They never reply; you'd think they do not actually exist! Before Moviemail was taken over, they were an exceptional company. Not always the cheapest, but at least they were a small family-owned and -run business, with exceptional service. Then there was a takeover which smacked of a fire sale, it took place so quickly. Since then, the service is utterly appalling. Items which are shown as being in stock turn out not to be, so sit in your order history without any updates apart from "On order, despatched within 5-7 days". Emails are not responded to, not even auto-acknowledged. How the mighty are fallen. Avoid Moviemail at all costs.

The only destination for UK film lovers They had some major hiccups last year following a change in ownership, but MovieMail remains the best place to find out about world cinema and vintage films coming to DVD and Blu-ray in the UK. If you only like blockbusters then they're not for you, but if you love foreign films and off-the-beaten-track gems you'll love it.

Terrible Company Since changing ownership Moviemail have become an appalling company, money is taken for items which are apparently in stock but are never shipped, when you try to contact them all of your emails are ignored. Money was taken from my account a month ago but still no shipping notification and no reply to emails, don't waste your time.

Delivery times much longer than promised Ordered 4 DVDs on 20th Dec 2013, paid £5 for delivery before Christmas. Arrived on 3rd Jan. Perhaps they meant next Christmas. All they offered was my £5 next day delivery charge back and blamed the courier company. Goods are fine but delivery promises are fiction.

Check delivery times I ordered a Cinema Paradiso dvd which eventually proved to be unobtainable. It took some time to sort this with Moviemail but they eventually agreed to provide, as an alternative, another dvd I also wanted. This was somewhat more expensive but they absorbed the extra cost. I suggest phoning to make sure your title is available in a reasonable time.
