Recommended UK Supplier? - Blu-ray Forum

I am desperately trying to find a RELIABLE UK supplier of UHD discs.

Amazon are reliable but their prices are often higher than elsewhere and their delivery guy keeps leaving my stuff out in the rain. I caught him leaving something out in the open in my garden last week and knocked on the window and asked him why the hell he hadn't just rung the doorbell. "It was easy to leave it outside under the table" was his only response.

Zavvi are notoriously bad. Very slow deliveries or they over-sell a title and then tell you after you could have sourced it from elsewhere if told in time that the title is "out of print" even when you've pre-ordered months in advance. Delivery is always an issue because they use Yodel. I was away for two weeks for an item that had no delivery date. Returned to find it dumped in the back garden absolutely soaked through and worthless because the email I was sent about delivery said it had been delivered to a neighbour without telling me which one (told me to check the delivered card which told the different story of "I left it out the back")

I tried using Zoom a couple of weeks ago, based on seeing them mentioned here. Two weeks on I'm still waiting for delivery of "King Kong" with no indication of when I'll get it. As compensation for the long delays they sent me a 25% discount code which "expires 3rd December". I just tried using it and got a "code no longer valid" message. Seems like they're just as bad as Zavvi.

Surely there's SOMEBODY in the UK who can be relied on to deliver something when they've said they'll deliver and be responsible about where they leave packages if I'm out?

Any recommendations?
