“My experience with Zeus dvd”

Maria P.
2/1/24

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.

“Wow. Never have I accidentally dealt with a bootlegger.”

Lynne Z.
1/6/24

As an officer of the court, I pride myself on doing everything on the up and up. My 73-year-old aunt told me about "One Big Beat" and how she remembered it as a kid and could never find it. I was excited to find it on the web at zeusdvds.com. It arrived one week later. My aunt received it today and said it came loose in an envelope with some bubble wrap. No shipping slip, no case, no formal packaging of any kind. I thought maybe it got damaged in shipping and it was just put in a different envelope. I started thinking about it and it was at me and I thought of pirating or bootlegging. I started googling and came across this site and I feel like throwing up. I will be gathering the packaging and DVD from my aunt. I don't care that I lost out on the money, but this needs to go to the proper authorities, I just don't know who to go to with this. I attempted to call them, and the phone number on their website comes back as a number no longer in service. I sent them an email and it bounced back.

Tip for consumers:
Check, double check, and triple check when doing business with unfamiliar companies. Dummy me.

We are not using what I consider to be a bootlegged DVD. I told my aunt to hold it on the side until I see her and I will collect it and present it to the proper authorities.

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 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.

Tip for consumers:
I can't answer the shipping time or refund questions since I never got my DVD.

Stay away from this site.

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.

Received a badly damaged dvd and case. No response from use via emails (one account on their website doesn't exist), or left voicemail messages. I think the DVD was purposefully damaged too because the outside of the envelope has a dent that looks like only an instrument could have made. I'm a Sennior on a fixed income and I was so looking forward to seeing a rare movie. Probably lost my money via PayPal.

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.

Tip for consumers:
no refund policy on website, but email and phone numbers encourage hope of resolution--it's false hope. you pay, you get what they send you and that's it. sometimes they provide tracking but not always.

didn't use the broken items, but non-broken worked fine.

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.

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.

My second order is still awaiting shipment as of August last year. I'm pretty pissed off still. Never ordering again. Endless emails even tried snail mail but no reply. Shame because i would have used this company a lot but i now have no confidence in them.

I ordered two DVDs back in December. I got one notice from Zeus saying my order had been confirmed. After that, nothing. I emailed several more times. It is now 8 MONTHS later. No DVDs, no response, no apology, no refund, nothing. Do not waste your time with Zeus. It is a SCAM.

Tip for consumers:
Don't use it!

Worthless outfit - owner David Miller runs a number of sites just like this and they're all doing the same thing - taking money and generally not bothering to fill orders - many years ago, I did actually get stuff from them and the quality wasn't entirely bad, but somewhere along the way Mr. Miller seems to have decided that just keeping the money and not shipping stuff worked out better for his bottom line - if you want to take a chance and order something, make sure you're using a credit or debit card that will refund your money when you don't receive your merchandise - I made the mistake of recently ordering something using my Discover debit card and was told that they can't refund me - I'll be cancelling that card soon.

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!

I ordered 2 DVDs from Zeus in July 2021. I received an email saying that my DVDs had been shipped. They didn't arrive so I sent a message to Zeus from their website and by email. No response. I tried calling, repeated the messages and email several times but not reply at all. They took my money but no DVDs and no communication.

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.

Tip for consumers:
Check the movie descriptions before you buy the dvd and see if its something you want.

Purchased 2 DVD's and the order was confirmed. Never got them. I have sent several emails but they refuse to address the problem. I've order there before and had no problem so I don't know what is going on now. Not so much a quality place anymore if they will take your money but don't ship the product. Stay away!

Tip for consumers:
This company has changed from before. I've ordered other DVD's and did not have a problem getting them. Now they won't even answer my emails. I won't buy from them again. One can't blame everything on Corvid, some just take advantage of the situation.

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.

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!

I ordered two DVDs back in the beginning of December 2020 and received one of them. I made the mistake of ordering three more DVDs in the end of December 2020 expecting the omission had been a simple mistake. Since then I have received nothing in the mail and, despite e-mailing and calling Milo at Zeus - *******124 -numerous times, have received NOTHING. Not an e-mail, not a call back, nothing I ordered. It's now May 2021. THESE PEOPLE ARE A SCAM OUTFIT! DO NOT ORDER FROM THEM! I can understand some issued during the pandemic but at least let us know what's going on. The fact that their website is still up and running means they continue to rip people off every day!

Tip for consumers:
Never order from Zeus DVDs

If you're looking for a single DVD and willing to pay the undiscounted price you may do okay here. But I placed two orders for multiple DVDs using the many available discounts and after several months I never received anything. No response to multiple emails. Finally filed a complaint with my credit card company and got a full refund. Very frustrating.
