CDZone is a UK-based mail-order company with four "arms" - CDs,
videos, books and software (each with separate URLS, but all run by
the same company).
After looking for quite some time for a copy of Wim Wenders' "Until
The End Of The World" on PAL video here in Australia, I stumbled
across CDZone's video-selling arm, VideoZone
(http://www.videozone.co.uk). Anyway, I ended up ordering the video
from them, but when it reached me, the tape was damaged - since the
package had not been opened at all (so far as I could tell) prior to
me receiving it, I figured that they had inadvertantly sent me a copy
which had been returned to them as being damaged. (The tape was not
wrapped in plastic when I received it, and was wound on to about ten
minutes into the film - the first ten minutes of the tape were
severely chewed before I even put it into my VCR.)
I'm now beginning to question my assumption about the inadvertance of
them sending me this tape, because despite multiple e-mail requests
over a period of two weeks to both the manager and the mail order
department for me to exchange the tape, I'm yet to hear a reply.
Maybe they figured that since I lived in a different country, there
wasn't a hell of a lot I could do if they sent me a dodgy tape, but I
guess all that I can do is hopefully try and prevent any of you from
dealing with them.
So, the essential moral is : CDZone are eager to take your money, but
aren't so eager to return your e-mails when you have a problem with
damaged stock.
You have been warned ...
Regards,
Matt
