The Bottom Line
I would always recommend using buy.com. It is usually my first stop on the internet when shopping for DVD's, TV's, computer equipment, CD's, and various electronics.

I'll make this pretty quick and just touch on all the points I feel are relevant to form an opinion, or dare i say e-pinion, about buy.com. The main concerns of those buying online should be: cost, selection, customer service, shipping times and costs (not necessarily in this order).
Cost: I find buy.com to be extremely competitive in the cost category, and many times if you look carefully enough you will find some great deals.
Selection: Buy.com has a large number of categories of goods and many of these categories have a fairly good selection. The selection cannot compare to specialty sites selling one type of good, but for a "super-store on the Internet" the selection is very good.
Customer Service: hmmmm, well....... ok, buy.com is not exactly great at customer support and I don't think this was one of their main priorities otherwise their costs would be higher. Anyway, customer service is slow and many times you will never get a reply, if you think customer service is important, don't bother with buy.com. Of course if you think customer service is important don't bother with the Internet.
Shipping time and cost: Shipping costs are fairly standard, i haven't really noticed any prices out of the ordinary. Shipping time is excellent, whenever they say it will be shipped out it happens. I have never recieved a product from them late, in fact most of the time it seems to arrive earlier than expected.
There's a synopsis of what I feel are the most important considerations when buying online, hope they helped. Oh yeah and I almost forgot, it's very easy to navigate and has a great, intuitive set-up.
