advertises in nz $ with free shipping. Prices seem competitive.
On further investigation it seems wow HD is actually based off shore with a fairly convoluted ownership chain.
Anyone here dealt with them?

I used to use them when they were cdwow. And for a few years after they changed to wowhd, up until about 2013 when their prices skyrocketed and they started having problems with fulfilling orders. They were always very slow in delivery. Haven't used them since, as when I've checked, their prices were never competitive. Quick look and they don't seem to have much in stock that I want either. A google for reviews seems they're still slow

Similar to Citroen. Used them many years ago for a few things but slow and more expensive generally. I'd have to be really desperate to use them again.

My experience: As CDWow, they were fine, especially having really great sales. As WoWHD, I use them regularly. I find their prices and stock OK. I have picked up a number of ECM releases, unavailable easily elsewhere. Agree delivery times can be slow. Unsure if that's USA end or NZ end. Their customer service is fast and responsive, emails answered almost instantly. e.g. one shipment (2 x cds) was over the 45 days delivery target and on enquiry they immediately shipped them again. The second shipment arrived within a week, then the original shipment arrived a day or two later - obviously been (re)circulating in NZ. WoWHD advised keep both shipments. A mate has these discs now. Their packaging is very robust, particularly for vinyl. I reckon WoWHD are under the same ownership/marketing umbrella as ImportsCD? - I've often compared stock, descriptions etc and they've been identical. (ImportsCD are competitive & reliable too)

(ImportsCD are competitive & reliable too) Maybe. DeepDiscount, and ccmusic might also be related to Importcds. I've usually found ccmusic to be the best price, especially as they often have 15 to 20% off promo coupons.
