    I had a terrible time with selectdvds and "Jon". Did some research and it seems no-one really knows what goes on in this guy's mind but my suggestion is everyone stay clear.

    Be particularly on the lookout for periodic e-mails with a story about your order being out of stock at suppliers (after your card has been charged) followed finally by one cancelling your order. Then you can start the negotiation to get your money back.

    So you've had a bad experience with them, I've had a good one. These things happen. I just think it's a shame that immediately scaremongers are saying 'cancel your order' and 'cancel your credit card' when there is no real evidence to suggest that there is anything awry (apart from the fact that we may get a bargain). I researched on google for customer comments and noticed that of the negative comments, they were almost all from december last year. The positive comments came from a wide timescale. This suggests to me that the company had some problems at that time. My experience, and that of others (who have reviewed favourably) suggests the company is not all bad, and certainly doesn't warrant the scaremongering going on.

    It's probably just a typo on the site and the orders will be cancelled as soon as they realise. It might be genuine. We don't know until we give it a try.

    Yes, I got one with my order details as soon as I ordered. Why, did you not get one?

    Worth remembering that anyone who takes credit cards on the internet will have their card processor keep very accurate stats on late deliveries, no shows and complaints, as well as refunds.

    Most sellers can't afford to stuff up their relationship with their card processor - it's a real pain to change, and if your existing processor thinks you are trying to pull a fast one, they are very likely to freeze all your funds.

    no details on the website what so ever about the films, normal websites would have that. Could it be real? what is the normal delivery for this company? i dont think i will trust them UNLESS i hear of some1 on here who has ordered getting their order then if im not too late will order but i dont want to risk anything :)
    Never do things tomorow when you can do them today.

    Well the chances of any of us receiving them now look slim thanks to your greed!
  • I ordered a DVD from Select on 28th July. I had an e-mail confiming dispatch on 4th August. I haven't received it yet but the e-mail states 4 working days.
