This so called store is a complete sham/scam. Once you make payment...that's it. I sent several emails requesting an update for my tracking number & they never responded once. I finally contacted my bank to reverse the charge. Just p*ssed, I was looking forward to receiving this movie.

DON'T BUY FROM COMPANY!!! Movie was cracked on DVD, movie wasn't even made cant play and no customer service!!!

The DVD I purchased arrived damaged with a large crack on the case and DVD. I reached out to Rare & Collectables and was told that I needed to return the DVD (at my expense) in order for them to ascertain that I was telling the truth! This reply… Read more

contradicted with their 'returns policy' on the website. The reply from David at R&C was abrasive and rude! I returned the DVD, over 1 week ago, however I have heard nothing nor received a replacement ( as stipulated on their shipment info ) This is not a rebuttable company - buyer beware!

 Follow-up  · I reluctantly returned the DVD as David from Rare and Collectables made it clear they wouldn't believe me unless I paid for the DVD to be returned, which I did. I checked that it was returned via express post, and have hear nothing since! Vary dodge seller, unreliable and avoid at all costs!

The product I requested on June 6th with order number 4493 was sent to my e-mail address 3 times as the first half of the movie, as if mockingly. Moreover, the movie, which was originally stated to be 97 minutes long, was incomplete and censored. Despite the numerous e-mails I sent about this issue, they still haven't sent the second part of the movie. An unreliable, fraudulent site

Very Satisfied – I have been dealing with Rare collectables dvd now for several years now and if problem comes up I phone up David is only to happy send me another one. The only thing It takes about 2 weeks from Western Australia to get to me as I live f.n.Queensland and nobody can complain about that. Show reply

Don't buy from THEM – I put an order in over 6 months ago and just keep getting excuse after excuse. Have paid over $200.00. Am now going to ask for a full refund and might seek legal action if not forthcoming.

Ordered and Received a TV series – I have recently purchased a TV Series from David. The Quality was really good, but one of the episodes was missing. I communicated with David and he resolved the issues in a timely manner, which was very much appreciated. For me it is the putting right that counts, so i am very happy with the service i have received. John from NZ

Ordered four DVDs, received only one – I ordered a DVD online and, a minutes later, found even more titles I needed, so ordered three more in the second batch. The first DVD turned up after only a few days. The quality was excellent and I was thrilled with it. Days of waiting for the second parcel turned into weeks. No replies to my five email enquiries. Business email address on… Read more

PayPal bounced, so nothing left but to request a full refund via PayPal. So glad I didn't pay by a different method. Bewildered and disappointed.

Don’t buy from them!. It’s bad quality – I wouldn’t even give this company one star. ( had to give them 1 because it wouldn’t allow me to submit details) The DVD “A mom for Christmas” stopped, skipped and then the voices were completely out of sink with the people mouths on the DVD. Don’t buy from them. I wish I trusted other negative reviews instead I trusted it because it looked trustworthy.

Service was spot on! – The staff could not have been more helpful as I was looking for a very rare film...The owner found it for me. The quality was spot on and the best service - thank you for bringing my memories back to life.

Not convinced this company is for real – I was really excited to find a DVD title available from this mob (who seem to already have a different website). It was cheapish and since I was paying with Paypal, I took a chance. The product arrived promptly, well packaged and looked legit. But it doesn't play beyond a couple of minutes. It could be a section so I tried skipping forward, but… Read more

it jumps whole minutes and I didn't want to spoil the story. Unsurprisingly, I've had no response from the contact email that Paypal give, or the one on the emailed order receipt, which are different. And then I found the company listed on a Piracy site: https://www.brentonfilm.com/articles/beware-of-pirates-how-to-avoid-bootleg-blu-rays-and-dvds-part-2

I guess if JB-Hi Fi can't source it, there's a reason.

No communication – I have tried to contact these people and have had no reply. I paid for my DVDs on the 12 April and it is now mid May. No DVDs and no reply to my email regarding the delay Not happy.

Avoid at all costs – WARNING ALERT. We bought a copy of The Shiralee. The disc itself was of poor quality and it froze while playing so we do not know the films conclusion. No reply came when we complained several times of the fault. A great vanishing act has occurred. When playing the disc TCM (Turner Classic Movies) watermark appears. I wonder where these movies are sourced. Avoid this Company at all costs.

Rare and Collectible DVDs. Mistaken identity – I wrote a review on April 18, under the name of Tobias. R and C DVDs has contacted me since. It turns out that there was been a confusion in names for the email address Visa gave me was not for the company I wished to contact -- it's in the States, not Australia. R and C DVDs has been most helpful and patient with me. I do not wish my earlier… Read more

review to disadvantage it in anyway, and therefore request you delete it as it is unfair to R and C DVDs.

Not What's Advertised – I too was very excited to find a movie title I'd been searching for for years. I contacted [name removed] in advance to make sure it would the dvd would play on USA devices and was assured it would. Received the movie in very short order, considering the distance. The dvd would NOT play in our first player. We tried the second player. Oh, it… Read more

played alright - terrible copy! Can barely see the images as they jump and are fuzzy and foggy. The sound blips on and off. I realized I didn't get the professional dvd I was expecting but some kind of bad copy from perhaps a tv showing of the movie, or worse. Tried three times to contact [name removed]/Rare & Collectible DVDs. NOTHING. Next recourse is to report this to my Visa as a scam. That's what I call selling something under false pretenses.

Longed for Mini Series of old – I thought I would never see the mini series 'Against the Wind' and 'Sara Dane' ever again. I recall I loved these back when I was a teenager in the late 70s, back when John English was still a bit of a hunk. After his death recently, I went in search. I found just what I wanted, in stock, and in my possession within the week (even with Easter in… Read more

the middle). My husband and I are delighted to have these series to follow in the evenings. Couldn't wait and watched the first episode of Sara Dane last night.

What happened to them??? – Our first experience was fine. They were very helpful and informative and we received our goods in record time. Then we enquired about more DVD's and everything seemed to be fine. We were advised it may take up to a week as some titles were special orders, but it has now been over a month since we have heard from them. We have been trying to… Read more

contact them since - with no correspondence, whatsoever. It's like they've disappeared off the face of the earth?

Experience viewing pleasure – At last a DVD site that delivers quality viewing, reliable service, attention to detail, fabulous replacement and an incredible collection of titles to choose from. Have dealt with Rare & Collectible DVDs several times and will continue to do so. Thank you for sharing your site.

Cheap Reliable DVD Store – I was unsure that this place was legitimate but I got all the goods that were ordered. All products are region-free and unavailable anywhere else. They also have international shipping & were able to deliver in a peak period in 5 business days, domestic shipping is just as fast. Third time I've purchased from them, and never had a problem.
