I'm from Europe - and IST is the best source for me . Packeging is buletproof and prices are nice. Of course shipping could be cheaper - but it is not so bad after all.
Cheap-comics' normal prices (so without discount) are usually about 66% of the retail price in euro's (so a $50 book would be about €32.50) which isn't that low but the shipping's very good and they offer very nice discounts like €30 for X-Statix omni and €10 for Daredevil by Brubaker complete collection vol 1.

Cheap-comics has great packaging, my main shop and I never received anything damaged.
It's not IST/CGN cheap... but for Europe it's great I think.
But if you order on European amazons shipping is cheap.. and if I order from the German one it's actually free.
So actually quite the difference.
for some omnis and glitch-priced stuff i have started to use amazon.com (being from germany). i haven't received anything yet (alias is on it's way), so i'll have to see if the condition will be ok, but it sometimes is definetely cheaper to buy the same product from .com.
i also ordered a lot of trades through amazon.de from marketplace shop "books_any_usa" or "books_any" on amazon.co.uk. it takes a while for the stuff to arrive, but the packaging was always very good, never had any problems with custom taxes (they tend to declare a lesser value on the packages), so i can really recommend them.
