Alldirect.com
 

They've been offline for a couple of weeks, does anyone know what's going on?

Chalk me up as another concerned AllDirect regular. It would make sense that they need a website upgrade, maybe even a new search engine... but seeing that they've been down for a couple of weeks worries me. Plus, when you type in alldirect.com now, you just get an empty site. No message even.

Sometimes they migrate all their business to half.com and amazon.com. Thats what alphacraze.com did.

So.... where are people buying their books without AllDirect? I'm really at a loss now... :(

best places for books is ebay, half, and amazon. Sometimes googling or froogling the isbn number you can find other stores that sell it.

Well, it's official...

For me, this is almost as sad as if DDD had gone out-of-business. For purchasing new books and CDs, it was extremely rare for anyone to beat their prices.

Agreed. I used to purchase almost all of my music from them. For a few years nobody could touch their prices. That is, until DeepDiscountCD and later yourmusic.com opened. Then I simply had to move on.

DDCD rarely beat Alldirect's prices on orders that qualified for free shipping...most of the time they weren't even close. Yourmusic.com is great, but their title selection is rather limited.

Aw, that's really sad. I only got to make one book purchase with them - that I was really happy about - and then they close.

If you guys need somewhere to buy books, check out alphacraze on yahoo shopping. It's a pain to navigate since they don't actually have their own website, but the deals make it worth it.

I held out hope for a simple site reconstruction. I agree with SkullOrchard. This hurts me like DDD going out of business. I bought almost all of my books there since you could purchase new almost as cheaply as used. And with music, they generally had everything I wanted for a dollar or so less than anywhere else. Yourmusic.com just doesn't have anything I want. I never had a problem with any of the dozen or so orders I made through Alldirect.

This makes me a sad panda.
