During a Google search, I came across this rather oddly (and poorly) named site:

Blowitoutahere.com

they seemed to have a couple of decent deals, scattered about, although most of the prices are standard to sub-standard.

Has anyone ever used them and if so, impressions?

Thanks

edit

Hell, just realized I put this in the wrong forum subsection

Never used it, but by looking at it I dont know if I would use it. I've tried sites like this before only to end up filing claims.

I used them from the Amazon Marketplace, they are a bit slow responding to email but the item was received without any problem.

Just an FYI, I clicked the link and my security software has the site flagged as "TrustedSource web reputation analysis found potential security risks with this site. Use with extreme caution." Have no comment one way or another about the validity of the company but as someone mentioned shopping thru Amazon with the company, I would suggest doing the same rather than using there site directly.

They have extensive feedback on Amazon if you are interested in researching the issue. I would be wary of ordering from their website directly. They appear to be a distributor/drop-shipper type of company for media items.

I've seen users here reference this site before, so I went ahead and placed a preorder with them (Phantom of the Paradise and Legend of Hell House). Any horror stories about them? Do they offer shipping/tracking updates?

Some info:
1)I order from them regularly at least twice a month sometimes more.

2)They have always shipped out my items within a reasonable time frame (a day or two) and regularly upgrade the shipping speed if it happens to go out a little late.

3)You can pay with paypal and are protected through them if anything happens to go wrong.

4)They are very good with customer service and it has never taken me more then a day to get in touch with them.

5) They provide a tracking number for your items in an email when the item ships.

6)The Order Status link on their website is broken. I have let them know about this numerous times but they have never fixed it. The upside is they will always provide you with your order status through email.

7)They are quick to issue refunds if need be.

I have personally never had a single issue with them and they have become one of my go to retailers for Anime and releases from companies like Shout.

That gives me enormous peace of mind, thank you.

I suppose there won't be any 10% or 15% 4th of July codes this time around? Which is unfortunate, I was looking forward to it.

But to answer the question of the thread, I think they're a very good company to deal with. So far I haven't had any shipping issues, my items arrive on release day most often, and they have the best prices for many boutique titles.

No Labor Day sale today?

[Blu2u]

It will most likely be a post-labor day sale next weekend. That is how it was for Memorial Day, I believe.

*fingers crossed*

I placed an order with them last month and received it on time. The problem I did have is that they also sent me someone else's disc and packing slip.

I immediately contacted them (email only) and asked how to return the other's person's disc. They promised to send me a return mailer.

I never received the mailer nor heard anything back from them. This incident makes me wonder how responsible is Blowitoutahere when I place my next order with them?

[NoirFan]

Just a heads-up on these guys: they will NOT honor sale prices on items that have been auto-cancelled by their system for being on order for over x weeks/months, unlike Import CDs.

[zeze]

How good is their packaging? I read some of the Amazon and Ebay feedback and there are some mixed responses.

[NoirFan]

Did they have a President's Day sale last year? Nothing on their website/Facebook (the latter of which hasn't been updated since the end of 2014).

[iank]

Is it the company with the same name as on eBay? I've used them loads of times with no issues if it is.

It was either that or a Valentine's Day sale. Was looking at Facebook all day today hoping for a coupon but nothing. I've got plenty of stuff I want to preorder too.

Yeah. I just went to the FB page, and scrolled through 2014. Seems that had 10% code from 1/31/14 - 2/8/14 for the Super Bowl. 2/11/14- 2/15/14 was 15% for Valentine's Day. 3/3/14- 3/10/14 was 10% for Mardi Gras.

Maybe they're hoping business continues fine without the sales. I'll be missing the sales soon though cause New Year's Evil is my last pre-order and it'll be out soon.
