Hello Again,
Hello,

Please see below the long list of emails relating to order number 635775. I have not been able to get a reply from anyone for one month now. Can you assist me in completing my order or getting credit to purchase something else?

Regards,

Michael De May

It is now the second of February 2008 and I have not received my order.
Can you give me another excuse? I am sure you do have one.

Sorry, our bank did not go out of business, they just stopped doing online credit card processing.

We will put you on the waiting list and be in touch with you when we get stock.

Have a safe and happy new years

Your stories are simply amazing, each time they get better as you can read below.

Now after almost two months you have another story which is even better; to say I can't get a refund because your bank has gone out of business. What a kind of fool do you take me for anyway. Your company has made up so many stories now how can I believe you now that all I have to do is ring my bank and say to issue a chargeback. What you are really saying to me is let my credit card company or my bank pay for your mistakes because how can my bank get money from you when conveniently your bank is no longer doing business, This is really rich.

Since you already have my money and I don't have my order I will wait because I don't believe anymore of your stories.

When the end of January arrives and you have not sent me my item I will report you to the Better Business Bureau and they will deal with The DVDPlanet.

Interesting enough I have all your replies in this email which makes very serious reading. Lets see what happens in another 4 weeks.

Please prove me wrong on this.

Dear Valued Customer,

Thank you once again for your patience and contact.

At this point, you have surely gone through too much stress and disappointments to hear any more excuses or explanations.

So let's keep things very simply and straightforward.

For whatever reason, your package has been lost and has not arrived:

USA Customs...
Address Issues...
Incorrect Zip...
Canadapost Delays...
Lost Shipment...
Etc...

We reshipped a second package (and took a loss) several weeks back and yet again the order has not arrived.

To send a THIRD package at this point and expect you to wait even longer is simply not fair to you as our customer.

So therefore, we can only offer the following resolution:

a) Our supplier will have new DVD stock arriving at the end of January (due to the Christmas backlog). If you STILL WANT to receive your order, we can ship out a THIRD DVD Collection via FEDEX (not USPS) Free of charge.

-OR-

b) If you are simply fed up with the delays and no longer want the product we will suggest you contact your Credit Card bank immediately and request they file a CHARGEBACK for this order.

The reason you will need to actually request the CHARGEBACK from your own bank (as opposed to us providing you with a refund) is because the Bank we used to PROCESS CREDIT CARDS went out of business just before the Christmas season.

Due to this, our funds and refund capabilities were FROZEN and we are unable to REFUND any of those orders.

Therefore, we understand this may be an inconvenience however if you simply contact your bank, it will take less then 3 minutes to issue the Chargeback and receive a FULL Refund for your order.

This will NOT effect you or your credit in ANY way. It
is simply the way your credit card provides you with a
refund if you have ANY issues with your credit card or
products that you ordered.

We are very sorry for the problems, but this problem is beyond
our control. If for any reason you have a problem with your
card company, have them email us right away.

We will do whatever we can to help, as you are entitled to
your money back. We would like to keep you as a future
customer and getting your money returned to you is important
to us.

Anytime you ever use your credit card on the internet, you are
protected by your card company.

If you ever order something, like in this case and don't get it.
All you have to do is call your card company up and have
them file a chargeback. They will put the money back on your
card and take it from who ever processed the order.

That was just a tip.

Warmest Regards,
Management
The DVD Planet

It is now 28 December 2007 and we have not received my order. You promised below in your replies that we would have the order before Christmas, What happened yet again? Why is this order such a problem for you to fill? This is not an acceptable way to run a business. Please reply with your solution.

Hello,

I just spoke with our shipping department and got
some details. We had some small delays with 2
shipments as you may have been notified by email.

These shipments are being released from US customs
today and will all be delivered before Christmas.

Orders will be delivered Today, Saturday and on
Monday at the latest.

I'm very sorry for the delay and understand this can
cause stress this time of year.

Happy Holidays,
TheDVDPlanet Support

Hello Again Brian,

It is now 21 December 2007 and just a few days before Christmas. I HAVE NOT received my order as promised by you several times in the below emails. Time and time again you told me the order would be with me and it's not here again. What can your company say about this problem. This was to be a Christmas gift to my 3yr old and 5 yr old boys who now will NOT have the gift they really wanted. I ordered this item over one month ago which was well before the Christmas season. I am very very disappointed with The DVD Planet, I could have ordered this product from several other vendors.

Please find a way to make this better and reply to me personally and not with a prewritten mailing.

Regards,

Michael

Hello,

Your replacement order has been shipped out
already. It was due Dec 6-8th, but with the
busy Christmas season, a small delay can be
expected.

Your order should be there within a matter of
a few business days. If for any reason your order

is not there by Dec 24th, a full refund will be issued.

Brian Lawson

Hello,

Your order looks to be lost due to a problem with
our database. When we import our database of
orders into CanadaPost, we are having connection
problems.

These problems have caused packages to be shipped
to wrong zip codes. We thought this problem was
fixed before this shipment.

So what we are going to do is reship your order. We
are not willing to have this happen again, so we will
have to ship all packages manually.

There will not be any tracking, but there will also not
be any delays. Shipping the packages out manually allows
us to ship any day and not just on Saturdays. Down side
is there's no tracking.

Your order will ship out this coming week and take 6 business
days for delivery.

I am very sorry for the delay. For this problem, you can use
this coupon code after Dec 27th for 35% off.

Coupon Code - 35off35

Again, I'm very sorry for the delay, but our main focus now is
getting the packages reshipped manually so that there is no
mistakes. Any gifts will be received in plenty of time for the
holidays.

Regards,
Brian Lawson
Management

I placed an order for the Untouchables DVD Collection back in November 2007 as a Christmas present to my partner. I made the payment with my mothers credit card and was promised delivery in 10/14 days. However, I did not receive the delivery. After many e-mails to them this was their reply/excuse. To date I am STILL waiting! As far as I'm concerned they are thieves and should be prosecuted and struck off. I hope that someone/company pursues other complaints and takes them to Court ! I found paragraph (b) very amusing !

For whatever reason, your package has been lost and has not arrived:

USA Customs...
Address Issues...
Incorrect Zip...
Canadapost Delays...
Lost Shipment...
Etc...

We reshipped a second package (and took a loss) several weeks back and yet again the order has not arrived.

That was just a tip.

I was told at the beginning of the year that they had a back log of refunds that they were doing, well it is now 18th February 2008 and i am still waiting for this refund, it has really annoyed me as my friend who ordered something around the same time and then complained because she never received it has received her refund no problem, I am getting fed up with keep emailing this company to try and found out what is going on as i am now no longer getting any replys to my emails, i have emailed them 3 or 4 times in the last month.

I suppose I am another victim of this company. I purchased an item back in November 2007 only to be told there was an issue with their shipping and I can expect it by 6-8 Dec, well it's now 29th Dec and there is no sign of this item. After numerous attempts to contact the company and with no responses from them I did some research of my own and the website of theirs cannot even be found. That's when I came upon all the other comments of consumers being ripped off by DVDPlanet.org.

I don't really know what to do to get back the money lost. If anyone can be of assistance of how to recover lost monies, please let me know.

I placed an order with The DVD Planet also known as Universal Gift Ventures on 11/7. I was given the excuse that my order was shipped to an incorrect address followed by another email that there was a problem with their shipping department and they were correcting the problem by sending the orders out manually. Furthermore, by shipping it manually it was impossible to give me a tracking number. I still haven't received my order and they won't respond to my emails.
