No. I'm sorry to say they do not have a web-site or email. It seems many of
these good mail order companies in Great Britain, like Europadisc in
Sudbury (the best!) and Tandy's in Birmingham (very good too) are a bit old
fashioned when it comes to these technologies, but since they do such a
great job and charge so little - sometimes just 40% of the retail price
here in Sweden - it doesn't matter so much. Use the phone or a fax.

It's really absurd, isn't it, that if I want to buy a Swedish classical cd,
I get it much cheaper from Great Britain by air mail, than if I go to the
local record store here in Sweden!!!

A suggestion also: Read the good old Gramophone magazine. They carry a lot
of advertisments from these mail order companies, with sometimes hysterical
bargains. The first Glenn Gould box in the Edition, with 17 cd's, was about
$150 when I wanted to buy it last spring from England! In Sweden the same
set is $350!

You might want the postal address of Europadisc too:
