I just purchased 2 travel cards on-loine from London tube website www.tickets-on-line.com. Used cc printed page and was e-mailed also. Tickets will be mailed 30 days prior to our trip.

I would never buy a paper Travelcard, nor recommend one to anyone else. Mainly because they don't provide Oyster Fares for extensions.
You can even buy (at a slight premium) an Oyster online here:

sherm99: tickets-on-line is definitely not the "London tube website". It is a US-based ticket broker for all sorts of events/games. How much did you pay?? Likely more than the same thing would cost in London.

oyster card - any day. u just swipe it while entering the platform & load it up (either through the loading machine or at the counter) when the balance dips. just be careful to zip it on ur way out of the platform too - if not the fare calculated is the max.
i think it comes cheaper, too.
i love travelling in london underground (though too many lines) - just get urself an underground map (available free in the tube stations) & in a day or two, u ll get the hang of it.
and i ve still treasured my oyster card - i ve been told that i can use the same card the next time i m around, just need to fill up the balance.
cant wait to go back
