Haha. You're gonna regret you asked. :) Well... the Boomkat purchase was pretty anomolous, just piggybacking my order with my flatmate and her boyfriend, and I doubt I'll use them much in future. They are way overpriced, for shipping and for the initial cost. Plus it just pisses me off when stores list their prices pre-VAT. But as you know, I think Piccadilly is the dog's nuts. Their prices are always reasonable if not outstanding, the shipping discounts I mentioned yesterday totally hooks me up when I tend to do a huge monthly order, the service is amazing and they seem like genuinely nice folk, which is a pretty rare thing in record stores. Plus someone's gotta pay Danny's wage. ;) But as to why I don't use the London stores much, firstly it's a matter of availability. Things go before I can count on getting them, and Piccadilly stocks 90% of what I want. Second, their site/emails couldn't be easier to use. Third, I have this mentality of supporting one store first and foremost, where they can count on my business and I can count on them hooking me up. And last but not least, I don't trust myself in record stores any farther than I can throw myself (and I'm a wuss). Online shopping = damage control for me.
