I am super happy withy experience with DVD Land. I received my DVD just days - less than a week after ordering it! Lack of communication is why I dropped to a 4 star review.
Very pleased with the excellent communication from this company and my gift of a new release DVD for a family member has arrived and she is delighted Highly recommend

Preorder a DVD which is fine, I know I'll have to wait for the release of it. But 2 years on from ordering it, and I've been very patient, rarely emailing them, but I finally see it in stores to buy and remember I have this ordered. Message them for a refund and they don't respond and the DVD magically arrives in 6 days time.
Do not buy from this company! I originally purchased a dvd that was showing in stock with DVD land on Google. I sent an email asking for a refund and they refused. They told me it was coming in stock soon. Then they updated with a big yellow banner saying a date it would be in stock and then auddenly the banner disappeared again with no ETA. It’s… Read more
been almost 3 months, I’ve asked about 5 times for a refund and they have refused. They also don’t bother to answer specific questions and just send a generic response back.
Hopeless retailer. Received my order today after waiting 3 MONTHS! Was not a pre-order
Avoid at all cost! Bought 6 DVDs for $300, waited 2 months, told they were pre-order 'as seen on initial screen'. I screenshot everything..no way! I asked for release date, told 'summer'. Asked for refund, said I could get store credit or it would be 20% charges for reshelving. Thank goodness for PayPal! Fully refunded. They are scammers & broken English emails on repeat makes me doubt they are in Qld!! STAY CLEAR OF DVDLAND!!
Thank you for my fast delivery. Thank you for my hard to get DVD. Thank you for your excellent and professional service by email. I'm really impressed.
Latest follow-ups
Do not buy from DVDLand. You’d have a better chance at receiving your dvd anywhere else. If I could give no stars I would. Waited for “why women kill” which was on pre-order for a whole year! Never received it. They kept saying it’ll be out soon.… Read more
I asked for a refund. They didn’t send a proper refund receipt - just kept saying it’s done. (No amount, no date refunded, no nothing). I followed up and eventually got a partial refund, when I should have received a whole refund , after waiting a whole year with no dvd. Rip off artists! I eventually ordered elsewhere and received the dvd box set within two weeks!
Follow-up · They didn’t respond to why I only received a partial refund
Terrible company. Ordered a dvd it did not arrive after a few months, emailed them and got told it was a preorder. Got strung along for over a year until I threatened to go to ACA and the ACCC, only then did they refund me. Also there appears to be… Read more
some clearly fake positive reviews that I think need looking at. Alot of the positive reviews seem identicle, it wouldn't be hard for the company to make fake profiles and print copied receipts as proof of purchase etc to make themselves fake positive reviews.
Follow-up · To reply to follow up questions. The only response was that they said they would refund me, I doubt there were many positive reviews, hard to tell with all the fake ones and they refunded me by refunded the credit card I used to make the initial purchase.

I have found DVDLand to be trustworthy and reliable. My DVDs are always delivered fast even when selecting their cheapest delivery service. I had a mission to find my friend a new DVD based on his favourite genre as a thank you gift for looking after my cat when I was on holidays. After emailing Kelly she recommended the new NCIS DVD. The… Read more
recommendation was perfect. My friend loved the DVD (not as much as my cat that he wanted to keep). In this day and age I really loved Kelly listening to what I was after and coming up with the perfect recommendation. I have since ordered and received some South Park DVDs for me, delivered in 4 days. I just love their service.
Ordered a DVD that was 'pre-order'. It arrived before listed delivery date. So DVDLand do respect your early purchase and hence do look after you. Packing is great, fast shipping and legitimate versions for Australia and region 4.

Thank you for my preorder. Great service. Preordering was great. I preordered early which saved me $10. It was delivered to me last week which was before it was on shelves. I definitely recommend preordering with DVDLand. It got me my DVD earlier and cheaper.

DVDLAND (AKA [Name Removed]) BEWARE - DO NOT BUY FROM THEM! THEY SEND PARCEL UNDER DIFFERENT NAME AND ADDRESS AND SAY YOU COLLECTED IT!! Ordered Dec 2025, never received my order. Expected release January, then end of April, it's now May, and still no items! There's been zero communication, unless I have initiated it, I have no tracking for the … Read more
order, it is now saying complete on their website - Do yourself a favour and look into their reviews before purchasing, I certainly wished I had! [Content Removed] - In QLD and NSW - 2 business names - reported to ACCC!
I paid for 2 DVDs in December 2025 and I received one quick but they just kept sringing me along for months on the 2nd dvd.Then more games after cancelling waiting for a refund, they place cancelled in a holding credit ?? Months later I get a refund!! Finally "16 MARCH "TRANSFER FROM CBA DVDLAND 169232 9.30+$12.95 Effective date 16 March 2026."
CAUTION IS REQUIRED!!! Sadly, I purchased the last season of Game of Thrones on the 9th of June 2025 and to this date I do not have either my DVD or my refund. There have been numerous queries and emails between myself and this 'family owned company' with a variety of excuses all of which I was prepared to accept. BUT recently I decided to try and… Read more
purchase this DVD elsewhere - I picked eBay - it arrived in 10 days. I have now asked for a refund and have been totally ghosted - no response, no email and no refund.
I will not be purchasing from this company again and my advice is to look elsewhere when purchasing DVD's.

DO NOT BUY FROM DVDLand!!! Ordered Kpop for my daughter and was told that it was a pre-prder....after purchase. Not even the order details said pre-order. Tried to get release date from them and the only thing I got was 'the official release date from the distributor is still pending'. I asked for a refund and was told they couldnt issue refund… Read more
b/c "..... payment was sent to the DVD publisher to guarantee your allocation". This is highly deceptive. How dare they sell something that does not exist!!!...and then refuse refund until bank/CC company gets invovled. They need to be shut down by authorities. THIS IS WHAT I DID TO GET REFUND: I raised a case with Amex and the very next day DVDLand issued a full refund.
Ordered DVD box set from their website which advised they were in stock. They cheerfully accepted payment and then after payment marked the order as on back order for 1 week. A week later I asked WHEN they would ship the item they avoided the question. This company is very good at avoiding direct questions and likes to blame the suppliers for… Read more
not supplying. The point is if you show as in stock it should not matter if the supplier is out of stock.
Obviously, they use customers funds to fund orders and do not use there own working capital to fund their own inventory.
DO NOT BUY FROM DVDland
I attempted to purchase two products from DVDLand that appeared as “available” via a Google search. After placing the orders, there was no update or indication that these items were actually pre-orders or out of stock. My most recent order dates back to July 2025. Customer service was disappointing, as I had to initiate all follow-ups myself.… Read more
Each time, I was given the same explanation blaming their supplier, along with repeated assurances that the items would be available “next month”—which never materialised.
While I did eventually receive refunds in both cases, the overall experience lacked transparency and reliability. Based on this, I would not recommend this site.
DVDland is great when it works. I've accessed some good, otherwise hard to get things from them. However, they are APPALLING at labelling whether something is actually in stock or a pre-order, and they never give you a date by which something on pre-order is expected to be released or available. I've been burned before so now I very carefully… Read more
check that something is not listed as preorder in the description before I buy... but I *still* get caught out! There is no guaranteed way to know if you are ordering something that isn't available yet until you have already paid. Then, if you check in order status, you may discover the unwelcome news that your whole order is labelled a 'preorder'. This will apply even if all but one of the items in your order are actually in stock; but you still won't be able to tell for sure which item(s) are holding everything up, or when you can expect your eventual delivery. This happens even if you pay extra for 'express' postage. In the year 2026 it just shouldn't be hard to automate your site so that items that are not yet in stock are always clearly and consistently labelled.
I first ordered in September 2025 for 4 funko pops not on pre order, only to be told they are in fact on pre order. So I thought fine i will wait, which was fine until they continued to move the arrival dates back multiple times. A few months later still no items so I asked for a refund but no luck. Got told I could only do a store credit. OK… Read more
sure, so once again I order more not on pre order but once again same thing. I finally received 2 items out of 5 months later and have now asked for PayPal refund. Bloody disgrace of a company. Stay away.

I would strongly advise avoiding shopping here. I placed an order at the beginning of January when the item showed as in stock. Shortly after ordering, I was told it was no longer available and that the release date would be the 26th of February. Now I’ve been told the item is on back order with no estimated arrival date. What makes this even… Read more
more frustrating is that the item is still being advertised as in stock on their website. When I questioned this, I was told it was due to an AI error, which I find very hard to believe.
Overall, the communication and service have been extremely disappointing, and at this point I’m not confident I will ever receive the DVD set I ordered. Unfortunately, based on this experience, I would not recommend purchasing from this business.
Ordered an item that had a 2 weeks delivery time . 15 months later and many delivery date changes (only updated when I contacted them) I have given up and asked for a refund. They agreed to refund me. Waited nearly 2 weeks to get my PayPal refund , kept being told they had done it and that they will put a trace on the transfer. I contacted PayPal… Read more
and they did not have a refund transaction from DVD Land. I was so frustrated with this company that I informed them I was calling the ACCC , amazingly my refund through PayPal came through within hours ! Buy at your own risk from these people !
Fantastic Customer Service. I had to change my order last minute and Aaron was able to assist me efficiently and professionally. Received my order 2 days later. 100% recommend and will shop with them again.
Updating further disappointment with DVDLand. After waiting many, many months for our pre-order, and DVDLand refusing a refund, we finally got some hope when the product listing showed “Coming 18 Feb”. I checked today, and the product said “In stock”. Then twenty minutes later, it changed back to “Pre order now”. This mob is either a pack of scammers, or hopelessly disorganised. Pay a few dollars more and buy your DVDs elsewhere.
And a further update… Immediately I advised DVDLand that I was tracking their “Pre-order”… Read more
[Content Removed]. Both Mum and I ordered from their site - we never got our DVDS. They say you can "pre-order", but you don't end up getting your DVDs. We both emailed them but never heard back. Plus, if you get their emails, there's no unsubscribe button. Both of these are a huge indication that it's just a [Content Removed].
DVD land went above and beyond to get our stranger things obsessed 11-year-old son a funko pop in time for Christmas. Forever forever grateful for this.Thank you.
Unfortunately, it won't let me do a ZERO star rating. I certainly don't recommend this business. I pre-ordered a DVD Series of one of my favourite shows as the latest series was not on free to air and I can't afford another streaming app. I ordered in October of 2024. Upon MANY, MANY (approximately 20) follow up emails, I was advised that the… Read more

Thanks for your email. Your DVD will be automatically shipped on the 30 November official Australian DVD release date. Whilst release dates are subject to change, we are not expecting any changes at this stage. We will ensure you are one of the very first to own. Thanks for shopping locally and supporting local small business.
Meanwhile, that particular TV show (current series) came to a free-to-air app. I emailed to request my order to be cancelled and a refund be issued - they would not process my request. The gave me an option of an on-line credit instead. This was never processed. They were extremely unhelpful and when I advised that I was going to write an unfavourable Google review, they basically 'begged' me not too.
So, over a year to receive my DVD set, numerous unhelpful emails to get a refund - didn't receive one and did not give me a credit either, not that I will be ordering anything from them ever again. This purchase was a complete waste of my hard earned money. It is still sitting in it's plastic / unopened.
I have bought a few DVDs from this company for a few years now. They advertise region 4 DVDs months before they're released without making it clear that there will be an unknown waiting period and don't make it clear that it's a pre-order. I waited 8 months for my latest DVD. However, their service and prices have been good when the DVDs are already available for region 4.
