Hi everyone,

Just wondering if anyone's tried their '10 DVDs for a penny' deal (not counting the ~$6/each shipping charge!)... and if it really worked, and how hard it was to cancel out of their club afterward.

If it's legit, it seems like a reasonable deal... however, I have a funny feeling about this place.... :)

Note that it looks like the exact same site is online as [ invalid url ]

Hi desieber & welcome - I was checking out your link, and while I have no experience with this site, you probably would receive your DVDs "in 3 to 4 weeks" as stated. The problem is... you'll probably wish you hadn't! Having to choose 10 out of only 40 choices, I had a hard time finding even one that was appealing. Among them "Milking Mamas" "Sexual Monstrosities" & "2002 cumshots", these look like the slapped together junk that isn't even worth the $6.00 each "shipping charge". Instead of turning you on, they usually just piss you off. So, they'll have 60. of your hard earned dollars, and you'll have just a bunch of junk. You can get much better quality DVDs (and a helluva lot more to choose from) from the stores who advertise here, for not much more, and you can rest assured that they're all reputable, can ship fast & care about the customer. Have you checked out the "specials" page, or used the price search tool? Not sure what your tastes are - but There's usually some dollars off coupons, too from various stores. And no, I don't work here, and wasn't paid to say this, it's just my opinion, but I've been there.

I think that 'scam' may be a bit harsh to describe the 'deal'. This site was posted one other time in the forum. Not much feedback there either. You can read it here.

I agree with dumblonde's comments above. I'm sure that there would have been a lot more talk about the 10 for a penny deal if it was really worthwhile. $60 is awful expensive to ship 10 DVDs. I would be concerned about recurring billing since there are no instructions or policies listed on the site. There isn't even a customer service email address or phone number listed. Would you trust your credit card number with a web site that doesn't provide you with a means of contacting them?

Drew... I agree with your (and dumblonde's) comments... I think I was just more curious if someone had actually tried it more than anything else. After this, I think I'll be staying far away from them, & sticking with FiveStar instead.

Thanks!

HI
Regarding directdvdclub, I ran across this a few weeks ago. The titles being offered are cheap enough, that the company can make some money by charging a lot on shipping. So, I don't think it's a scam to the best of my knowledge.

However, you get what you pay for, especially with adult movies. A $5-15 dvd movie will NOT have the same high quality reproduction that a more expensive DVD would have. For instance, view a Private or VCA label DVD.... It may cost a few more dollars, but you can actually see the action! Crystal clear! That's the whole point of a DVD after all... The less expensive ones can be heavily pixelated.... the quality of the vhs tape is probably better!

Also, I would be concerned ordering from an e-commerce site where you provide them with personal info. and your CC #, but then, you can't contact them! Sounds scary!! Be careful.
