I bought the Melos Icon box for a similar price (just over £18) from an Play.com merchant earlier this year: it is incredible value and the standard of performacne if uniformly excellent!

Anyone living within striking distance of Bracknell is recommended to visit the Sebastian's Action Trust charity shop at 5 Crossway. They have recently been donated a rather significant number of interesting CDs, many of them classical in genre. I have just spent £34 in there at their 3 for £2 rate. However, there are still many that remain that would be of particular interest to those attracted to the outer fringes of especially British and Irish music of the past two centuries. Many are the CDs I passed over due to the sole fact that I already had them, though I did get a spare 3 disc set of Maconchy String Quartets, which I insisted on paying the £2 for despite their wanting to give it to me as a bonus item. I'm sure I can find a deserving person to give them to.
Oh, and many of the CDs are brand new Naxos and Marco Polo issues still in their plastic film wrappers.

I've already asked this but response came there none.
Do Sainsbury's deliver abroad? I've searched their FAQ but found nothing pertaining to deliveries.
