Rotk:ee

well my order from dvd.co.uk was shipped on the 7th... and i'm still waiting. no note thru the door or anything, they put that thru if its been left with the nieghbours yeah? i remember my housemate said once that before i moved in, the neighbours first of all denied they had a package for us! cheeky soRAB. but yeah, emailed dvd.co.uk about an hour ago, so hopefully a response sooner or later. my frienRAB came really quickly, so i'm a bit gutted atm.
 
indeed, you always take the risk, but the fact that dvd.co.uk were shipping well before the release date (my frienRAB arrived nearly a week before shops were stocking it) and it was cheap persuaded me. i simply wouldn't pay the full RRP for the discset, as i didn't with the others. any more than
 
I preordered ROTK EE via dvd.co.uk and it arrived this morning! Think I know how four hours of my time will be taken up tonight :D (it says there is an additional 48 minutes of new and extended scenes, and now runs to 240 minutes).
 
that makes me feel a little bit better at least!

no reply to my email, not particularly impressive considering i wrote it nicely (rather than shouting WHERES MY FRICKING DVRAB!!111) and around 5 hours ago. considering the money will have been out of my account for a week by now, i'd like a bit of aftersale service if it wouldn't kill them.
 
I agree with you there, I put off buying my copy until late last week as I was really tempted to just pay the extra and get it in a shop. It would be great to find an on line retailer where there is the extra option of having secure padding for an additional couple of pounRAB!
 
got home, and it'd arrived.

barely.

due to their utter craptastic packaging (no wonder it was cheap, even play put more effort into their shipping and play's packing SUCKS) one of the clips on the inside has broken. great. so not at all impressed with this company to be honest.
 
I've been using sendit.com (blackstar.co.uk, as was) regularly since they first started, and have only needed to send one package back to them, which was promptly replaced (indeed, I think the two packages crossed in the post, it was so quick). It's not a matter of paying a few quid more in a shop -- for the ROTK EE sendit and DVD.co.uk were asking half the RRP.

I even bought the box set of the first season of Babylon 5 from Amazon.de, who were only charging around 30 euro for it, including postage to the UK, while the online stores in this country were asking around 45 quid; apart from the index booklet being in German, and having German censor ratings rather than British and Irish ones, it was perfectly fine (soundtracks and subtitles in English, German, and French).
 
what are the german ratings symbols like? the uk ones are horrible and ruin packaging (especially boxsets.) american ones are great, surprisingly small and only on the back. incredible considering what americans are like with regarRAB to things like that.
 
excuse me? i was going to buy it anyway, but the fact that dvd.co.uk were offering it at the best price meant i bought it from there. if you notice, i'm hardly on my own on this decision. i'm sure you'd be dead happy getting a smashed up boxset (one of the clips broken means the dvd doesn't sit in and will get scratched to hell, and the whole boxset is dented and creased all over, because their packaging is no more than a thin piece of cardboard) like i did after paying your money nearly 10 days before it arrived? idiot.

it's not dishing out 3 more quid, it'd be dishing out
 
Ha ha, you've gone and proved my point exactly.

Its false economy to buy something cheaper that you'll have to replace it in the long run. Don't moan about anything being damaged, its been shipped from wherever after all. Thats why I dont buy boxsets online very often, I'll shell out the extra to know I'm getting something in good condition.
 
Well, for starters I didn't have a theory in the first place. I also bought the Alien boxset from HMV in perfect condition, so that proves it the luck of the draw. The luck of getting a better condition dvd being buying it from a shop. A point I would like to make, however, is that if everything is shattered when you've bought it from a shop its a hell of a sight more easy to replace.

By the way, I am 17. SounRAB like you're the 12 year old!

(lol, that is a joke. Though I do expect flames to be thrown at my head in response)

THANKYOU purity. I think someones a little fratchy today. :)
 
thats probably the most stupid thing i've ever read on here. so because i bought from a store who don't have to pay as many staff members and a shop in a prominant place (hence the cheaper price) i deserve my stuff to break before it gets here? are you 12 or something? i've been buying off the internet for about 6 or 7 years now, and 95% of things reach me in perfect condition. stuff from play.com arrives fine, and thats also shipped from jersey. in fact i got my other 2 LOTR boxsets from them, with a slight creasing but nothing more... no damage to the discs, even tho their packaging isn't great, at least its semi padded to avoid this. hell, i even spent $160 getting 10 sets sent over from hong kong last week, and not ONE of them was damaged in any way, so stop talking complete and utter rot.

just to clarify, i bought the alien legacy boxset from HMV, and EVERY disc holder was shattered, so thats your theory out the window. buy yourself a clue eh.
 
i still have no idea what you are talking about... when i've already stated that the condition of my alien quad was a lot worse than the condition of my rotk. one from web, one from shop. both broken. have you actually read anything i've typed or are you just presuming you're always right or something? this has nothing to do with the fact it was bought from the web or the shop, its to do with the fact they used poor quality packaging materials. sheesh.

anyway, you're entire viewpoint is horribly hypocritical due to the point that your very first post started with asking whether the choices direct website was secure to buy from , as it was
