Advice With Splash DVD Wrong Order & Region Sent

Hi all

As a newbie to this site I am looking for advice with a problem I have with splashdvd. This is only the second time I have ordered dvds of the net so I am not sure if my complaint is justified or not? am I being to impatient. I ordered a box set/collection Tales From Europe Region 2 consisting of four fairy tales (these are for my daughters christmas) according to their description on their website from splashdvd after finding a £2.00 money off voucher in my email from them. I placed the order on the 13th Oct, I received the dvds on the 3rd Nov, this seemed to take a long time, is this normal? anyway the box set/collection which arrived did not match their description on their web site, what arrived was 2 discs, The Singing Ringing Tree & The Tinderbox and it is in region 0 ,not the four tales as mentioned or it being region 2. I emailed them straight away on the 3rd Nov thinking that they may have got orders mixed up but I have not had a reply as yet. Am I being to impatient?, should I email them again? and what can I do seeing that what they sent me does not match their description of it. Thanks. :o(

Okay! This is a Toughie!!! Where can I buy a Mico Clasica 20 DVD player online?

As I live in the far flung reaches of the north of Scotland and my nearest Sainsburys is a few hundred miles away , where on earth (preferably in the UK) can I buy a Mico Clasica 20 DVD player online?. Cheers, Peat :o)

RE: Any tips for someone ripped off on an online auction?

You could try contacting the trading standards office for the area that the person you payed lives assuming you have his correct address and also if you have his bank account details and his bank address , try writing to his bank manager explaining the situation and that you are taking further action against this person for fraud . This may result with the seller getting the "frighteneers" when he finds out and maybe refunding you. Good Luck !!!! :o)

Hi Patrick

Brotherhood of the Wolf DVD is available from the french site www.cinestore.com, BUT with no english subtitles , now that is what I call typical french attitude!!!, you would think with the hit that it has been that they would have seriously thought about foreign subtitles which would have made it a better selling dvd. A few sellers from the states are selling the limited edition 3 disc version on Ebay, I did notice someone from Ireland selling a copy as well, so you could try there if you are desperate. I for one look forward to the subtitled version when its available.
