Re: Axel music

There is nothing wrong with Axel Music. I have had over 200 discs off them over the years.

Just had Knowing on BD from them within 5 days and Towering Inferno on BD was within 8 days.

They can be expensive though as they charge by weight, so the more discs the more postage.

Re: Axel music

Axel are normally customs friendly if your order is above £18 without postage.

Also they ship from several warehouses, so it depends where they are stocked at. Also you have the Royal Mail strikes in London, which add delays to anything that goes there for sorting/delivery.

You can get stuff within 5 days and sometimes 2 weeks. Too many things in between that can hold it for you right now.

Re: Axel music

I have never been done for customs with Axel (ever), so I do not foresee you having any problems. You should have it within 2 weeks, but I bet you have it within 1 (pending any strike delay).

Re: Axel music

I ordered Red Dragon from Axelmusic on the 28th of July, received on the 1st of August 4 day delivery from Canada, cracking service!!

I have placed a total of 3 orders for various Blu's, the other 2 arrived 5 working days after dispatch. I can't fault Axelmusic so far

Does the payment actually show in your Paypal account? The reason I ask is because a similar thing happened to me recently on a clothing site. The order didn't show in either my order history or on my Paypal transaction list, yet it showed on my bank statement for a couple of days and then suddenly vanished. No money was debited.

Re: Axel music

Anyone seen them new passes Axel are doing see here AxelMusic VIP Pass

It is for a fixed period and you get no extra charges for delivery during this period. The most expensive one has 2% off your items as well.

What are peoples thoughts on them.

Case damage?
Have you asked them to send you a replacement if you return the defective title?

Re: Axel music

Yes, it's in their Terms & Conditions.

Quote:
Defective item

An item is defective if the disc for some reason is unplayable. Scratched but playable discs do not qualify as a damaged item. Due to the sturdy quality of both DVD and Blu-ray discs, minor scratches will usually not affect the playability of the disc. Please try to play the disc before contacting us. We take no responsibility for the appearance of a slip sleeve. A missing or damaged slip sleeve does not qualify as a defective item.
Understand your dissapointed mate, as would I, places like Amazon have us spoiled.
I remember getting sent out another copy of Miami Vice on HD-DVD because the first one arrived with 2 broken teeth on the case, they didn't even ask me any further information, i just emailed and bam sent another one.

I wouldn't accept a scratched up disc, playable or not.
I would still use AxelMusic personally, until this happened to me of course.
