I have shopped at Zoverstocks through amazon.co.uk many times. I have had no problems with Zonverstock and the times my item haven´t arrived, I have just contacted them and they have either refunded my money or send me a new product.
Only negative I can say is, that some times when I have recieved and item, it has been a little broken in the casing due to poor protection in the package.
But that is only a small issue.

Never a Problem
I am seeing all these bad reviews and wondering why. I have never had a problem with zoverstock. Obviously you wonder first due to the cheapness of the DVDS/CDs whether you would be getting a good product, but other than that I end up with all my parcels arriving on time in the despatch times they provide and other than a couple of times they are in fantastic condition. On the two occasions I have emailed to request a refund, they have apologised and issued a new product at no extra cost to me. I suppose it could be depending on where you purchase but i have always purchased via amazon.co.uk and recieved nothing but a fiance complaining at the number of bookcases full of DVDs! I Couldn't say a bad word about Zoverstocks and unless something drastic happens, they will always be my first stop. My sister has started shopping from them too and thanks me for the recommendation !

Bullies
I wanted a particular CD which zOverstocks listed on Amazon.com, but not on Amazon.co.uk. Because I particularly wanted the item I was content to pay the enormous P&P from the USA. When the item arrived, in the same post as another item ordered from zOverstocks via Amazon.co.uk, it was labelled by zOverstocks as coming from Stockport. I asked for an explanation and a refund. I got none. I took zOverstocks to the Small Claims Court. zOverstocks' reasoning is that they are unable to differentiate a UK address from any other so the unnecessary P&P was reasonable because I, as a UK resident, had ordered the item via Amazon.com, at the same time admitting that an item ordered that way from a US recipient will only attract $3.99 P&P, as opposed to the $14.95 for a UK recipient! If they can differentiate enough to decide whether to charge $3.99 or $14.95, they must be able to recognise an address. zOverstocks’ defence is, to my mind, absolute tosh and just an excuse to charge exorbitant P&P, if they can get away with it. Amazingly, zOverstocks is contesting the case! I think their “big boy” posturing is designed to frighten away any dissent. I await the decision of the court.
Another point, as others have mentioned, is that zOverstocks often does not seem to actually hold the item you have ordered. This refund business is an absolute pain. It's the item I want, not a refund, and I say that consumer pressure should be applied so that sellers must successfully supply the item listed and ordered. Blaming the non delivery on Royal Mail, or a stocking error is not good enough. How much do these people make because buyers fail to complain and just let that two or three quid failure slide because it's not worth following up? Sellers should be forced to conclude a successful transaction as a point of contractual law. A deviant in a bed sit could easily set up as a “seller” with no stock, no intention of ever supplying anything, and being super polite and full of remorse when a complaint is made over non delivery, only to make money from those who do not pursue the matter. My wife says I am mad to worry about losing around £18 on excessive P&P, but how do we stop rip off merchants if we do not exercise our hard won consumer rights?
Do not deal with zOverstocks.
Additional comment 29Apr14 - interestingly my ability to comment on many CDs ordered from zOverstocks on the Amazon site has been removed! They will do anything to avoid negative feedback.
On 17Jul14 I won my case against Zoverstocks in the Small Claims Court. They have been ordered to pay me the £18 and £25 costs. So, if you are in the UK and you pay for postage from USA, but the item comes from Stockport, tell Zoverstocks that a legal precedent now exists and they should refund the postage.
I received cash by post on 16Aug after sending a copy of the court order to Zoverstocks in Stockport. Cash by post! I ask you, should we trust or deal with a company that is so casual as to send cash in an envelope? Only £41 arrived, but I'll leave it at that.
Stay away from Zoverstocks is my advice. They are a bunch of unpleasant cowboys.

GREEDY AND SLY
I think zOverstocks are a greedy, sly company.
The company buy as Music Magpie and sell on a number of platforms, such as Amazon, Play.com and their own retail store That's Entertainment. They offer to pay pennies for a new release DVD you have just paid £10 for in ASDA. Then sell these DVDs at a higher price online. They then undercut opponents by a penny each time, so they are always the cheapest, as long as they are still making profit.
My first experience with zOverstocks was on Play.com, where I seen a DVD I was considering purchasing in HMV earlier that day for £11.99 priced at just £2.78. This was a no brainer! I purchased the item and within a couple of hours they refunded me and informed me that the item was no longer available. A few hours later it was listed again at £9.98.
I listed a DVD that they had listed for £6 for £3 as it was in Average condition. When they undercut me to £2.99 I bought there's. Again I received the same message stating I had been refunded because the item was no longer available, and again a few hours later the same item was listed at a higher price.
It seems that if someone undercuts them so they have to sell their product at an unsatisfactory amount to them, they refund. These two experiences with zOverstocks put me off for life and I haven't ordered anything from them since. They are a vile, vile company who I would not recommend to anyone at all.
