I was searching on the web to find a site that sells blank media and came across svp.co.uk. I browsed their "catalogue" and seen that they had very cheap things so I decided to buy from them what I needed.
Svp.co.uk is an online shop where you can find from blank CD/DVD media & computer accessories, to ink and gadgets.
In order to buy you must be registered! That's very simple to do.
Navigation ************** It's easy and simple to navigate on the page as the environment is user friendly. There are only a few and important menus so the users don't get confused.
Here is a list with the available category on SVP web site. **************************************************************

Well I will explain for some product that I mostly buy from here. ********************************************************************* They have a really great variety of blank DVD and CD media.
They have 80 Minute CDR, 90-99 Minute CDR, Audio Only CDR, CDRW (Re-recordable), Lightscribe CDR . Each one of this category has other option for printable CD or non printable. They have a variety of CD tubs. They have 100, 50, 10 with some photos printed on them or with black bottom.
As for DVD collection they have much bigger variety than CDs. They sell DVD+R Non-printable, DVD+R Printable, DVD+RW (Rewritable), DVD-R Non-printable, DVD-R Printable, DVD-RAM, DVD-RW (Rewriteable), Double Layer, Labelflash DVDR, Lightscribe DVDR, Small (8cm) DVDR Discs. As you can see you have a really great option to select your DVD just don't get confused!
You can guess from the list that they have everything you may want for DVD or CD. The variety gives everyone the option to find what he/she wants.
I already mention the CD and DVD collection now let's tell you something about INKS.
There are inks for the most popular companies. Canon, Epson and HP. Under each page you can find original inks or some compatible inks. I buy some compatible inks for my Epson R200 and I can tell you that I am really happy with the quality of the prints. They are quite cheep I bet the cheapest I found around. There are also some refilling kits which is more some kind of DIY ink refilling. I tried those couple times it's not a big deal. It's quite easy to refill an ink but there is just a small problem, you can split ink on your hands if you are not careful.
Under the same section you can find some paper, specifically A4 size which is the most common size for paper. There are also some disc and case labelling where you can find paper that you can print on them and stick them on your CD/DVD or in some cases.
There are some products for you office such as laminator, Twin Lever/Roller Cutter Guillotine as well as a Binder. There are also Laminating Pouches in order to use them with you laminator machine.
I know I just mention 2 categories but basically I am using them most. You can find more under the other categories. You can find printers, USB hubs, keyboards, webcams and almost everything you may want to use with your computer.
I bought…(in general, coz ive mentioned before a few things) ********** I bought from SVP many times because they have many reasonable prices and I have been using the site since last year when I came to study at university and can't afford spending too much. I've been buying blank media, cd cases and inks basically.
Support ********** If you need any help just pop in this section and probably you will get your answer through the questions and also submit your question and they will get back to you with an answer. You can even get instant answers using the online helpdesk.
Safety & Security ******************* Didn't have any problems at all! You can trust SVP, because I do trust them over the last almost 2 years.
Payment Methods ********************* Paypal NochEx Delta Visa Electron Maestro Solo
Delivery ********** What about the delivery? In my experience I have always selected the cheapest way for my order to be delivered and it only takes 1-2 days for it to arrive. I'm so impressed! And the packaging is very good and safe. Oh by the way, I forgot to say that the heaviest your products are the more expensive you will be charged on delivery.
To use or not to use? ************************ USE!!! Yep use it to save money and get fast your products. I highly recommend it.
