Re: Vidshop
I thought there was a comment on the page about their unreliability. I now see that there is no longer. The link remains because we suspect them of extreme incompetence rather than crookedness, but there should certainly be a comment to this effect.
Re: Vidshop
Incompetence???? [They have] owed me 4 videos since February 2000. Our one year anniversary.
I e-mailed them about 20 times and got bull-shit 'we are going to send the videos to you as soon as...' answers continually. A year on I still do not have my videos, even though I have posted messages in many forums and must have cost them ?100's worth of business.
They are unwilling or unable [...] to provide the films that they are advertising.
One other thing, the only Company I recommend is Astorian. Your Choice is a good Company and quality is fine but if your tapes go missing in the post, there can be a problem. This also happens if you are not satisfied with a tape. I received a copy of Cumback # 6 which had many drop-outs but they were unwilling to replace. The reason I recommend Astorian can be summed up like this: I ordered 8 tapes from them and did not receive them. I wrote to them explaining the situation, within 3 days I had replacements along with 2 free films starring Charmaine Sinclair (my fave) AND ABSOLUTELT NO QUESTIONS ASKED. That is the way i like to be treated by my suppliers.
So to sum up - Champagne for Astorian, Real Pain for Vidshop.

Re: Vidshop
Incompetence because I have ordered and received videos from them since the date you mention, but only a couple of months later. There was a problem with one of them which was resolved and I got an extra free boxed Private video. However, i have not ordered since. Given the number of complaints I also would not recommend that no one uses them. Astorian do give a good service, but they are not the only ones who do. Everyone makes mistakes occasionally and there are some who make them a lot and others who are out and out crooks and some who probably combine the last two descriptions.
Re: Vidshop
I would say that in my experience, Your Choice will solve any problems, no questions asked. When tapes didn't arrive, they asked me to give it more time, then replacements were sent. I would have to say that the picture quality on some tapes I ordered recently was below their usual standard, but frankly not bad enough to merit the hassle of sending the buggers back.
