Play.com is the home of excellent value for computer games, DVDs, CDs and other electronic equipment. All of the the trading is done through it's website, which is constantly updated on a daily basis and sells over 8 million items. There really is something for everyone of all ages. Being based in Jersey enables play.com not pay VAT for items under £18, therefore items are much cheaper than on the high street.

Setting up an account is easy. By simply clicking, my account, this then takes the user to a page where they can either log in or register. Resistration takes no longer than 2 minutes. Once registered your off on the value for money shop of your life. The user has an option of storing their credit card details within their account, which is adviseable because it saves you time when at the check out stage. It means you can pay for the items in your basket, without having to type in your card details every time.

Once you have paid for your items, and been through the checkout stage, you receive an email to say that your order is being processed. Once processed you receive an email to let you know your order has been processed and when it will be delivered. Delivery is usually within 3-5 working days. Whenever I have used them it has always been delivered within 3 days working days. The only downside is that amazon.co.uk offers the customer next day delivery, but never the less the money you save rather than shopping on the high street is quite abit.

For CD's, games and DVD's they are well packaged, either in a padded envelope or a cardboard sleeve, enclosed with an invoice of your items that you have been charged for. The invoice has a list of the most popular items that play.com have sold within the last few weeks, or a list of items that are coming soon . Overall the service is very reliable and the items are well packaged. Clothes and other items are packaged within a parcel. Larger items, such as TV's are delivered by courier and require a signature.
