"I bought a DVD Box Set from them of Desperate Housewives. It is in a professional looking package and is labeled as Season 1-7 The Complete Edition. Problem is, most of the DVD's are not region 1 as advertised, so they won't play in American DVD players. The discs that do play have a local network logo in the bottom on the screen (indicating they were recorded off TV). I have contacted ABC, who has indicated that this is not even a legitmate box set that was ever released by ABC. I have filed a dispute through PayPal to get my money back. This company is the biggest scam - BEWARE!"
"fun tv shop was fantastic i found exactly what i needed and it was at a great price, the process of ordering was easy and my package arrived quickly with no problems i would recomend this company "
"I received a pirate box set, they agreed to refund and I had no refund. Totally ripped of! STAY AWAY!"
"very good service, my order arrived quick, will use them again and again"
"The item was as described, and excellent communication. I'll reccomend you in the future"
"If you're planning to buy from FunTVShop consider reading reviews on http://www.sitejabber.com/reviews/www.funtvshop.com and http://www.bbb.org/greater-san-francisco/business-reviews/internet-selling-services/fun-tv-shop-in-santa-rosa-ca-370271.
I purchased a boxset remastered Star Trek Voyager S1-7 which are obviously pirated copies. Several DVDs freeze and reveal pixels where there shouldn't be any if the DVDs were originals. Have requested a refund through paypal.
The above review from BBB in USA revealed that FunTvShop do not have a physical address in USA or Oz. FunTvShop have certainly lost any credibility for me and am contemplating reporting them for producing pirated goods.
I emailed them direct and have yet to receive a response from them, however as I paypal'd the transaction, I feel confident I'll receive a response through paypal.
Completely unreliable company to deal with."
"Excellent site. Saved some money, got exactly what I wanted and on time, couldn't have been simpler. Thanks."
"I ordered 4 boxsets of dvd's for my 3 kids christmases. I paid on the 30th of November but due to the very bad weather they did not arrive in time for christmas. I was very annoyed about this but you can't help the weather. I got them on the 1st week in January and kids are happy. I must say Maria Ramos the sales manager Was great. She replied to all my emails and kept me informed, she also arranged a discount for me because I had received them after a lengthy delay. I bought from FUNTVSHOP in 2009 and had no trouble and I would have had the same service if it had not been for the terrible weather. I will buy from again. Thanks for all your assistance Maria."
"i thought the price was too good to be true, and it was. apparently i received a notice on my door that my item was in; however, i was unaware of this until, after hearing nothing for several weeks, i checked on the status and was told it had already been shipped back to china. CHINA!!! luckily, i was able to find the item somewhere else and still get it in time for christmas. i will never order from funshop again!"
"I ordered "That 70 Show" box set for my hubby for Christmas. I ordered on Black Friday b/c they were offering a GREAT discount on boxed sets. It was getting close to Christmas and my order was not in yet. I contacted Fun TV Shop and they were very kind to resend my order (it had been delayed due to the weather). It arrived 2 days before Christmas-FANTASTIC....
BUT now that we have had the chance to start watching the dvds, we are having lots of problems with them. They don't play well and freeze up. We are very UPSET!!! We are able to get through most of the episodes but we have to watch them on our son's portable Dvd player.
We think that the dvds are burned too quickly (bad replications) and our US dvd players have a hard time reading them properly.
I have tried to contact funtvshop for replacements or a refund but have not heard back.
As of right now I am VERY DISAPPOINTED and would really like my MONEY BACK!!! So much for trying to save a little money. Every time we sit down to watch some of the episodes I am very embarrassed by the quality of gift that I got my Hubby. I will NOT BUY FROM FUN TV SHOP AGAIN."
"Ordered the full 7 seasons of Two and a Half Men. Parts didn't play well on my DVD player, but most were fixed with new Blue-Ray replacement. Biggest beef is two of the seasons (4 and 7) look like they were copied off a TV screen (Network logo in bottom corner and pop-ups for what program followed constantly coming up or displayed). Also bad quality video on those DVDs and several seasons didn't have extra features or display full program (credits).
Would have returned product but return window too small for watching 7 seasons of a TV show. Lesson learned, get what you pay for. Wouldn't say my overall rating would be very dissatisfied more than very disappointing. Currently replacing slipshod seasons from other vendors."
"Very easy purchase and transaction. "
"Purchase Family Guy DVD boxed set which were copies, did get a full refund once I raised a dispute via paypal. However did not get reimbursed for posting item back which left me £10 out of pocket. Buyer beware!"
"Very good service. The shipping was fast and the product if of good quality. The prices were very competitive. Would deal with this company again."
"Very unimpressed. I bought what, according to their website, was a genuine dvd series, only to find they were pirated copies. When I requested a refund they claimed they were not illegal but "licenced copies", & offered me money to to keep them. I have since received another email again denying they're illegal & offering a higher financial incentive to keep them! Very poor business practices. Buyer beware, unless you're actually wanting to buy pirated movies."
