have just been looking at MDT's web site and they have a special offer on Hyperion SACD's, normally £17.99 on Amazon but £14.25 at MDT till end september.
There's also a special offer on BIS @ 9.50 but it only seems to cover 1 SACD. Postage is very reasonable (50p a disc within the U.K.) england and very competitive international rates.
MDT are also permanently selling Linn SACDS at £11.50 and Channel Classics at 12.50, which in both cases is 0.50p cheaper than either producer or than Amazon.uk (and works out at about $US17.00).
I'm impressed, depite the fact that I'm also selfishly irritated at having just just sent $US20 off to the States for the Praga recording of the Bartok sonatas which zeus recommended, only to find that MDT sell Praga SACD's at £11.50 (also on a permanent basis) so it would have been cheaper to buy it "at home" (as it were).
Anyway, this has now been made a favourites page and I'm sure will bear frequent returns as specials change.

Even cheaper without VAT! Note that not all their SACDs appear in the SACD database. You'll find more if you enter "super audio" in the Quick Search box. Some SACDs (eg. the latest from Linn) aren't marked as SACDs at all so you have to search for these by composer/artist. Lastly, if you're aware of a title that isn't listed but they do sell others from that label, send them an email and they'll get it for you. For classical, and especially European labels, MDT can't be beat. Here's the URL:

I haven't been hit yet. If you keep it to say half a dozen discs, they don't seem to bother.
