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.
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.
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.
Ordered a hard to find DVD and this company delivered as promised. It was in good condition... thank you for your service!

-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.

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.

The old, old movie I ordered was nowhere to be found. I read the negative reviews with Zeus, but decided to trust them based on their catalog of 75,000 movies and the fact that people eventually received their order. Well, sure enough, six months later I received my movie. It was copied and not the original, but I don't care because I now have it! Thanks
It took 4 weeks, but my DVD did arrive.
The DVD was made with a DVD recorder, not a Mac. The menu system was simple, but the quality of the movie was good.

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).
I received a refund from the company. I consider this matter resolved and no further action is required.
I ordered and paid for 3 DVDs and never received them. I have contacted the company 15 times and have not received a single response. I ordered 3 Film Noir DVDs the first of May and my order was marked completed by the company on May 3rd. I still have not received the DVDs. I contacted them on their website 7 times (June 3, 14, 19, 27, July7, Aug. 1, and August 19. The company did not reply to a single e-mail. I also e-mailed the company using the e-mail contact on their webpage. Those dates were May 7, 22, 30, June 10, 13, 19, 27, and July 6. Each e-mail was an inquiry as to the status of my order. Not a single one of these 8 e-mails have been answered.
Last fall I wrote a fairly favorable review after my first order. Since then I've made several orders, totaling about 20 discs. None has been unsatisfactory & some have been surprisingly good. As a collector of obscure titles, I've worked with several dealers of such material & Zeus is no better or worse than the others. Yes, quality of videos ranges from mediocre to pretty good, but consider how rare the sources of these prints are. Yes, lag time between ordering & delivery can be long: my last order took two months to be filled & I received no answers to my emails. But the discs did come & delays have to be expected with these "print-on-demand" titles. One caution: prints of foreign films are sometimes without English subtitles & the catalog descriptions don't warn about that. To judge from reviews here, I've been one of the lucky ones, but I've found Zeus to be a reliable source for films literally unavailable elsewhere, & his prices are among the lowest around. Bottom line: be cautious ordering foreign titles & be ready to wait a long time.
Have to update my previous bad review. These guys eventually sent me the DVD ordered 6 or 8 weeks ago. No cover notes, but it does play in my region and is a rare old DVD which I couldn't find anywhere else. So I'm happy. It's just that their communication is not good. Worth a try if you cannot source your dvd from anywhere else.
Ordered my DVD over a month ago. No reply, no confirmation of order, email doesn't work but the money sure disappeared out of my credit card account. Buyer beware!
I know there are a lot of negative reviews but I have to say that although it took a little while to get my movie (about a month), it came and the quality was fine. I have been looking for this movie for over a year. I could not find a DVD anywhere and then found Zeus and took a chance. Glad I did.
