Asiandb.com Credibility

Hey guys .. and the ladies ..

I've found one site that lists a DVD that I need to have that all others list as out of stock. That film would be "When the Last Sword is Drawn" .. Korean LE 2 Disk.

Anyone have any experience that they would be willing to share about this site? It's appreciated ...

It figures that I eventually find such films after they've gone OOP .. and I'm not willing to pay $45+ for the Japanese release ... just yet.

I placed an order for the Hero ultimate edition from them on 3/2 and have not received any sort of confirmation. Their site's credit card system does not appear to be secure, so I used PayPal instead. Now I'm wondering if I should file a claim.

theDVDetective has When the Last Sword is Drawn in stock. I've ordered from them a few times without problems and they are a US based company that ships from Colorado.

I don't know if this is the edition you're looking for but there is also a 1 disc version a lot cheaper at DVDfromKorea a lot cheaper.

Sorry to hear of your plight, JZ. Hope it works out.

I'll be doing some more homework yet before hitting up this site.

I sent a message to their Customer Service section last night, and they updated the status of my order to Shipped. Maybe they just needed a kick in the pants?

I've heard reports that people received "new" items from them that were clearly opened and used. If this set had been in stock anywhere else, I probably would not have risked this place.

For what it's worth, my Hero Ultimate Edition arrived today in good order. The shipping box was even wrapped with a pretty little bow!

Everything appears fine. The set was still shrinkwrapped, not second-hand.

I don't know that I would use them again, especially since their prices are pretty high, and their credit card server does not appear secure at all (definitely use the PayPal option), but for a set that I couldn't find in stock anywhere else I'm glad it all worked out to my satisfaction.

glad to hear you got everything ok! i agree that they are pricey, and i only use them as a last resort for stuff i can no longer find anywhere, be it sites or ebay. they seem to have a good inventory (and they of course know this, and charge a LOT for some of their stuff).

Like I said, I used the PayPal option. I would never enter my credit card number on an unencrypted web page.

I use asiandb for research only because their prices are too high... but I would be confident in ordering from them if the price was right.

Never received my order with them. Had to make a paypal claim to get my funds back.
