I am also from Germany and I previously ordered from both cdon.com and www.cdwow.de.

cdwow.de offers more payment options and often is cheaper (usually you can even find discount links making the CDs 1 or 2 Euro cheaper than the prices given on the homepage of cdwow). cdwow ships from Honkong and send each item separately what avoids the payment of additional taxes. Shipment is already included in the price. I never had problems with an order. You usually get the items very fast. The items I got until know where the EU versions.

cdon.com sends from Sweden. They are also very reliable. A credit card is required to order there. Shipment time is good too. The selection is much better than the one at cdwow.de. Here you can get old CDs and Maxi-CDs while at cdwow you usually can only get the most current CD releases. Unfortunately I twice had a problem with paper sleeves that have been damaged during transport (due to a packaging that is not the best for such items). The customer service however was very helpful. They even sent me a back envelope to return the items without costs for the stamps.

This time I ordered the SOAP-Single at cdwow (already arrived) together with some other items. The SOAP album I preordered at cdwow (for just 11.99 Euro including shipping with a discount code).

No idea. A credit card helps about 100% in this case.
