I thought this topic (including a few merged ones) would be a good idea to share some of our favourite online puzzle shops. We already have a topic for shops you can physically visit (Puzzle Stores of Repute), so don't include those here.
I'll update the above list as and when people recommend new links.
The first shop that I would highly recommend is Oy Sloyd Ab in Finland. I have ordered from them a whole load of times and they are nothing short of spectacular to deal with. Sabine (who deals with the online orders) really knows her stuff and has always been happy to answer my many many questions.
So definitely check them out if you haven't already.
Now who do you recommend?

Oh no! I can feel that this thread is going to cost me a fortune!
I have quite a lot of bookmarked puzzle stores in the uk and abroad. Here are a few of my favourites:
http://puzzleguru.com/shop.html - good for the professor puzzle range.
http://www.pentangle-puzzles.co.uk/ - good for wooden puzzles
http://www.faze3.co.uk/ - a good general selection - quite a few Hanayamas
Will add more when I get home - this is quite awkward on the iPhone!
