I haven't ordered from them in years, but I used to quite often. I never had a problem.

Re: BEWARE DVD Pacific!

I'd like to add that it's been many years since dvdpacific stored credit card numbers on their site, and while their FAQ may SAY they can ask for a credit card statement, they have never asked me for one. I have made dozens more orders since my last comment here, and have never had a problem with fraud from anyone at all.

The fact that people have had fraud on their cc before they even get it in the mail indicates there are people at or involved with the credit card issuers, or they are somehow using random numbers to make fraudulent purchases.

At any rate, it is highly unlikely dvdpacific is at fault, despite several people complaining about them. After all the thousands of dollars I've spent there, if they were so bad I'd have been nailed by now. They have by far the best prices 99% of the time on dvds, blurays and on some cds. Even with shipping and exchange, I save a bundle over local stores or Canadian online retailers that offer free shipping.

I give them my highest recommendation to all my friends. Hardly a week goes by that I don't praise them to someone. I received two shipments from them this week already. For cross-border service, I get the majority of orders within two weeks of shipping. And I pay half the price on average of buying from amazon.ca - and THEY take a week or more on their free shipping, from within Canada.

BTW, I am No Jessica, Mr. Goldblum. Whatever that comment was supposed to mean. Kids these days are so ill-mannered.

How would someone that doesn't work there be able to know how a business handles processes like that, which are not normally shared with the public?

Now that they take Paypal I don't worry about them anymore, but if Ikaris is indeed an employee, which I heartily suspect, it doesn't bode well for receiving your order in a timely fashion.

My longest ever wait for a dvd was from DVD Pacific (6-7 months) but they did eventually deliver. No card problems at the time though.

Re: BEWARE DVD Pacific!

Going to ask a question here,hoping no one minds:
Im considering buying/pre-order Power Rangers: Seasons 8-12 from them because of the low price,it normally costs $179.99 but is now $110.87.Its the lowest price i have seen for this Box Set and i wish to pay using PayPal.Does anyone have some experience with DVD Pacific in 2013 when buying from them?I live in Norway so shipping will be overseas for me.

Re: BEWARE DVD Pacific!

I now understand why someone from DVD Pacific came to post here. This thread is the second result in Google when you search for "DVD Pacific." Looking at their website now, I think DVD Pacific might simply be another alias for one of the larger media distributors in the country.

Check out this link for the Power Rangers set you want:
http://www.blowitoutahere.com/power-...2/826663144529

The sites look very similar. I haven't ordered from DVDPacific in years, but I can personally vouch for Blowitoutahere's service. They are a huge seller on Amazon's marketplace and occasionally run coupons.

Thanks,but they seems to only be shipping to the USA.I live in Norway and need to buy from someone that ships to my country.Thats why i consider buying from DVD Pacific since the price on Amazon.com is $169.99...Thats around $60.00 cheaper if i buy from DVD Pacific and for me thats a lot of money.
