ZoverstocksReviews of zoverstocks.com

* Ive used the bulk of my review for musicMagpie as my opinions are very similar about Zoverstocks * Ive bought many items for Zoverstocks over the years, via their ebay and Amazon accounts. I have a love/hate relationship with companies like this ( And places like musicMagpie and CEX (online) etc ) they buy items in dirt cheap and sell them off pretty cheap too. ( Recycling stock they call it nowadays I think! ) I buy mainly cd's, dvd's, blu rays or games if I come across something I fancy for a good price. But, its a mixed bag. Sometimes Ive received the items in tip top condition and Im very happy. Other times Ive had a multitude of problems with items. Over the years Ive had items come through that weren't the version/release advertised, wrong discs in the case, and more regularly, extremely tatty items IE: hugely scratched discs/ripped or water damaged covers and booklets etc Now I appreciate that a lot of the items I get are 'low cost' items at £5 odd or so, but I still think they need to tighten up on their quality checks. A few weeks back I bought several cd's from them. I would say only one ( out of 5 items ) was in an acceptable sell-able condition...even though each one was listed on ebay as 'Very Good' condition. The majority of cd's I got were heavily scratched, most had tracks which wouldn't play or skipped constantly. All of the cases were damaged or cracked in some way or another, and all but 2 of the covers had damaged to them. I did complain about the first one I received ( Even though I ordered several, they all came through separately ) and I got a refund. When the others started arriving I just couldn't be bothered to complain as the first one took a while to get a refund - (They didn't even contact me about it, I just received a notification from ebay saying the item had been refunded) and to send all of them back would have cost almost as much as what I paid for them. Its almost as if companies like this think that because an item is low cost, its acceptable for it to be sent out in a tatty, cr@ppy condition. If cosmetic damage doesn't bother you its less of an issue. But as with my film/game collection, I do like the cases etc to be in a good, tidy condition. I will continue to buy from them time to time, as Im drawn in by their low prices, but like I said its a mixed bag. You'll either get a great condition item, or possibly a tatty one. You'll only know when the package arrives!

I've been using Zoverstocks for several years and bought dozens and dozens of CD's. They always deliver quickly and when a problem arises (and I've only had a couple) they sort it out quickly with no fuss. I can thoroughly recommend to anyone.

They used to be very good but over the past few months I've had problems so won't be bothering further. The blu Ray's are described as 'very good' but quite often the cases are broken, discs scratched with fingerprints all over them. Received 2 wrong items a few weeks ago and it's taken 3 weeks to get a response.

I have ordered a lot of items from this company over the years. Initially they were fantastic and I didn't have a bad word to say about them. Price was great, product very good, and delivery was ok, but when you're getting good prices that's acceptable. However, over the past few months there have been numerous incidents that now make me try to avoid them where possible. I have received incorrect items and editions on numerous occasions. Also, a few times, the condition of items has been very disappointing. When you're purchasing something "very good", you don't expect to find rips on covers and items generally in a grubby condition. The despatch process now can also be slow on occasion. You don't expect to wait a week before they manage to send your order, and then another week for it to arrive. You can get delivery from the US quicker than that. It's unfortunate and disappointing, as I used to buy a lot of CD's from them, but price isn't everything if you're not getting the service. There are plenty of others out there now doing the same.

I ordered a movie with region code PAL because im from europe, the movie arrives and the cover of the movie is from a PAL version, but its the wrong movie inside the cover and the region code is US... NOT OK!!! NEVER BUY FROM THEM!!!!!!!!

Never had an issue with them. Used absolutely loads of times and are great.

I've only ever bought from Zoverstocks via Amazon and have never had any problem with anything second hand I've bought from them. The description of the condition has always been nearly perfectly accurate. My only minor gripe is the speed of turn round to despatch the order and delivery. The process takes a day or two longer than other second hand retailers but that's only minor.

I have not ever yet had a bad DVD movie, Audio CD, nor games disc, from Zoverstocks. They have provided exactly what they said on their description, and even when I've ordered a 'good' second-hand CD, DVD or game disc, its always been well packaged, delivered in good time, & been exactly as the writing has described it. 'playable' means just that, some visible marks, but nothing that stops the disc from playing well on good equipment.
