Where do you buy online from in Britain?

I figured it might be useful to share our experiences of what good sites there are to get MTG stuff from to help each other get the best price and such.
Currently I use Chaos Cards and Magic Madhouse. Chaos generally has the better price (although not always) but it doesn't have the best selection, whereas Madhouse almost always has what I want available. They also both do pretty good sales every now and then and I haven't had any trouble with them at all (which does mean I've never had to deal with their customer support so I can't comment on the quality of that). I've also found that Ebay can also sometimes be the cheapest place for higher value stuff.
So, has anyone else got any other suggestions to check out?
magiccardmarket. Cheaper even than the US sometimes. Like, I pick up playsets of shocklands for under 25, including postage. If you were to buy them from most US sites you'd pay more, without including shipping. Also you don't really want to go for the US because sometimes you'll get charged customs and imports tax if you make a large order - however if you buy from Europe you won't be taxed. I ordered a complete playset of every card from RTR from the US and I got charged 50 by customs.

Ebay, magicsingles.co.uk, chaos cards.
Chaos cards for boxes, deck boxes, other accessories, and the occasional card.
magicsingles to buy bulk singles
ebay if there's one going cheap.

You guys really need to start using magiccardmarket. Seriously, you'll save tons of money, even on booster boxes.

I find that the best option is often just to ship from the USA, especially when buying in bulk. Everything is so much cheaper over there. There's normally $3-7 shipping, depending on the retailer, but that is generally less than you'll save on card prices. I've used TCG player a couple of times.
