To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience.

However, some people mentioned issues with delivery times being slower than expected, even for paid services, or items being dispatched later than anticipated.

I went into the store deliberately

I went into the store deliberately, when not a lot of people were in…I have a brain injury and real staff at a sales venue really helps. I buy DVD’s regularly. Particularly queer ones. The staff always find me relevant and good quality films to watch. Are friendly, patient and knowledgeable.

Just what I was looking for - efficient delivery. Not cheap but it’s a niche product so I expected that.
