I would just like to report a very positive experience with the Hong Kong based DVDShelf (http://www.dvdshelf.com).

I ordered a number of titles from them including Osamu's "Gohatto", Kitano Takeshi's "Gonin", Miyazaki's "Marco", and Ang Lee's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

This order shipped on Friday and arrived on my desk in Sydney at about 10:45 am this morning - you simply cannot ask for better service than that (well, not without a matter transporter at least).

The discs all appear to be in perfect condition except for one of the very cheap ones ("Sumo Do, Sumo Don't") which is very badly scratched - although this appears to have happened in the warehouse as it was securely on its spindle in the case when it arrived.

I am waiting for a response from DVDShelf concerning this and will post the outcome once I hear back from them - hopefully it will be as positive as evrything else thus far in my experience with them.

Just thought I would share.

regards, Tim...

Thanks for that Hardtack. I'm just browsing through their site now.

Your in Sydney then are you?
