Do not buy anything from here ! I have made the mistake of doing so with along of many others there is no return address to get a refund or an exchange and most likel;y your going to need one. According to others the items you get from this company either do not play at all or the are bad recording from the television. Do not waste your time or money! If anyone has more information on this matter please let me know i feel like i need to take legal action. [protected]@hotmail.com

I got a return address! Supposedly as soon as you let kathy connor (Storediscsmania@gmail.com) know that you've sent the dvd back via regular registered mail, your account will immediately be credited (Minus shipping charges). I looked up usps website & it looks like it's $10.60 to ship an item this way. Here's the address:

Name : lin sx
Address (Street) : guangzhou shi san yuan li 57 hao

I ordered the complete set of secret agent man aka danger man, which are 18 DVDs and marketed in the US. What i received was 13 pirated copies all bundled in paper sleeves in one large plastic case with hand labeled cd labels(eg 1, 2, 3. When confronted, Kathy from support desk mentioned and i quote
Please keep in mind an Official DVD Collection has never been released for this series and what you recxeived was a Collectors/Fan Version" which is guess is thier companies way of say illegally copied material.
The label on the outer case clearly states 18 DVDs but the Chinese pirate only included 13.
I havew the option after several e-mails of returning it to China registered mail at my expense to get a refund less their postage.
All in all, i get to pay twenty hard earned Americxan dollars for nothing but a cheap attempt on Planet DVD Store to make money selling inferior and illegal merchandise.

I ordered third watch form this company and have already been charged for it and it has been deducted from my checking account and I haven't ever recived the dvd's I orderd. I have tried e-mailing them and they won't return my e-mails, in fact I had a notice that said failure to send email that the email adddress had been disconnected. Is there any way to get a class action lawsuit stared againest this company for all of those who have lost their money.

I thought this was illegal? Where is Interpol? These DVDs are both Recorded from TV and/or Copied from DVDs. I bought The Twilght Zone here because it was 75% off. They still made a killing because it cost them about $2 to copy the DVDs. The DVDs were in plastics sleeves all loose inside of these cases that were the size of VHS cases. This place is Ripping you off! Don't buy anything from them. The First thing to look for is in the CONTACT Section... the only contact is by e-mail, Not Legit! Back to the 'ol Cliche, "if it sounds too good to be true it probably is"!

I ordered complete seasons of Scarecrow and Mrs. king and Hart to Hart tv series. Dvds were poorly copied and edited. Dvds had Hallmark identified on them, commericals partially deleted and blue screen (blank areas), also very grainy ( poor resolution). Product came from China, invoice was in Chinese except for my mailing address. Also no information as how to return product if necessary. I am very disappointed due to no where on DvD Planet Store website did it indicate product was reproduced in China. I ordered new not used Dvds. I will not order from this company again. I hope everyone else will read these complaints before buying from Planet DvD Store, I wish I had.

I ORDERED A TV SERIES "COLLECTION" FROM THIS WEBSITE. WHEN I FINALLY RCVD THE PRODUCT, I REALIZED THAT THEY WERE RECORDED FROM THE TV, NOT IN ANY KIND OF CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER, & MISSING ABOUT 1/2 OF THE EPISODES. THE DVD'S ARE HANDWRITTEN ON & THE QUALITY IS PISS POOR TO SAY THE LEAST. I HAVE SENT AN EMAIL EVERY DAY SINCE AUG 30TH, SOMEONE NAMED KATHY IS RESPONDING BACK EACH TIME. BUT I KEEP ASKING FOR THE RETURN ADDRESS TO SEND THEM BACK & SHE'S IGNORING THE QUESTION. SHE IS PUSHING TO DO A $60 PARTIAL REFUND IF I WANT TO KEEP THE DVDS. I WANT MY ENTIRE $131.95 BACK. ANY SUGGESTIONS ON WHAT TO DO? DOES ANYONE HAVE A PHONE # OR RETURN ADDRESS?

I wished that I had read your complaints before helping my 73 yrs old mother place an order. This company is a complete rip off. DO NOT BUY FROM THEM.
The first clue should have been that they do not have a phone number posted on their website for customer service. Then after I emailed them THREE times as to the status of my mothers order, they finally reply stating order was on the way. After I read all the complaints, I told my mother that it was best to try and get her $$ back from the bank and refuse the order IF it was ever delivered. She did just that.
A few days ago, the packages were delivered with no company name on them but it did have Chinese writing all over the package. My mother refused the packages and we guess they are on a slow boat back to China! FRAUDS!

I ordered a Carol Burnett Boxed Set and weeks later got a copied, grainy and awful copy from TVLand (icon is on the DVD) The box came from China with no return address and wasn't pictured as advertised and the DVD's were all handmade! So far they email back but are giving me the run around with returning the product or refunding my money! I have proceeded to take legal action and am continuing to be in touch with them as they return my emails...

Yep, same here...paid for two DVD series. First one came...about 10 disks no good...
second order came day later, guess what, WRONG order! Cheaper series than the one I ordered. Very old T.V show called, How To Marry A Millionaire...don't want it! Paid more for the one I actually ordered. No response to many, many e-mails sent out regarding this terrible service...I don't know how to get justice here, no way to contact them other than the e-mail provided on their website. There should be a way to make them responsible for the merchanidse they send out. Disgusted from Canada.

I too got ripped off. All seasons of Petticoat Junction on 31 DVD's when it came from China it was on 68 DVD's, numbered in ball point pen, some DVD's would not play, the black and white seasons are terrible quality. The others have commercials like being taped from television. It was not at all what I expected. I guess the only thing to do is chalk it up to experience and let other know this company does not deliver what it advertises. Someone should stop them from profiting off of false advertising and terrible goods.

mailed-by gmail.com

hide details 4:47 PM (9 minutes ago)

recieved the "dvd set". First, it only has 9 DVD's, the back of the "collection" case you sent them in specifically lists 11 total dvd's that should be in it, second, 3 of the 9 dvd's will not play at all, and most of them are missing 3-4 episodes each. You are falsely advertising and selling this collection.
I am posting this email, your previous emails, and photos of the collection including links to your website to a webpage displaying your dishonesty, as well as to the FCC and the registered trademark holder of the DVD's. I did not, nor would I have purchased this collection believing that these shows were "ripped" from live station broadcasts, though after reviewing your site, I see that "CAVEAT EMPTOR" implies. LET THE BUYER BEWARE.

If I trusted you to send me a refund, I would ship these back to you.

I do not.

I ordered the Wayans Bros all 5 seasons I opened the case and the Dvd's where numbered with a pen the print was cheap looking all 18 DVD'S Where like this. I play them and some play for a while and then they just stop almost all of them did this and some didn't play at all. Then I look in the bottom right hand side of the tv and realised they are recorded direct from the BET NETWORK. There is no phone number to call back, no answer to emails I sent them. What kind of company is this. These people need to be in jail where they belong and return every dime of my money back. How can someone get away with this.
I'M SO MAD RIGHT NOW BUT WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND.

I bought a box set of dvds for a friend and they all turned out to be junk. Some of them don't play and to make matters worse they are all recorded from TV. I got all my money back after complaining to them and now i am looking into blocking my debit card since i don't trust them no more. Something should be done to put these people out business.

Personal opinion is that this company is in violation of all the COPY RIGHT laws and
it is based out of a chop shop in CHINA and the company is located in NICOSIA (island
off of Greece) phone # is [protected]. You might as well throw the money out the window as they also will ruin your credit. I had communiction with them regarding an incomplete dvd set, no labeling, extremely poor packaging and shipping, broken dvds, & their "refund" will not be honored or processed. DO NOT ORDER ANYTHING FROM THIS COMPANY !

Yep, definitely dispute the charges on your card. I did, got my money back (minus the $10 shipping charge that I didn't dispute) and have had no trouble since. Make sure you document all your contacts with these people, even attempted ones. Have all your ducks in a row before you dispute the charge and how you attempted to resolve the issue. My credit card company told me if they tried to recharge my card, they would fine them $50 for each event. The credit card companies are your friend in situations like these. Use them!

This has been a pretty big lesson learned for me. DO NOT do business with any internet retailer that doesn't post a phone # or physical address and if they do post the phone #, call them first to make sure its legit. Do a google search on the company before placing an order. If I had done that before my purchase, I would have found this site and the numerous complaints filed against this company. Lifes too short to stress over dealing with ###s such as these.

Having read the opinions given, I've concluded that the following and not limited to (Coopers DVD, DVDmania, DVD world) are in fact the same "store".The DVD jacket graphics are a dead give away.Don't try to fight the company by conventional means. Contact you credit card issuer, ask to speak to a security rep. and tell them that an act of Internet fraud has been comitted.they will guide you thru the rest, and don't forget to dispute the charges. The Credit card issuer will have a physical address for the recipient of your money. :-) Then notify your local post office and file a mail fraud claim.The DVD's are pirated (no one connected with the show will ever receive a penny in royalties) and are being shipped by the US postal service they will know how to contact the party in question. Remember always pay by Credit Card, Then make the ### earn their money and protect yours. :-)

File complaints against those ###s at http://www.ic3.gov/default.aspx, that being the U.S. Government Internet Crime Center. Additionally, go to the bank that issued your credit or debit card and ask them to backcharge the money you paid for subpar or non-received merchandise.

BE CAREFUL ! WITH ANOTHER SITE "COOPERS DVD STORE" AT COOPERSJD.COM
I WAS BUY A DVD COLLECTION. THE SITE LOOKED PREETY SUSPICIOUS TO ME, AND AS I PLACED THE ORDER, AT THE RIGHT BOTTOM CORNER, WHERE THERE IS A MASTER CARD LOGO, IT READS "COPYRIGHT PLANET DVD STORE".
SO I GESS THEY ARE THE SAME GUYS, WITH A DIFERENT SITE.

Please DO NOT confuse DVD PLANET with PLANET DVD -they are TWO different companies.

I've ordered through DVD PLANET and they are fine... I searched complaints and reviews for PLANET DVD because I had not heard of them and did not believe that DARIA or THE LUCY SHOW had ever been released on DVD and they somehow had the entire seasons available and no other company in the whole world had them. I knew they were not legit due to that.

Again DVD PLANET is a reliable company and I can personally vouch for them. I've ordered many times from them.

DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS PIRATED COMPANY ...Planet Dvd. They are a scam.

They can't be touched and they know it laughing all the way to the bank. I would love to see them gone FOREVER, but who am I kidding. So they go off line for a day, maybe. Change name again, and continue ripping everyone's money. The sad part is that the majority of those taken are the elderly and the feabled.

I bought Alfred Hitchcock Presents. First of all, I was disappointed that the DVDs came in individual sleeves (2 DVDs per sleeve). I think each season should have its own case.
The numbers on the DVDs were very messy. I would have preferred to be able to write them in myself. Not all of the numbers were even right.
I was disappointed to see that the episodes weren't in order, or that there was no handy listing of the episodes. At least one episode title is incorrect. It says, "I Kill the Court." This episode, which is actually called, "I Killed the Count" is a three-parter. On disc 2, it says "I Killed the Count", but it's only part 3. I assume parts 1 & 2 are on other discs.
Lastly, the discs skip. It sometimes helps to gently blow on them, but not always.
I am really pissed off. I can't wait to see what problems come up on all of the other discs.
I just sent them an email. I will dispute the charge with the credit card company if I need to.
