With the introduction of the web we have been introduced to online shopping ... and by all accounts the experience gets worse and worse as time goes on! These days you can't tell the well-established, reputable online stores from the 15 year old reselling from his bedroom. So, here is a list of top high street, and other long-established retailers, whose names you should all already know and have huge online shopping ranges - you may still not get the 100% service you are looking for but at least they have someone on the end of the telephone you can yell at if things go wrong:

Gamestation: If you're a dedicated gamer, this website obviously worth a look. In fact, the company reckons it's the UK's fastest growing retailer of video and computer games.

HiFiBitz: The site www.hifibitz.co.uk is so called because it supplies bits (or bitz if you're looking to be trendy) for hi-fi systems. And they do like their Zs - there's a 'Best BitZ' section with articles and other items of... HiFiBitz Reviews >>
