Do you ship to US military (APO/FPO) addresses?
Yes, we can ship your order to an APO or FPO address. Currently, only
Expedited Shipping is available for delivery to US military destinations.
One-Day and Two-Day Shippng options are not available.
When shipping to a US military destination, please allow sufficient time for
delivery, as the package will ultimately be transfered over to the military
postal system for final delivery. Estimated delivery times are not available
for APO/FPO addresses as the military postal systems sets their own delivery
schedule. Although packages are normally delivered within a few days,
delivery can take upwards of a month depending on the final destination and
regional conditions.

Do you provide tracking for shipments?
All domestic shipments shipped through One-Day or Two-Day Shipping are
provided with a tracking number. All domestic shipments shipped through
Expedited Shipping are provided with either a tracking number or a delivery
confirmation number, with the exception of shipments sent to APO/FPO miliary
destinations which cannot be tracked.
International shipments sent through FedEx Int'l Priority are also provided
with a tracking number. All other international shipments do not have any
tracking service available and will not be provided with a tracking number.
When your package is released for shipment, a shipment confirmation e-mail
will be sent to you. If a tracking or delivery confirmation number is
available, it will be included in the e-mail. You can also view your order
status and track the delivery status, when available, by visiting
My Account
and clicking on the
Order History
link under the Account Options menu to find the relevant order to track.
Tracking information is normally updated daily, but please allow for some
delays as we obtain this information from third party sources which may
experience occasional delays in updating their own systems with timely
tracking and delivery confirmation information.
A tracking number provides detailed information on the current location of
your package. Your package is generally scanned multiple times as it travels
to your shipping area. This allows you to obtained detail information on the
location and status of your package during the entire delivery period.
Unlike a tracking number, a delivery confirmation number will only provide
delivery confirmation data. Your package will normally be scanned once at the
point of shipment and once at the point of delivery. You will not be able to
obtain detailed information on the package while it travels to your shipping
area. During high volume periods, your package may not be scanned until the
final delivery point.

Are shipments insured against loss or damage?
For domestic orders, you can elect to purchase insurance for your shipment
during the checkout process. For international orders, packages sent through
FedEx Int'l Priority are insured against loss or damage. All other
international shipping methods are not insured. If you have concerns about
potential loss or damage of your shipment, or live in an area where such
occurances have occured, we highly recommend that you purchase insurance
(domestic shipping) or select an insured shipping method such as FedEx Int'l
Priority (international shipping).
In order for us to replace an undelivered or damaged shipment sent through an
insured shipping method, a non-delivery must be reported to us within 15 days
of shipment, and a damaged package must be returned back to us. To track lost
shipments, we will actively work with you and our freight carriers to
investigate the claim. Since most packages are sent with a tracking number, we
are often able to locate most non-received shipments.
I received my movie, but the disc is scratched. Can I send it back for a replacement?
During transit, a disc may become dislodged from the spindle of its case. When
a disc is dislodged from the spindle, the surface of the disc may develop
scratch marks as it moves about freely within the case. Light surface
scratches typically will not affect the playback of the disc. If your disc
becomes heavily scratched during transit and it is causing playback issues on
your DVD player, you may return the disc back to us and will we repair the
disc for you. If the disc cannot be repaired, we will send you a replacement
disc of the same title.
What is a "billing" phone number?
Your "billing" phone number is the telephone number that you provided to your
card issuer as your contact number. This is normally your home or business
telephone number that you provided to the card issuer when you applied for the
card. It is NOT the telephone number for the card issuer's customer service
department found on the back of your card.
As an additional security measure, we verify your billing phone number with
your card issuer when we process your order. The processing of your order
may be delayed if the billing phone number you provide does not match with the
information on file with your card issuer.
What is a "shipping" phone number?
The "shipping" phone number is the telephone number you would like us or our
freight carriers to call in case there is a problem with your shipment during
transit. If a valid phone number is not provided, we will not be able to
contact you in the event of any shipping issues, which may cause delays in the
delivery of your order.
Why do you require both a shipping and billing phone number?
We request a shipping phone number in case there is any problem with your
shipment during transit. It will not be used unless absolutely necessary to
ensure delivery of your order.
We use the billing phone number to validate new or suspicious accounts. When
ordering by credit or debit card, the billing phone number you provide is
compared against the phone number that is on file with the bank or lender that
issued the card. It is important that you provide the correct phone number for
verification purposes. We are unable to complete the transaction on your order
if an incorrect phone number is provided.
Please rest assured that all information provided is used for verification
purposes only.
Will you sell my e-mail, address, or phone number to any third parties?
Absolutely not! We are not in the business of selling our customer's personal
information. We value your privacy and will not sell any of your personal
information to third parties. All information is used only for processing the
orders that you place with us. Please read our
Privacy Policy
for further information.
Why have I not received any e-mails confirming my order?
If you are not receiving order confirmation e-mails from us, please visit
My Account
to make sure that the e-mail address you provided is correct. If the
address is correct, the next step would be to check if the e-mail program you
use or your hosted e-mail account is incorrectly filtering out our e-mail as
spam and automatically placing them in your junk mail folder. If this is
the case, you will need to setup your filtering program to stop filtering
our e-mails as spam.
Why do you charge a restocking fee on returned products?
We accept returns of brand new, unopened products; however, we do charge a
restocking fee for all returns. We charge a restocking fee to cover the
fixed merchant processing and shipping fees that are incured for every order
we ship, even it is later returned back to us for a refund.
I'm having playback problems with my DVD. What should I do?
The first thing to do is to check if the problem is due to a compatibility
issue. While most DVD players sold today are "mostly" compliant with the DVD
standard, many older models and some newer models still do not support the
full standard. As a result, you may occasionally encounter a DVD where you
experience playback problems because your DVD player does not support a
feature used by the DVD.
If your DVD disc freezes on certain chapters or is exhibiting playback issues,
you should try to play the disc on a different DVD player model or DVD-ROM
player on your computer to make sure that the playback problem is not due to
compatibility issues with your specific DVD player.
If you are still experiencing the same playback issues on a different DVD
player, then you can return the DVD back to us. Once we receive the DVD, we
will test the disc for any manufacturer defect. If we are able to reproduce
the problem, we will replace your DVD with another disc of the same title.
If we are unable to reproduce the problem and cannot determine that the
playback issue is due to a manufacturer defect, we will return the same disc
back to you. We are unable to handle exchanges for incompatibility issues. A
replacement disc will most likely not address the playback issue you are
experiencing. The issue can only be addressed by updating or replacing your
DVD player with one that is fully compliant with the standard.
To date, most returns that we have received have actually ended up being due
to a compatibility issue and not because of a manufacturer defect. Prior to
returning a disc because it is not playing properly on your DVD player, we
highly recommend that you obtain or borrow a different DVD player and try to
see if your playback problem can be reproduced. This will save on the expense
and trouble of sending discs back and forth.
To return a defective disc for a replacement, please read our
Return Policy for
further information.
