Rakuten also bought Play.com, the UK store selling video games, DVDs and music. Whilst Rakuten is now pushed pretty heavily on the site, the URL is still Play.com and the Play.com branding remains.
Curious as to why they wouldn't/aren't do(ing) the same for Buy.com?
- makomk 14y agoTechnically, play.com isn't actually a UK store - they're based in Jersey which isn't part of the UK and isn't subject to UK or EU consumer protection laws.
- iamben 14y agoSure, it is based in Jersey - but for as long as I can remember (10+ years?) the site has been aimed at UK shoppers.
- stickydink 14y agoIt's definitely aimed at the UK, but what they also offer free shipping to almost anywhere in Western Europe.
