Where do you order RPGs online?

Amazon, primarily, for the larger publishers. Good prices and free shipping. For the smaller publishers, I try to patronize them directly. I've also used RPGShop, RPGNow till they merged, and YourGamesNow. When I was re-acquiring some of the stuff I'd foolishly gotten rid of when I was out of gaming, I used eBay, but almost never since.
 


If its more than a year old, I'll try eBay first. There isn't likely to be anything cheaper, even through EN World or RPGNow. If it's newer, I'll try to get it on PDF first, so I'd go to EN World or RPGNow, in that order (some items for whatever reason aren't on EN World's game store, so I have to go to the main site).

I buy all of my print products, if I can, at a FLGS, as we have 3-4 of them where I live.

Oh yeah, I've bought back issues of Dungeon from Paizo.com.
 


I've used Lulu for POD stuff, Titan, Sentrybox, and Noble Knight for used (and I use Titan for new stuff, as I sold them a bunch of books and have credit there), and the rest, I try to order directly from the publisher.
 

Paizo, RPGNow, Amazon, eBay. That's about it. I use my FLGS and FLbnvLGS (that would be Friendly Large but-not-so-Local Game Store - Sentry Box) more often than not.
 

I use Amazon and EBay extensively. I've also ordered multiple times from Paizo, FRPGames, GameOutfitter.com (for D&D minis), RPGNow and Smith & Robards (the last two mainly for digital products), and had good experiences with all. I've also shopped at a number of places once (recently including Hill City Comics, Spell Me, Troll Lord Games, Titan Games, Books and More, House of Tam)


I haven't had too many bad experiences, although I tried rpgshop.com once, and will never use them again.
 

For print stuff, the WotC stuff is from Amazon.de because of free shipping to Switzerland if you buy for EUR 20. Lesser known stuff comes from the German Imp's Shop; shipping to Switzerland is cheap (EUR 3 for a typical soft cover) or free. I've bought the Drow War trilogy directly from Mongoose because of a sale. Yesterday I ordered some stuff from Goodman Games because of a sale. I am subscribed to Dungeon, Game Mastery, and Pathfinder by Paizo.

I've bought all my PDF from RPG Now but decided to bookmark Your Games Now and Noble Knight Games based on the positive feedback I heard on EN World.
