Buyer Beware. It's hard to stress that enough with a company
like this. Do a quick google search for "tvaddicts.tv complaints"
and you'll know what I'm talking about. This so called company
has several pseudonyms such as:
TVDVDPlanet.com
Direct Media
dvdavenue.tv
DVDCraze.tv
TVDVDMania.tv
TVonDisc.com
www.raredvds.tv
They also trade on Ebay.com under these known nicks:

I originally came across this company looking for the
Duckman box set and found a great deal on
for only $44 US. I got suspicious when I went to the
order page and encountered this:
"Your IP address is : xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx - and it will be recorded in our databases."
Luckily the logged IP address was incorrect, but this
page was asking me for my personal information and was
not a secured site. Anyone shopping online should be
looking for such clues. Reading through the complaints
already available online, most consumers have encountered
a plethora of problems on all the afore mentioned sites.
Many of which are no longer in business. Just from reading
the reviews it appears to be a bootleg/pirate organization
feeding off of ill informed online buyers. Several reports
claim the company to be based in Russia and several more
report the company to be based in Canada. Either way, I luckily
have not sent these people any money. I only hope this review
reaches would be buyers, lets get the word out and shut this scam down.
Following is domain registration information on the few
sites that are still in operation. Some including contact
info for those who have already been burned by this so called
corporation:
