Due to virus postal cancellations they told me to pay another more expensive shipping method i said no cause it was already paid by me before SAL method went out. The automatized processing of the articles is frozen but the storage charges are virtually going up How bizarre. Sorry to hear you are having a rubbish time of it with them. I'm in absolutely no way affiliated with them at all, making that absolutely clear, just I've used them for a good few years now (since they first started iirc) and never had an issue. I have found sometimes that they can be slow with an auction unblock request, or getting back to a message sent. But they've done everything I've asked of them in the past and always packed items really well. They did the photos of my CLD-R7G recently too, which granted was an extra ¥500 but that's mere pennies when you are about to spend a lot of money importing a Laserdisc player and want to check it arrived domestically as the seller described. That's poor though if they offered you SAL, you paid for the shipping and then they didn't ship it out before SAL services were stopped due to the pandemic. Is that what happened? That's pretty awful and you would be well within your rights to put the blame on them for not getting your parcel shipped out to you on time if restrictions were not in place. If they couldn't fulfill the service then I would think the least they could do is store your parcel free of charge until SAL service resumes again and then ship it out to you. Failing that if they were offering SAL shipping after the service was ceased due to pandemic restrictions and didn't correct their website then that's their fault and I would have thought they would either a) allow you to store for free until SAL resumes again, or b) pay some or all of the difference for a different shipping option up to a certain cap (something fair, depending on weight etc). Or refund the difference in full if a cheaper option, e.g. Surface, was available to you. It's not right at all and sounds like a bit of a mess. Wishing you the best and hope you get it straightened out. I'll certainly be watching them more carefully in future.

They apologized but man are you a japanese company? then do honor to that and complete the damn work as accorded! Agree with you 100%, though it may be best to just suck it up and pay the extra shipping to get your goods and take the hit. Vote with your wallet afterwards. See if they will wipe off the storage fees as a goodwill gesture? I found some information here that, although doesn't bode well for you, may prove useful. Good luck. https://europa.eu/youreurope/citizens/c ... shortcut-5

Just got this guy which is long overdue Wanted to see how the PCM soundtrack compared to the DD 5.1 remix of the quadrophonic sound on the DVD. The PCM is definitely an upgrade for the songs in the movie since those mostly don't have any incidental background noises.

Epic Yeah but I found out after ordering that this non-THX release apparently isn't the greatest transfer.
