Page 1 of Amazing Service from Blackstar

Recently ordered a couple of DVD`s separately at around mid-day - they were despatched same day and arrived next morning! Have to say I am impressed. Movies were Bully and Some Girl but I got the feeling that this would have happened whatever the title. Didn`t pay postage on Bully either.

Yeah, Blackstar are fast, but they are usually quite expensive. I only order from them if I have a voucher to get money off 8)

I take your point about price but I forgot to mention in my original post that I paid less for the particular movies from Blackstar than I could quickly find anywhere else so I would say that they are worth a look at least.

Cheers.

All UK and Ireland orders are free of any postage costs now. That certainly improves the prices a bit ;)

Midly cynical point: they may be so quick to despatch as this gives you no time to change your mind as you can only cancel before despatch and only return (as I understand it with all of these retailers) if the thing is faulty. :/

Yes, but why would you change your mind?

The quicker the better in my opinion. I ordered Two Towers this morning and it shipped today. I should have it by tomorrow :D

You might change your mind if you found an even cheaper version! But in truth they do seem to offer a really good service and they have been around for quite a while.

One question though which I can`t find the answer to on their site is regarding payment for preorders - do they take the money straight away or only when the product is released (which would be the honourable thing to do)? I was thinking about preordering the extended verion of Two Towers for my daughter and they say there is a saving of £9.00 but you have to wonder what the retail high street price will be in the end. I might be better off getting it from Woolies (the wife gets a 10% discount). Does anyone know what the general track record for prices is for preorder versus on the day release?

Blackstar don`t charge your credit/debit card until it is shipped.

I`ve found some of their pre-order prices to be good. But looking at the price of the Extended Edition they are way too expensive. I think it will be £24.99 in the shops, which means I`ll get it for £22.50. But £26.99??? Too expensive.

Also, as soon as a DVD is released, Blackstar jack the price up.

Hope that helps. ;)
