What about DVDPacific?
I'm loyal to places like DDD and CDUniverse (for the very scarce DVDs), with both of which I have had almost completely positive experiences. But, when I check in at PriceSearch, DVDPacific usually trumps everyone else with regard to prices. Of course, if one waits for DDD's bi-yearly sales it's moot, but sometimes I want to buy DVDs between sales.
Does DDD price-match, and, if so, how does one incorporate that with the secure shopping cart?
I have tried Pacific once and it wasn't good (with the stuff out of stock for many weeks, and no communication, I eventually cancelled order).

I have only ordered once from them recently, last several months. It was a good experience. No problems, no disk or crushed stuff. They even honored a price mistake; it was "in-stock" when I ordered but they had to backorder, and I still got it -- took awhile though.
So all in all, I would say good, atleast for this one order.

Thanks for the input forumsmy. Judging from the dearth of responses, not many here buy from Pacific, which is surprising given the rock-bottom prices.

It may be the shipping that alot of people adamitly (sp?) do not want to pay, no matter what the shipping cost and the total price, including shipping, may be. Some are totally adverse to paying for shipping when they can get free shipping elsewhere.

I've bought items there several times, no problems. A friend of mine buys from them regularly as he has found several items not available elsewhere, and many silent & foreign films at the lowest on-line prices.
There was one item he had that was back-ordered, and it did take nearly three months for it to show up - but since it wasn't available anywhere else, he was quite satisfied.

I have ordered from them twice (box sets) and everything went fine. I beleive they do estimated shipping and I think I read here before if you order multiple items they may ship seperatley and charge for shipping each time. Correct me if I'am wrong it might have been someplace else.

DVDpacific had a major security breech a few years ago. LOTS of people had their card numbers stolen, me being one of them. They did admit their mistake, but not before hundreds of dollars had been charged to peoples' cards. I would never order from them again. They may say their site is secure now, but they said that before the breech too.

Dammit, DVDPacific is charging for shipping again. It becomes free only if you purchase $30 or more. There goes the savings on the great prices.

Re: What about DVDPacific?
Heck, you're right! That is a total disappointment. I've ordered alot of DVDs with them because of their competitive prices. They won't see me there anymore.

I've ordered from DVDPacific numerous times and I've always received great service. I am disappointed to learn that they're charging for shipping again.

I bought from them once, they screwed up in my benefit (sent me two Die Hard sets, charged me once) but then wanted me to pay for shipping to fix the problem, which I was unwilling to do. After that I figured if something went wrong not to their benefit, they'd probably do even worse so I didn't shop there again.

theres a program you can get that generates a visa/mastercard for your paypal account allowing you to use your paypal account anywhere and changes everytime you want it to so people cant steal your shit

I've used them several times with no problems. Great prices, and they never cancel a back order. Hell may freeze over before you get it, but at least there's still a chance. What's to lose, if you can't even order the disc anywhere else? It's not hard to put together a 30.00 order to get free shipping.
