On 3 occasions in the past, ordered DVDs and the results were OK. Latest order was not shipped nor claimed to be. No response to inquiries about the order. But every day get new email about new offerings supposedly available.
Drumming up new business makes no sense when existing orders cannot or will not be filled. Perhaps this "retired" Zeus person is becoming senile-- or has decided to just defraud customers.

If you read the website then you will learn that this is a retired gentleman who 's hobby of loving film had become a small business. He does this for the love of film and is helping to keep rare productions available for us. It took a few weeks but my DVD arrived and I have a gem of a ballet production that has been impossible to find for decades. I am truly grateful to this man. When we expect delivery as fast at Amazon these days, it's understandable that we can be impatient with a small business. But this man does it for the love of it. Please visit and read his website, he is doing a good thing. I'm grateful to him for his passion, I now have a production of a ballet I thought I would never see again.

Excellent Service
June 12, 2019

After reading other reviews of Zeus DVDs, I placed my order expecting I might never get my DVD. (I took the chance, as I have not been able to find the item anywhere else, and it was not expensive.) I was pleasantly surprised. I received e-mails every step of the way, from order confirmation to awaiting shipment to shipped to tracking information. The DVD shipped out within 3 business days, and arrived within 10 days of my order. I've already watched it, and there are no problems with the quality of the product.

Late, but not a fraud
April 25, 2019

I had quite long association with this website - because of the really rare collections - especially of my interest era - thirties and forties. In the beginning about a couple of years back it was OK, then somewhere around 2017, two of the orders were not delivered - in fact the website showed "awaiting shipment" - no response to mails- as most here have faced. But to my surprise, all of them did land up - a few months back (i. E. two years after ordering) - and all of them were as ordered - no error or missing. What is wrong probably is the efficiency and systematic work at his place, he loses track of order and finally, while ticking off, finds undelivered (my guess - else why 2 years?). May be two years late - but as on date there hadn't been any really undelivered.

Imagine my surprise when 12 months and 4 days after ordering and paying for this DVD the parcel dropped through the letterbox! Ironically I no longer have a DVD player so will have to watch it through my computer sometime. I take back my previous post however Im sure I can be forgiven for thinking Id been robbed!
Dont give up.

Cannot recommend
December 4, 2019

Ordered 3 DVDs from this company, had my checking account debited immediately. Received two of the DVDs (bootlegs) after emailing asking about them. Still no word on the 3rd after multiple emails inquiring about it. I'm resigned to eating the $12.99 on that one, but I'll never do business with this guy again.

The quaslity of the disks I have received (over 100) are quite good and the price with discounts is right. HOWEVER: Do not count on receiving your order in a timely fashion.
You will eventually receive your order but in may take months, many months before you receive it. In some cases as with an order of mine almost a year. The proprietor is well meaning but has little help so that he is unable to follow through fast enough.

Have seen countless negative reviews for Zeus DVDs, but have to say, I had no issues with their firm at all. Having searched for a film from the 40's for several years, Zeus was the only that was able to provide same. Their website was easy to navigate and search, received email confirmation of order immediately, and received second email a week later advising status changed to Shipped and a tracking number was provided. Received item yesterday, and it was an excellent print, good graphics on the DVD and a strong DVD case. As a former production assistant on projects in Southern California, commercial, industrial and several features, I'm glad to have found this site. Regards, Greg

I placed my order on October 11,2018 and was notified three days later that it was awaiting shipment. In January 2019, I wrote a review accusing Zeus of thievery since I never received my order. I need to revise that review since I was notified on July 8,2020 that my package was shipped on that date. The CDs did arrive (no explanation for delay, apology, etc.) and I am very happy with them, except that I had since bought a copy of one from another vendor in the intervening 20 months! So, the CDs did arrive after a wait of almost two years. That may be a record for this business. I cannot say that I would recommend purchasing from Zeus. I will not since as a retiree, I cannot afford again to wait for two years for merchandise to arrive: I may not be here to receive it!

Original review:
Total con:

-Ordered a DVD back on August11th.
-Got a "shipped" notice Aug. 25th.
-It never arrived.
-Wrote Zeus on Sept. 13
-He replied: "I am sorry for the delay in getting your order. I am working to get the orders caught up and you should be getting it soon.
Thanks! Dave"
-Never arrived Sent another note 9/13. Asked for a refund.
-9/29 wrote: "Still no refund nor product. Please SEND THE REFUND NOW! You must have the time to do it since you have plenty of time to flood my IN box with advertisement for products that you'll probably never send.
You have until Friday or I start advertising what a lousy business you are.

It's Friday.
-------------------------------
Dec. 29: Well, things got better. Since then, we got the product. It would work in my DVD player, but the guy who paid for it couldn't make it work in his. Sooo, they sent another on spec. It had a playing problem, but we're still working the situation. I'm impressed with their willingness to keep on trying.

Sad.
May 6, 2021

Ordered up two movies, was charged, order status showed shipped with no tracking number provided. Two months later, still hasn't arrived, sent about a dozen emails, left messages on a voicemail line. Nothing. No reply. No Items. Will file with my credit card company for fraud. Wish I saw these reviews first. Ugh.

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...

I ordered 3 movies from his catalog in mid-May. Web site says two weeks for delivery. After 5 days the order was marked "awaiting shipment." It's now July, no DVDs, no reply to several emails, and the phone number listed on the credit card statement is a Magic Jack phone number that "has not been assigned."

Order never sent. Will call bank tomorrow. Then FBI complaint. This is obviously a scam. None of the social media links work. I will find a way to take this guy down. Where's Anonymous when you need them.

Order #46245
January 23, 2019

I placed an order on 12/28/2018. Received order confirmation email right away. Next day received email indicating my order was "awaiting shipment". It never went beyond that. I've emailed the company 4-5 times. No response. I emailed again to cancel the order & to demand a refund. No response. I'm contacting the Better Business Bureau in the Ft. Lauderdale area as a last resort. Terrible customer service. If he's got a backlog of orders which is taking an unusual amount of time to fill, he should note that on his website. Otherwise, we have to assume he's either very disorganized, or a scammer.

Worked for me!
December 14, 2019

I've never heard of this company, but he had the old, hard-to-find movies I wanted. I ordered 5 dvds, and they were delivered about a week later. The only negative thing I can say is that I sent an email asking about another movie I'm looking for and never heard back (unless I missed it or it's lost in my junk mail somewhere).

Zeusdvd is without question a "SCAM". Milo and company are making very poor quality copies (which is illegal) of DVD movies, and are not providing artwork or a quality discase. I thought I was purchasing a used DVD of "Saddle Tramp" but I was deceived. Tried but failed to contact Zeus at their listed email addresses and phone numbers that follow: *******@comcast.net, *******@zeusdvd.com, *******906, and *******114. The product was returned to the following address for a refund of approximately $13.00 including shipping oneway - 101 N. E. 3rd Avenue 1500, Fort Lauderdale, FL *******. The email addresses and phone numbers are illegitimate, my letter with the DVD was not answered nor returned. Kindest regards, Jerry

A Very Clever Scammer
February 20, 2019

My experience with this seller is echoed many times in these reviews. Beware: Your first one or two orders will be filled promptly and you will be satisfied enough to place orders for several discs all at once. That's when this scammer drops the hammer. He'll take your money, send you nothing, ignore every effort to contact him, and bombard you with spam ads trying to get more orders. Dishonest and unscrupulous. Avoid, avoid!

Really wish I had read these reviews before I purchased this movie. I've emailed numerous times (this seems to be the only form of communication) and no response at all. Still waiting for the movie but the charge came out of my checking the same day the order was placed! Will never purchase from Zeus again.

SCAM
November 21, 2019

No DVD delivered. I only ordered one, Sorry for those who ordered more. Wish I had time to see if there was a way to pursue. I guess they bank on that and, when it gets hot, shut down this site and open another.
