Zeus DVDs

I purchased DVDs and several were defective, and they did not respond to requests to replace or refund. No response at all. A very disreputable company. Buy your DVDs somewhere else. BEWARE.

I give them a zero if it was possible

I placed my order for a copy of Song of the South on July 07,2019.

To date I have not gotten any responses, no apologies, no dvd, no refund, nothing. I've reached out through the website and e-mail several times. At this point I am considering this site a scam.

Ordered 3 movies which took 8 days to receive, 1 of 5. The dvds were marked with the movie titles readable through the window of the paper sleeves they were shipped in, no cases, 0 of 5. The pictured items showed, when ordered, cases as did status update emails. This is an unlawful act, which needs immediate correcting. Unscrupulous site, RUN don't walk away from them. Meager savings don't warrant the risk.

I sent for the film The Secret of My Success, and ordered it August 15. I read the reviews on this site, but waited, and November 9, my DVD arrived. It was obviously copied from TCM, but was very good quality and I enjoyed the film, as I'd been waiting to see it since 1966. There are no additional features, but I'm satisfied with the copy. It is a no-frills outfit, but I got my money's worth. Zeus seems to offer a lot, and they probably need to hire more people or explain that they take a lot of time. It feels like some guy in a basement is doing all the work. I'd probably order one film at a time, and not several, as some people have done.

Out of print and out of copyright stuff is all here. You can order a really bad copy off ebay from some "collector" where the movie is shaky af and double exposed, OR you can order from Zeus, and the same movie will be much better quality than the ebay people. Now, a lot of these are quite old, and were not well preserved. The "studio" copy of "damsel in distress" comes to mind. But there they are, available, because one guy is pumping out the out of print stuff.

The reason you see so many bad reviews is that all those movies are out of print for a reason, Hollywood does not want them in circulation. Maybe the reason is the star had a falling out with a studio bigwig, maybe they were considered "boring" 20 years after release. Who knows?

I have now gotten 5 movies from Zeus, and they work fine, the first 2 took a little longer than expected, but it appeared to be more of a problem with the USPS than Zeus. I recommend Zeus highly. Some great older movies!

His Bodyguard was a good movie, I was hesitant with ordering the burned copy but was pleasantly surprised. However the darn writing was showing on the bottom of the screen, its king of annoying, you pay 13.99 on a movie and they cant even get the disclaimer off the screen. The dvd works with most dvd players but does not work on acer laptops or hp desktops. Works fine on my Sony blu/dvd player. I wore out the movie after 6 years I ordered a new copy a few days ago.

It's $9.99/dvd starting out, then after awhile they send codes for half off. Either way it's $4 flat rate to ship one or several dvds. They sent me 2 dvds in a big 15x20 padded envelope, surprisingly one of them still played, couldn't reach zeus by any advertised available method for assistance, credit card company said they would remove the charge and try to resolve, but if they didn't hear from zeus the charge would be restored- and it was! - so zeus is rewarded for doing nothing, but suddenly you realize they do what they want --for half price and no case and no artwork it's tough noogies what happens. So whatever. I try not to use them but i don't have an alternate sometimes.

I ordered the Movie Smokey, then I checked the reviews and thinking I would never get it...But to my surprise I received an e-mail saying it had been shipped, and it did come and quickly...It was a copied version...

I ordered Come On Be Happy as I had previously enjoyed watching it on TubiTV. It arrived within five days from order. I noticed that the disc was not in a hard case but a standard blank DVD envelope. I loaded it into my DVD player, The picture was good, not what you'd expect from a studio release. I also noticed the logo for Encore TV in the lower right corner of the screen. This is an obvious save on a DVR and later burned to DVD. The DVD is not available from Amazon or other reputable sellers. Had I known that this seller deals in pirated video, I would have given Zeus a hard pass.

There was no response from Zeus DVD to my request about what was happening with my order. I contacted my credit card company to cancel payment, which they did. But, I would have preferred to have recieved what I ordered.
UPDATE: After receiving an email that my order had been sent 9/13/2021, I did finally reveive it on 11/12/2021. Now I should contact my credit card company to reverse the credit.
I realize that this sort of company is not selling a quality product, many of their DVD's being copied from TV. One of the DVD's, 1935's "Hold 'em Yale", was of acceptable quality. The other, 1937's "Hold 'em Navy" was almost unwatchable. It had apparently been recorded on a VCR on its last legs from a TV program "Sports Theater."
I will still leave my rating at one star.If I were feeling generous I could update to 1 1/2.

I ordered 5 DVD movies from this so called 'business' on Dec. 18 - They were never shipped but the thief, "Milo" (don't think it's his real name) grabbed the money and disappeared.
The location of his business is a (shady) post box service in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. I guess he checks his mailbox only at night! There are a few positive reviews here which may have been submitted by himself or paid by him.

I've ordered now several hard to find movies from Zeus. The prices are more than fair, and the movies have all arrived at my home quickly. I'm very pleased with this service.

Ordered 2 DVDs in April 19, then another a little over a month ago. No response to emails asking about status yet he sends out regular promotional emails advertising his latest specials, some even offering half off. As much as I wanted these out of print DVDs, I won't be ordering any more again and after reading all the other complaints, I'll be calling my credit card company tomorrow. "Retired" is no excuse for stealing people's money, and he's obviously paying someone decent bucks to put together his in depth profiles of featured films. If you're having that much trouble filling orders, hire some help. Can't stand thieves...

After spending $20.00 for 2 dvds, i became suspicious of Zeus' e-mail responses, and checked this site. Since the reviews were bad as you can see, i notified visa about my probable loss. I was shocked when 3 weeks after my order the dvds appeared in my mailbox. The no frills packaging consisted of small jewel cases wrapped in packing. I played them immediately and they were both clear, sharp copies that had the TCM logo emblazoned about half way through. This is not a first class operation, and i won't tempt fate again, but this time i got my money's worth. Curmudgeon
