Inkitpierceitburnit's review of Zoverstocks www.amazon.co.uk/shops/zoverstocks

“An element of risk, on balance worth taking. ”

★★★★☆

written by Inkitpierceitburnit on 11/08/2013

I have used Zoverstocks for a number of years through Play.com, Amazon and EBay. They are the sales arm of Magpie.com, selling on the CDs, DVDs, games and now clothing (!?) that they have bought from you at a sorry pittance. Like most of the reviewers on here (and, indeed, all over The Net), I have had negative experience with this seller. With the volume of units that they shift across many outlets, occasionally they find the item that you have ordered is out of stock by the time comes to process and pack your item. This can mean, in reality, your order sat on their system without anyone actually dealing with it. Or your order being suddenly cancelled by an impersonal email. Another negative is the blind determination to list everything as in 'Very Good' condition, without putting the items through any obvious quality control system. What it comes down to is your personal expectation. I order many very low priced DVDs and CDs and often find them arriving quickly in better condition than listed. Sometimes new! My orders usually arrive within 5 days. But, when Zoverstocks are overloaded with work, this can stretch to three weeks. On the four occasions that the items have gone astray in the post, they have always either refunded me or replaced the goods without question. Reading reviews on Play.com, most of the negative posts appear to be from idiots who are unable to read a listing. And there are many such people these days. These tend to be the same people who 'review' a movie with "I relly want 2 c this flim. Looks oarsome!!" Even the premise of the term 'review' escapes their tiny brains. To sum up, Zoverstocks probably aren't for you if seeking a gift for someone else whose birthday is only a matter of days away. But, if you are merely looking to build a DVD and/or CD collection; they are definitely worth a punt.
