Personally, I'm happy to pay the extra few bucks to Diabolik for peace of mind that my discs will arrive mint.

I’ve never had an issue with anything arriving damaged from WOW, but I have had two items damaged from Diabolik, Grindhouse’s Cannibal Holocaust came with a crushed slipcase and Manchester Morgue had a ripped slip cover

Quick email fired off to them both times and they sent replacement covers free of charge, so I can’t complain

I've been ordering from Diabolik for years (they became my main source for obscure imports after Xploited Cinema ceased trading). The only issue I can recall having is when they accidentally sent me the wrong version of Franco's 99 Women. They quickly sent me the correct version and refunded me the postage on the other version before they even received it back.

I’ve used them a few times, and those two times are the only times anything went wrong and like I said, they sorted it without any hassle, I’ll definitely keep using them, but sometimes WOWHD come out cheaper and I’m a Yorkshireman

I only tend to use them for the more obscure stuff that I can't get from Wow - Code Red & Scorpion stuff mainly.

Ordered the French blu-ray of Brides of Dracula. I currently own the UK bd and the 2.00:1 aspect ratio is incredibly annoying (loads of picture information missing from the bottom).

I know Final Cut only had access to a problematic US master but it really did seem quite shifty to describe the ratio as 16:9 on the back of the UK bd's cover.

btw Earlier today, somebody confirmed to me that subtitles are definitely not forced on the French blu-ray.

I'll still keep the Final Cut UK bd for the 30 minute making-of (I'll put it in a two disc amaray with the new bd).
