If this isn't allowed by the rules, then Mods should feel free to remove this topic.
The point of this topic is to give good shoutouts to the vendors you have had good experience with.
Your post should include: A link to their website, with a relevant reason why you like the vendor and how they treated you right.
Please do NOT post: Rundowns of vendors, vendors that treated you poorly or ripped you off. This topic would quickly grow unmanageable!
I'll start: A ebay shop by the name of MacPac has always treated me right. Just today I received an order that I had just put in on the 5th of this month! They offer free shipping on most of their products, and they don't just roll that cost into the cost of the product. Their "Buy-it-now" price is usually below the MSRP value of the item, or matches it. The service is great, and they answer any of your questions promptly. MacPac has been a huge help in saving me money when I put the finishing touches on my current army.
Check them out at http://stores.ebay.com/id=407523937 .

If you want around 75 dollars or more worth of stuff, use ScifiGenre at: http://www.scifigenre.com/. They give free shipping if you buy $75 worth of stuff and they're fifteen percent off GW prices. They're reliable too.

People are like dice, a certain Frenchman said that. You throw yourself in the direction of your own choosing. People are free because they can do that. Everyone's circumstances are different, but no matter how small the choice, at the very least, you can throw yourself. It's not chance or fate. It's the choice you made. |

Now, now, CE.
Now you're just taking the piss.
I mainly use a local online dealer ( www.scrapdragon.com.au).
I get 25% off GW (retail), although freight isn't free, I'm close enough that overnight is fast enough for me, and even with freight, I'm still saving close to 20%.
There are some OS dealers that may offer free int'l shipping, but I really CBA ordering from that far (and besides, SD have assisted my games club, so it's kinda a "I scratch your back" thing.

Yeah, so, as we've said in the past, the place we order from is Maelstrom Games UK. Constantly discounts, periodic sales, and free worldwide shipping. Honestly, I don't know why you'd shop anywhere else.

This is the kind of reccomendation I like to see. To my mind, the measure of a company is in how it deals with cock ups. Mind you, yet to here a bad word about Maelstrom Games, so all is good there as well  Also, as an addendum, can anyone reccomend a good purveyor of White Wolf products. I used to use www.gameslore.co. uk but have had a couple of long waits for my goods, and their prices have gone up (which I suspect is more exchange rate than them doing it through choice). I'm three to four books behind on the generic World of Darkness, and my previous B&M supplier, aggravatingly, no longer stocks them :(. Looking specifcally for Slasher, Armoury Reloaded, and the ones about to come out later in the year.

Oh, Death was never enemy of ours!
We laughed at him, we leagued with him, old chum.
No soldier's paid to kick against His powers.
We laughed - knowing that better men would come,
And greater wars: when each proud fighter brags
He wars on Death, for lives; not men, for flags. |

The only online orders I do are for random bitz. I've used the warstore and bitkingdom and apocabitz now, all have had good service and I have no complaints.
The vendor that really gets my money is Showcase Comics. I live about an hour away now but I'd still rather go there than find someplace closer. Mike always has what I need and if not it's promptly ordered, they run good events and my family & friends are all around there so it's easy enough to just stop in for some supplies while I visit.

I've made a few orders with www.superherogameland.com and I recommend them.
While their site can be confusing sometimes, they offer free shipping on orders over $125 which makes them cheaper than most other USA webstores.

Seems to be popular, but the war store. Had a small hang up at first, as they forgot to ship an item, but their customer service really came through for me. Restores a little faith in internet vendors.

For UK stuff, I use Maelstrom, WaylandGames and eBay.
For all out cheapness I use Philoverkill aka Robinson's Gaming Supplies. Free shipping, 15% off RRP. Quick and efficient, and includes freebies!
Secondly I use digby1956 aka Wizard's Workshop. He ships stuff out of box for cheapage, plus he ships indivual sprues, so if you only want one sheet of dire avengers, not a problem!
