I have ordered a considerable amount of my physical media collection from GRUV and have loved their quality, their sales, and speed of delivery. However, I will no longer purchase from their website until they switch delivery services. I, like other reviewers, have had negative experiences with UNIUNI on my past few deliveries and it's soured me on ordering from GRUV. Package was delayed multiple times, incorrect updates on shipping, and when delivered, tossed casually against concrete (didn't result in damage on my order, but can see where others could potentially be). If GRUV stops utilizing this delivery service, they can have my business back. Until then, other suppliers it is.

They have cheap prices but it shows in their shipping. I’ve ordered multiple Steelbooks and they advertise that every steelbook will be sent in a specialized steelbook “Gruv Guard” box protector. I have never received one of these protective boxes and instead it’s always a crappy bubble mailer. They just straight up lie on their website. Another time I bought 2 copies of the 4k Day of the dead limited edition slip box which can be easily damaged and should be sent in a box…..they sent those in a larger cheap bubbler mailer and I returned them because they arrived damaged. Liars and incompetent. The only thing they have going for them is cheap prices.

They need a better shipper.
I have overall had a good experience finding deals on Gruv, but my primary complaint comes from their shipper. UniUni has on numerous occasions failed to deliver my package, or just left it sitting in their warehouse. I would rather pay an additional cost to ship my blu-rays via USPS or UPS just to avoid using this vendor. As a result I cannot in good conscience recommend Gruv to a physical media collector.

Overrated Company
This company has gotten plugged by numerous YouTube phys media collector channels I've watched and it's obvious Gruv is PAYING these commentators for plugs. Now, I didnt have a BAD experience,but not one that makes me want to come back. I started an account bc they said 20% off your first order. Ordered Creed and the first Mortal Kombat Legends movies on 4k. Low prices. I knew these movies would maybe NOT come with slipcovers but thought maybe id get lucky. Well, it took like a week for the items to arrive which is already too long, and once they did they didn't have slipcovers, but were also those sort of "returned" or warehouse overetick copies you see at Best Buy Black Friday sales sometimes. With the shrink wrap plastic wrapping masquerading as brand new, and not the "y-fold" wrap you would normally have. Also, those annoying wrinkles on the front cover art and plastic that forms on thin cheap eco cases sometimes (collectors know what I mean). Then i opened up one movie and the 4k disc had actual scuffs on it, like it was used and fell on someone's carpet or something. Weird. I rubbed them off with my cotton shirt and thankfully the disc played fine.
Anyway, aside from the cheap (possibly returned) copies i got, Gruv just has a very limited, bad title selection on their site, especially for collectors. Just your run of the mill mainstream first-run Hollywood movies. Barely any sort of cult or horror flicks.
Just a lame site. Try DeepDiscount instead. They aren't perfect but FAR better than Gruv.

I ordered The Batman in 4k and got the movie 300 in 4k which is a movie I did eventually want to get so. I have ordered The Batman in 4k again and also ordered Doom in 4k. We will see. Stay tuned.
Doom and The Batman arrived.
