Fairly decent selection of the older DVDs but cheap for those building up a collection

They have no contact details whatsever listed, just a web based e-mail form to contact them.

No matter how cheap, if you don`t know who they are, then I`d stay away.

Oh dear, the OP might take that personally. ;)


Yay and God said to Abraham, "you will kill your son, Issak", and Abraham said, I can`t hear you, you`ll have to speak into the microphone." "Oh I`m sorry, Is this better? Check, check, check... Jerry, pull the high end out, I`m still getting some hiss back here."

Not at all convinced by this site. If they are using PayPal to process credit cards, then it means they are too small for a merchant bank to want to do business with them, because nobody would choose to use PayPal because their fees are relatively high.

I also noticed that if you hover over the PayPal logo on the site, you will see the following appear: naillig.htimsDRAC_NOITAMROFNI_XOB[at]moc.dlrowltn, which isn`t too professional!

It also seems odd that they say you should contact them if you want a delivery method other than 1st class. Wouldn`t it be better to have this as an option at checkout?

Also, a commercial site with banner ads? Why would you want to promote other websites? Isn`t the whole point that you want people to stay on your site so you can sell them something?

I think we`re in two guys in a shed territory here!

And perhaps even more worrying is that the domain owner has elected not to disclose any details.....

Very suspicious

And no chance of come back if it goes under!

Paypal won`t want to know......

buy at your own risk - it will all be OK until it goes wrong!

(remember DVDSoon - or DVDnever unless you want to pay C&E)

Yup, and surprisingly the website has only been registered since 16 June 2005, so not a very long trading history either. Sorry OP. Mods, where are you when we need you?

Looks like they only take payments from Paypal. I always avoid these companies as Paypal only let you use you credit card a certain amount of times before they block it which is very silly.
