I ordered a dvd at the start of September and it never arrived
I ordered a dvd at the start of September and it never arrived. Following the 28 days i emailed moviebytes and they promptly replied and asked me to be patient due to the postal strike. I waited a furthwer two weeks and emailed again asking for the refund. They promised they would send it out again and told me it was on it's way. Two weeks later I emailed them again as it had still not been delivered and they have completely ignored all subsequent emails asking for a refund.

Wrong product
I ordered what I thought was a Disney DVD of Beauty and the Beast when i opened it it was a copy (not genuine as stated) of Snow White and seven dwarfs. When I went back on line to follow up the complaint the web addresses for support to make a complaint was not valid so I've no way of getting either my money back or a replacement as it states when ordering.

Fraudsters
As with all these others I have had a similarly bad experience with Moviebytes. I ordered 4 DVD's from them on 21 June to the tune of nearly £50. When I hadn't received anything by 15 july I emailed them and they responded very apologetically to say all items posted on the 23 June had been lost in the post and they had sent duplicates as a precaution. I then waited until 5 August and emailed them again and they said the goods were on their way. On 17 Aug I contacted them yet again and they responded to say that my delivery had been returned to them as uncalled for as I hadn't been in to sign for the goods. Again they were quite apologetic so I wasn't particularly suspicious and stupidly I agreed to let them have a 3rd try at sending the items. I then contacted them on 16 Sept and subsequently on 21 Sept with no response. I then found this website and read all the other posts about this site and realised I've been royally ripped off - unable to claim via Paypal as the time elapsed is too long and I paid on my Switch card so cannot claim any of the money back :( I contacted my local trading standards office about them to see if anything could be done but they have checked an apparently the website is registered in Singapore, even though it has co.uk address, so there is absolutely nothing they can do...

Scammers and thieves
I ordered 4 so called 'Lion King Special Edition' DVDs from this website, i waited almost 3 weeks for them to be delivered and when they finally arrived there was only one for a start so 3 were missing. Also it was fake! It had a cover that i could have printed on my home printer and the discs were bashing around inside the case leaving them scratched. I also noticed they had been dispatched from THAILAND!

Having contacted customer service i was firstly told to read the terms and conditiond abruptly, then i tried paypal with no success as i didnt buy it directly via ebay they have washed their hands of it and now i am being ignored by the website itself! No money back no apology, nothing!!

Products never received
Similar to a number of complaints about this company, ordered DVD's that were never received. Luckily I checked out this website and immediately went through the complaints procedure on Paypal and received my money back.

DVD order never received
I ordered some children's DVD's on 7 May 2009. When the order had not arrived after 25 days, as advised by the moviebytes.co.uk website, I contacted them. They insisted that I get in touch with the local sorting office. Major hassle, but of course nothing there, moreover the post office will only keep undelivered items for a maximum of 15 days. They reasonably promptly on 11/6 motified me that the order has been re-sent. To date 13/7/2009 nothing has arrived, and moviebytes.co.uk has not answered any of my e-mails. Since there is no phone number on their website, there is no other way to contact them. Although I had paid by PayPal, it has now been more than 45 days and I may be too late to file a complaint through PayPal. I now believe the whole moviebytes operation is a scam, and apparently being based in Thailand, is probably just an offshoot of some boilerroom operation with only one aim: to defraud its customers. I will file a complaint with PayPal and insist that they drop them as a vendor. I believ that the 25 day waiting period for contacting them as stated on their website is specifically aimed at busting the 45 day PayPal deadline, with one round of 'order has been re-sent'.

Sell fake Dvd's
Purchased Greys Anatomy Season 4 on DVD from MovieBytes.co.uk. When is arrived it was obvious that it had been recorded off TV. Contacted Movies Bytes by email to inform that the DVD was fake. They would offer a full refund upon receipt of the returned DVD, however Moviebytes have not issued any refund. Nor can they confirm that they have received the DVD. Due to the location of the company being in Thailand, it was difficult to ensure that the DVD was returned successfully.

Rip off and misleading
My story is, alas, the same as all those which have gone before. Paid upfront (through PayPal, thank goodness) and waited 25 days, per the website's request.

Nothing arrived, at which point I contacted moviebytes' customer service (such as it is) and, in fairness, received a quick response explaining that 99% of their deliveries were made on time and that this was extremely diasappointing for them. I now find this hard to believe and suspect that non-delivery is probably the norm with this outfit.

It was at this point that moviebytes.co.uk glibly stated that the goods were coming from Thailand, which is categorically NOT stated on their website. When I cited this as an issue, the fact that I received nothing suddenly became completely incidental as they took umbrage that I was challenging the DVDs integrity. Apparently, this was covered in their terms and conditions.

I know how tempting the prices on the website are, and they have done well to get top billing when certain keywords are entered into the world's favourite search engine, but these cowboys need to be avoided like the plague.

FYI - claims can be made through PayPal within 45 days of making payment, therefore moviebytes.co.uk's requirement that customers wait 25 days does not cause a particular problem in this regard.

Scammers
Ordered Season 4 Greys Anatomy and when it arrived from Thailand it is blantently a copy, bad quality and a wallpaper backed DVD box. The DVD does not play correctly and is jumpy and awful quality. The company are soooooooo rude when replying to emails deflecting the issue, trying to rely on their terms and conditions and trying to avoid the issue that the item is not real. I have asked for their address which they won't give and ignore my requests for a refund. Luckily I used Paypal so have instigated a claim with them to get my money back. They also tried to direct me to a website regarding fake disney films where people aparently discuss their "real" imported DVDs and how they look fake. This has obviously been created by moviebytes to avoid claims and their emails are designed to prolong your attention probably so you miss the claim limit time with Paypal and they get to keep their money that they have extorted from you in exchange for goods that probably cost them about £1 to make. Please do not buy from this company, the upset it causes is not worth the savings!
