I'm going to make a rather large purchase in the near future and I'm curious what everyones favorite online retailer for 40k is.

I've only dealt with ebay in the past and I'm just a bit tired of all the effort it takes to save a bit of cash.

So who does everyone prefer? I'm hoping to save roughly 25% with free shipping (especially if it's from overseas).

I like to order from Miniature Market. They are based in MO so its pretty fast both ways as it is in the mid west. When you first give your information you have to make sure they got it right. After that its great. I have ordered from them a lot and only once did they send me the wrong thing. They are very friendly and give you a 25% discount off of GW and free shipping with an order of $99 or more.

I use www.dicebucket.com 20%+ off and they have a shopping cart system.

Ebay.

+ 1 for dicebucket , good deals plus extra savings if you buy just sprues.

The Warstore rules; great prices, great selection, and great guys all around. I've met them a few times at Historicons and swapped war stories. If it weren't for my FLGS I'd buy almost everything from them. eBay can be great as well, but you've got to look.

Top rated sellers on Ebay. The ones with 99% approval ratings with a history of over 10000 sales. I haven't tried others though.

Amazon, actually.

Another one for The Warstore. Great prices, great service, and great speed (though I do live close to them).

+111111 for miniature market , they went above and beyond to help a Canadian customer.
The operator was willing to pass extra discount to me even though it originally applies to US only.
Then the warehouse worker even phoned me, asked how would I like my items boxed,
then they manually reboxed everything to save me shipping cost.

THEY ARE SO NICE!!!!

eBay

Maelstrom Games are very good if you live in an area where they can serve you, as are Wayland Games.

Warstore for bits, GW home site for kits.

Others might be cheaper, but I feel safer buying directly from Games Workshop or the FLGS (But since my FLGS has nothing in the way of daemons or tau, mostly GW)

Hoard o bits. Never had a problem with them.

Miniature Market is awesome. 25 percent off and then free shipping for anything over 100 dollars? Yes please.
