Cheap box sets? Too good to be true?

Options
Hi all, I have just come across this site and being of cynical nature towards deals that look a little too good to be true, hoped I'd get some advice on here. The box sets offered are all region free, free shipping and v good pricing- what do people think?

    Priced in dollars, no address or telephone numbers, barge poles come to mind.

    But someone may know different.
    That gum you like is coming back in style.

    these look like the stuff i get when on detachment with the military; copies.

    However, some of the boxsets i used to get were fantastic quality, rips direct from the originals with quality boxes and sleeves. Only they were a lot cheaper than the prices on the site mentioned.

    Some of the stuff i bought were lousy though, for instance when they try to squeeze a single season of Friends onto one dvd (approx 20 odd episodes on 1 dvd!!) The quality suffers etc......

    I personally would not buy from here, in fact i only buy stuff i know i will watch over and over again, the rest i get from torrents for free!!! sssssh!!

    thanks ivrytwr - v interesting. to be honest i only get stuff i will watch again or that are difficult to see in the uk if it is not picked up by a channel etc. i was getting the wire for ages until it was on fx...it sounds like you could easily have a little retirement plan going on getting these boxsets for friends and family!!! (if so consider me a friend!)

  • Looking at this stuff it is all PIRATE, no Hollywood company releases region free DVD's
  • DO NOT I repeat Do Not order from this scamming website, still waiting after 2 months for my goods which equal £90, no reply to emails and since buying there are so many complaints on the web about them. Please don't get fooled like I did!
