KoreanDVDs, shipping experiences?
Place order on 8/31, didn't get confirmation on shipping until 9/12, still waiting as of today. I only ordered 3 discs and they were all in stock. They also sent an email saying they usually ship within 1-3 days. Lucky I didn't need those immediately. How did others do, I'm in the US.

i got angry with them over 'crying fist' and 'a bittersweet life' which took almost a month to arrive after they *ahem* "shipped". ive already told them i will be going elsewhere (i.e dvdfromkorea ). having used both before and not experienced a problem, i would say i would expect either to be fine, but occassionally everyone has their bad days - theyre just damn annoying when youve paid to experience them.

I've been ordering more from http://www.dvdheaven.com/ lately. They seem to be having better deals and items are more often in stock.

My Carnivale Season 1 arrived 1 week after it shipped. It took a couple of days after it's release to actually ship, but overall, not bad at all.

Generally there are no major problems with KoreanDVDs, but I would recommended using DVDfromKorea. Their prices are about the same but the customer support and shipping times are excellent!

Haven't ordered from koreandvds in quite a while. I recently ordered from play-asia.com and was told the dvd would ship on the 3rd of October (showed a 7-15 day wait) for my Ice Age R2 DTS (Japan) but to my surprise it shipped on Friday (23rd). Emails from them on order status and shipment were a nice touch.

I ordered a couple of movies recently (9/13) including a pre-order that is listed as being available (9/23). I received notice that my package shipped (9/27). Everything seems normal. I'll post when I receive the package.

Since yours had a pre-order, I would consider that normal as well, if yours didn't and everything was "in stock", then I'm sure you'd be a little peeved at the order/shipped date gap.

The last order I placed through Koreandvds.com never arrived, so I had to dispute the charge on my credit card. Luckily I was credited. I had ordered from them previously and it was great. They threw in a free copy of Hellraiser 2. I'll give the other places a shot.

I, too, prefer DVDHeaven. Shipping usually takes a week for the order to get to me.
Plus one time on one order, I had to make 3 different changes to the items in the order and the shipping address. He could've been annoyed with me for all I know, but he made changes promptly and was very professional about it.

Sure enough, I received it the day after I posted that they haven't arrived. Delivery took 3 full weeks. The DVD's were triple wrapped in bubblewrap inside a cardboard box and arrived safely with no problems. No additional customs or shipping costs. It took a week longer than the last couple of times I ordered but I'm happy with the service overall.
