anyone ordered a vcd from allvcd.com

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Video CD : One Thread

they say an order can take 10 to 30 days for delivery. i ordered star wars episode1 on the 5th jan. so that makes it 26 days sofar. surely this cant be right.

i live in south africa and to deliver something from malasia/singapore or where ever they are cant be that long. maybe the post office gremlins decided they havent seen starwars and decided they would help themselves to my copy.

anyway i just want to know if anyone has had any problems with allvcd. they seem good enuf be you never know.

What's up with this allvcd.com outfit? Is it a legit site? All i have heard about them is BAD news.

Your order could be held up in customs or there could be a shipping delay. I believe that if you have a query like this then the first place to enquire is with the vendor - most vendors provide tracking numbers so that you can check with the courier where your VCD has got to. It would also be good practice to check that the order has been processed - has your credit card been debited has your order been dispatched did the vendor receive your order? I have not heard of any problems with this particular store apart from a couple of wild unsubstantiated accusations from people giving fake email addresses! I would say there are bad experiences and good experiences from every store in every location. The best policy is to be guided by your instincts and by someone running an independant check on each store who follows up all serious complaints and who will give a ranking to each store concerned - like this site that I run :-

If any accusation is made with a false email address then it must be dismissed as slander whereas a genuine complaint is generally best directed to the store concerned and if it is not satisfactorarily resolved then involve someone like me with the power to delist or demote the sites rating on my web site. I will need an order number and date it was placed to follow up on it!
