    Just wondering if anyone has used them before.

    What were they like? Anyone caught by evil customs?

    I'm about to buy a psp, lumines and wipeout pure from them (works out at 285euro) so I've just emailed them to ask if they mark their stuff down as a gift like vg+, hopefully I'll get an answer from them soon.

    Thanks for any feed back.

    I once ordered two items from them October last year. The first item took a month or so to arrive, while the second didn't arrive at all.

    After two months I told them I hadn't recieved my complete order, so two weeks later they shipped another copy. I finally got the game in the middle of January.

    So yeah, I refuse to use them again.

    Hmm, doesnt sound too good.

    I know they can take up to a month because its normal airmail, which is fine with me as I can wait because I wouldnt want it arriving in the middle of my college exams!

    DVDBO are not a good company. Slow to respond to emails, slow to send stuff and orders frequently lost.

    Best stay with the trusted VG+ or Tronix.

    Haven't had too much trouble with them. they just seem to be really slow. About 70% or orders end up in the pending status which means about a months wait. They have lost one package on me but it was no trouble getting them to send another one. The problem is that you had to wait 60 days from the time of postage until they can send one out.

    DVDboxoffice? The first time I used them it was grand. Ordered Metroid Zero Mission from them a month before European release, it arrived within 10 days and it only cost me about 26 euro. The second time... I ordered another GBA game. 60 days later... no sign of it. And no notification. They got an angry e-mail and the cost was refunded. Not happy with a wait that long.

    I bought 2 GameCubes off them (Tales of Symphonia and Zelda Four Swords Adventure), Tales of Symphonia arrived OK, no customs. They were out of stock of Zelda, they didn;t mention this on the website, I only found out after a bit of wait and emailed them, they told me they were waiting for it to arrive. I don't like the way they don't tell you how many they have in stock. Otherwise no complaints.

    Only ordered from them once, Tales of Symphonia on my GC. First time around it never arrived. I gave them the 60 days specified then got back on to then. The second copy they sent arrived in a week. Don't think I would use them again, too much hassle.
