    1.) Bestbuy.com, Amazon.com, Hottopic.com; all three sites are very reliable and fast with shipments. I purchase from these sites frequently and never have had a single problem.

    2.) Best site to buy books is Amazon.com

    3.) I buy DVDs (bestbuy.com), CDs (bestbuy.com), books (amazon.com) and clothes (hottopic.com).

    If you ever buy something online.. make sure they have an address and phone number. That way they should definitely be legit, and if you had a problem, you can call them and know where they are.

    I buy stuff off amazon, best buy, circuit city.. they've always been really good to me. Amazon is a very good place to buy books.

    Oh yeah, you should always check Play.com every few days or so, since they tend to have those '3 for £10' deals on DVD's which is great, plus the DVD's that are on offer are excellent too.

    Just last night I bought 'The Bourne Ultimatum', 'Jarhead', 'The Thing' and 'Lucky number slevin' for £15.96.

    Same. Although I'm not usually one for buying stuff via the internet, if I do it's usually from those sites. Maybe more specific ones for things that are harder to find.

    For computer stuff in the US, if you don't use newegg.com, you fail at life. And Amazon for everything else.

    Seriously...Amazon and NewEgg. That's about all you ever need for your interwebs shopping.

    Also make sure the site is secure. You can tell this by the "lock" symbol at the bottom of your browser when you are on that site. Sometimes there are icons for security but anyone can cut and paste those so they arent the most reliable.

    Wow, Urban Outfitters is expensive for shirts, but everything else (especially shoes) is cheap...

    Weird.
