    This is part of a multiple shipment. There was a question about one item in the package, which was resolved, so the package arrived later than expected. However, it was well packed and arrived in great shape. The movies contained were exactly what I ordered, and all as described or better. I give 5 stars all round, including for shipping time, because of the reason behind it. It all leads to great service. Communication is excellent; variety, price & quality also. I highly recommend this seller.

    Received the wrong cd inside the jewel box they sent on one of my items ordered. I contacted them immediately and they responded very quickly. While they weren’t able to send the proper cd, they immediately issued a full refund. They handled the situation very politely, compassionately and professionally. I will buy from them again. You should too.
