Here is a mail which I sent to FIVESTAR DVD concerning the expenses of sendings for the articles out-stock

Hello,

" We will automatically ship your out of stock items when the merchandise arrives at no additional charge to you. The items listed below are presently backordered ".
It is what sent to you to your customers when the article is not available.


It is what is known as when there is an article except stock during the ordering.
For this order n° 181536, the total sum was 30.90 $.
For the 1st article sent, you counted 8,00 $ of expenses of sendings.
For the 2nd article you counted 6.50 $.The order is now 37,40 $.
8.00 $ for only one dvd!!!!!!!!

It is almost of swindles.You made the same thing for the order N° 176502.There was only one article except stock & the costs carriage amounts now to 17.50 $.totality is 47.30 $ instead of 40.80 $.approximately 2 weeks of waiting to receive only one DVD in its mail.

Site ACTIONDVD adds up 12.25 $ per 8 dvd.The parcel arrives in 5 days.
Even latency for ADULTDVD TODAY.But the carriage costs are even less expensive.
4.95 $ per 4 DVD & 9.95 per 6 to 15 DVD.And it is the same method of sending ( GLOBAL PRIORITY LETTER).

Afflicted but I am obliged to express my dissatisfaction towards your service.Simplest would have been to divide the expenses by 2.
4 + 4 = 8 $.

I perhaps will warn the international customers on the forum of "ADULTDVD TALK".

Thank you. Laurent.

PS:If I made an error, to excuse me in advance.in this case I consider that completely abnormal.

Damn, I have a big pending order at Fivestar right now ;-)

Btw, is there no option where you can choose "ship when all dvd's are in stock" like at Laserssedge? That's the great thing about Lasersedge, they only charge you for shipping once and send the DVD's when in stock, they don't wait until they're all in stock. That's what I call great service!

Let us know how it turns out for you Epstyl.

I'm going to assume that you chose "Global Priority Letter" ($5.00 per order + $1.50 for each item). I agree that, based on their stated policy, you should have either been charged $6.50 for the first shipment and $1.50 for the second or $8.00 for the first shipment and nothing for the second).

However, I hope you gave Five Star a chance to correct the problem before publicly complaining here. Retailers should always have the opportunity to fix an issue before they are maligned here.

Bill

I already carried out 13 orders at fivestar since February 2003.this error occurred with 2 recoveries.I announce you, dear bill, that the amount of the 2 orders changed in my personal account.I think that it is voluntary.Alas, much of French cannot communicate in English.Thus much about customers will never complain.

I am also customer at ACTIONDVD, DVDNOW, DVDTODAY, MOVIES BYMAIL, CD UNIVERSE, VIDEO JADED, MEDIA NETWORK.....

And that for the territory of the United States.But I also order in Europe.

Afflicted, Bill, but I do not leave any chance with FIVESTAR.It is completely inadmissible.

I noted your email from you this morning and upon seeing your 6.50 dollar overcharge for shipment, decided to refund you 14.50 for the entire shipment of both your first and last dvd. Thanks again!

I hope my french was somewhat decipherable. We appreciate your business with Five Star!

Not quite, but somehow the message gets through
