DVD Pacific

Hey,

I'm just wondering if DVD Pacific are a reputable retailer? They have the Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford on HD DVD for £13.37, and I was thinking of ordering it, but haven't used DVD Pacific before. Also, what is the best method of postage to use, the Swedish mail, airmail or surface mail?

Thanks in advance.

Re: DVD Pacific

I've used them loads of time and had no problems. With the standard shipping option (USPS International Surface Mail) to the UK, it takes about 7 working days for discs to arrive.

I've read that the Swedish mail option is even slower. Just make sure the total value is under £18 otherwise customs will charge you.

Re: DVD Pacific

Used them loads of times. No problems with them, but slow delivery (3-4 weeks each time via Surface Mail).

Re: DVD Pacific

I've used them many times and have always found them to be efficient and keenly priced. I've always used the surface mail option and it's rarely taken longer than two weeks for delivery.

Re: DVD Pacific

Make sure you get a sealed copy of your dvd, ordered Superman the movie on HD and it wasn't sealed, it didn't even have the sticker on top of the case.

Anyone else had this problem?
