Ultimate DVD Shop Fraudulent company

I order the Judging Amy Complete Series on December 22, 2017. By December 26, 2017 the charges were already charged against my credit card. I received and email that the product would be shipped in approximately 14 days. Since them I have received numerous emails that the product is on back order and will be shipped promptly when received, unless I wish to cancel my order and get a refund. The refund link does not work - their phone number is never answered, and since I sent a rather scathing email that I want my product NOW, I haven't received any further communications from them. THIS COMPANY IS THE BIGGEST SCAM EVER. By searching around I also found that they had been scamming under the name "All Your Favorite TV Shows". I should have known this company was crap, but I was so happy to find a Christmas present that my daughter really wanted. I will never do business on the internet again with a company I have never heard of. When it looks to good to be true - - - you guessed it - - - IT IS. My sympathy to anyone else that got taken by this scam.

Order #172225 placed on 12/2/07 for 2 DVD sets; complete DVD sets of tv shows AirWolf and Street Hawk, total $166.77. This was for son's Christmas/Birthday gift. Was advised I would receive in 12-14 days. Today is 12/23/07 and I have received nothing. I've called and get a voice message machine advising to leave msg and someone would call back within 24 hours; I've left 4 messages, no call; I've sent 5 emails, no reply. I have my credit card company working on it also but I am very very unhappy with this company! Don't know what to do next... Plz smb advise!

Ordered complete That 70's Show DVD set for 89.99 on 1/11/08. My bank account was charged on 1/14/08 by Ultimate DVD Shop for amount of 111.58 (included 21.59 tax). Then received e-mail that item was backordered. After sometime I asked for an approximate date of arrival or I would cancel. They emailed back that it would only be another 5-7 days. I relented to wait the allotted time. After DVDs never arrived I went to cancel via their link on their emailed confirmation. There was no link. I tried calling on several attempts, each time with no answer or a recording saying that no one could take my call. I emailed yet again to orders@ultimatedvdshop.com to cancel my order with a letter of my discontent & disappointment in the company. That was on 2/28/08 & as of 3/5/08 I have yet to be refunded. Also on the email they sent saying that it would be 5-7 days, they denied charging the 111.58 when my bank confirms the transaction on 1/14. I should have known that the price sounded too good.

We ordered the complete series of American Dreams. Our credit card was charged immediately and we were told the product would ship 12-14 days. Then we received an "oh, we don't have it available" letter and if we wished to cancel to contact them. I sent two emails...tried all the phone numbers I had available and none of them worked. Then on the scam website I got the most current phone number from another disgruntled customer. Please make a note...the number that works is [protected].

order #170960 placed Nov 30, NEVER received but charged to my credit card immediatly. Tried calling for several weeks, left messages and emails and no response. Finally got someone today at one of the #'s and they don't speak english and refused to give an address and said the product was already shipped. I told them that I wanted a full refund because the product never arrived and was supposed to have arrived about 4 weeks ago. This company is a scam. DO NOT ORDER FROM THEM.

Yes, I too placed an order for the "CHIPS" DVD Collection and the Punky Brewster DVD collection and my credit card was charged $181.61. I have not had any success in getting my credit card refunded for the 2 Collections. I have emailed them, got on to the chat, called them and no success. I checked on 2/12/2017 to see if I could get on the chat line and it is no longer on the webpage for ultimate DVD Collections.

Ultimate DVD Shop Fraudulent company!

I was charged for the order but never received the product. E-mails are not returned and the phone number listed on the website is disconnect. For others who have also been taken by this company, I am first filing a complaint for internet fraud with http://www.ic3.gov/.

If I don't get a response/resolution from them I will try other avenues for reporting internet fraud. Companies like this should not be allowed to continue scamming people.

Ordered a box set. The web site looked good. Waited 8 weeks now. No product. Live Support says it is in the mail just check the tracking number provided. That number is invalid. They blame Canadian Post Office. The Post office told me they were a scam. Lucky for me my Credit Card canceled the order. Now I have to get a new card. They have several sister sites on the web. All appear run the same way.

I ordered Judging Amy and instead received Allie McBeal. I called and was told that I would receive my correct order soon. Never received! I can no longer contact them as they do no answer their phone or respond to my E-mails. Do not be deceived by the Ultimate DVD Shop. They are scammers.

I placed an order to this company over a year ago. After leaving countless messages on their answering machine, I did finally receive my order. However, it was bootleg and the quality was awful. I am not even sure how it could have passed through customs unnoticed. I am out over $100. Next time, I'll stick to Amazon. They are at least reliable.

Ultimate DVD Shop ultimate dvd shop scam

Ultimate dvd shop.com, tvmilk.com, dvd donkey, Allmyfavoriteshows.tv , Tvaddicts.tv, Dvdavenue.tv, dvd diesel, and dvdcraze.tvjust to name the ones I have found run by these crooks. Don't be fooled into thinking that you will get anything from these crooks is a nightmare and a slight possibility that if you should receive any merchandise from this company it will be horrible dvd's of shows recorded off of the tv. They are more than happy to admit to you on their "live chat" that the shows are recorded off of the tv and are 8 on a scale of 1-10 in quality. I have never seen any of these discs, because I was not one of the lucky ones that received the dvd's I paid for. They claim this legal, because they have a manufacturer they claim is licensed that makes them and they only sell them.

I have filed a dispute with my credit card company. (They claimed that they would give me a refund, but that hasn't happened) I also filed a report with the Motion Picture Association, and I called the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. I found an article that said 8 were arrested in Canada for pirating DVD"S. When I spoke to the police they could neither confirm or deny if they came from any of the above sites, because the hadn't been charged with a crime as of yet. He did however state that many people had complained about these kinds of sites, and that they had confiscated a lot of packages at their warehouse and the Canadian PO.

If any one has purchased any DVD's from any of these companies I hope you file a dispute with your credit card company or bank if you used a debit card as soon as possible. Part of their tactic is to stall you as long as possible so that it is too late to dispute the charges. Their "live help" person will tell you it's on the way and will probably give you a fake tracking number. When you can't track the package they will tell you the PO has probably lost it and that they will look into it. They will not answer emails in a timely manner as stated on their website (24-48hrs). They have a phone number but no one will ever return your call.

Please be warned Ultimate DVD Shop is a scam and a fraud. Please fell free to contact me if you would like anymore information.

Give Shopsmore.com a try if ordering dvd's. If they don't have it they can add it just send an email. Everything is fullfulled via amazon so items are easier to find and same low prices.

I ordered the Adventures of Young Indiana Jones. I kept e-mailing as the tracking number they gave me could not be acknowledged by Canada Post. When I did receive them they were on plain white labels. When viewing you could see they had taped them (VHS) from USA network there was no color and the quality so so poor it was hard to view. I knew I had been had. I am just now seeing how many others have the same problem.

Ordered Football Follies over a month ago. Nothing. Nothing but evidence where money was stolen from my account. You would think that if people were going to go into ANY business, that they would have SOME degree of integrity. Victimized like all the rest. I hope that Amazon drops them so that others do not fall prey to this scam artist.

What else can I say but... I got scammed from this company! This company, somehow, is "slipping through the cracks" on frauding Americans! I ordered a DVD set September 13, 2007, and when I finally received the package on November 8, 2007, instead of the DVD's, there were magazines used as a "filler"!! I singed for the package and opened it in front of my...

Ultimate DVD Shop Ultimate Dvd Shop ripped me off!

I found this company on the internet ultimatedvdshop.com and I ordered a Bob Newhart Dvd Set. I was told I would receive an email confirming my order which I never received. I ordered the dvd's on October 16th, 2007 and was told Id receive them within 12-14 business days. It is now November 1st, 2007 and I still have not received them. I tried calling the company and every time I got a recording saying that no one is available to take my call and to leave a message, that someone would get back to me.

I also tried contacting the Live chat support on their website and I received a failed delivery in my email stating that the contact was not available. Unfortunately at this time I am unable to get my money back, and I am not sure that I will be able to, but I do not want the same thing to happen to other people. Thank you for ur time and good luck to whomever is in this same situation.

This company stole my money! I placed an order on 11/21/07 (allow 12-14 days). It's 12/17/07 and they can not be contacted! I've sent e-mails, phone calls, tried their chat room, nothing! They took my money on 11/22/07 (electronic), and give me the run around for the first 10 days, when I called after 14 days, they told me my order was on back order. When I asked them to tell me who I was, what was my e-mail address, they said they can't provide that. When I asked to speak to their manager, they hung up on me.

As the rest of you, ordered merchandise, never received merchandise. Big let down for my son as they were birthday presents for him. Nearly $160.00 out the window. I did receive tracking number but no confirmation number. I hope it is just slow delivery, but tend to be skeptical as well. Beware of this site and hope all of you are able to get your money back from your financial institutions due to fraud, if it is indeed so. Valuable lesson learned I guess. Research, research, research. "Expletives!"

THEY TOOK THE MONEY FROM MY ACCOUT RIGHT AWAY AND I KEEP GETTING THE SAME REPEATING E-MAIL THAT ITS ON BACK ORDER. THEIR NUMBER KEEPS SENDING ME TO A RECORDING THAT THE PHONE IS TEMPORARLY BUSY TO CALL BACK IN A FEW HOURS. THIS IS A COMPLETE SCAM AND I ADVISE ANYONE TO STAY AWAY FROM THIS SITE. I WISH I WOULD HAVE KNOW ABOUT THIS SITE PRIOR TO MY PURCHASE

I placed an order around the 15th of December. I even received an order number and a tracking number. No dvd's though. I have tried calling, emailing and finally tried the live chat and I talked to two people and was put off. Also, I was charged more than I had agreed to pay. My daughter is an attorney and she is looking into what can be done about this, if anything. She is the one who sent me this complaint board information.

Yep, I got ripped off too. I ordered a dvd package on the 17th of Dec. I never received it and they charged my account $95.00. I also have placed numerous phone calls and they never were returned. And when you use the "Live Chat" there is someone one the other end but you know they don't care when you ask them to follow up on the order, and they say they will and get back by e-mail and they don't. This place is a scam and a big rip-off. I too am going to dispute this with my credit card company.

I placed an order with them for the Boy Meets World set just a few weeks ago. I was just noticing my order was late so i went looking online and stumbled across this complaint board. Oh how i wish i had found this site a month ago, looks like it would have saved me about 100 bucks or so. I'm slightly encouraged by Mr Thompson ( two comments up^) saying he did receive his product. I just don't see the odds of one person out of 16 on this board havind a positive experince with this seller. No offense Mr. Thompson, i'm just saying this "company" seems to have made a fake site, fake number, and fake tracking numbers... maybe they've planted a fake comment to give people like myself false hope and slow their descision to take whatever legal action that they can. So i hope my story ends like yours Mr. Thompson, in which case i will be right back to this board to apolgize to you and amend my declarations. Until this happens i beg any and everyone to save your money and stay away from ultimatedvdshop.
