Moviemail was great - SimplyHE sucks Moviemail was great - they had such a wide stock, and though it could take a while, you would get your stuff. But I will never order from Simply Home Entertainment again. I live in Denmark and naturally assumed that I was still ordering from within the EU, as when I ordered from Moviemail. Turns out, they are now situated on Guernsey which apparently is not part of EU. I got a letter from the postal service in Denmark, that they are holding my package and I would have to pay 300 kr (app. 37 GBP) to get it. I called SimplyHE (expensive). They could not even see my order, but promised to call back. They did not. I then wrote, but they say, they can't help me or compensate me. I'm not going to pay, letting the package be sent back. I hope I will get my money back, we'll see.

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.

They cancel orders without refunding On both occasions I ordered from MoveMail, they cancelled either the whole order or 90% of it. Their excuse is "we are out of stock", despite it still being advertised as available on the website. However, they did not tell me this – they just removed the order from the outstanding orders page – no email, no paypal refund. I shouldn't have to chase up something like this if they cancel the buying contract. They were perfectly happy keeping the money, without sending anything. Last time the paypal refund failed because the funds at their bank did not clear! It was 10 days before I got my money back. My advice would be to shop elsewhere if at all possible – Amazon, Play.com, base.com, etc. If you must use them, use Paypal to give you some protection.

Dodgy Company...do not order. Dodgy Company...do not order. placed and order with them for a newly released DVD then didnt hear anything from them. I called then (waited over 10 mins to get through) only to be told it was discontinued!!!!!! i asked for a refund and they said someone will do it in few days! quick to charge you but then you have to wait for a refund...plus you have to do all the chasing. DODGY!!!!!!!

Fast and reliable. Just got my two orders of dvd's yesterday. I am happy with my order and the fast reliable service. The company had my dvd's in the post in around 3 days especially as it was a bank holiday weekend in Ireland. The site is a treasure trove for those that are interested in art house cinema and other films that are not in the main stream of cinema, ie the Hollywood blockbusters. This site has all the films that i had studied on my master of Arts in film and cultural studies. This company i highly recommend as they are thankfully in these hard economic times, priced relatively cheap compared to the high street. If your into film this site is well worth checking out, as i will be buying more dvd's from MovieMail in the future.
