The Medusa Fora

Anyone else ever order from these guys ... and get ripped off !

I'll let you know in a week or so.

it may take more than one week....

...and so it has. No merchandise yet.

I'm surprised you've had problems with them. I've had a number of DVD's and CD's from Brighton Beach and they've been excellent. Quick delivery and the odd freebie thrown in.

I've had pretty good luck with them as well - if it's taken too long, contact them.

My last transaction with them didn't go well. Delayed answer to emails; they had to ask me what I'd purchased, two weeks after payment; then they sent me a wrong item. I guess it depends on who's minding the store (or not).

Damn, that stinks. That's the problem with a lot of these online businesses - it can be so hit or miss. I made out ok with these guys, but I've had some nightmare experiences with a couple of merchants who other buyers deemed terrific.

I finally got my order from these guys. I ordered a DVD which I have not yet watched. They also threw in the Greenland Whale Fisheries CD free which is really nice. Overall it took between 2 and 3 weeks to arrive. That isn't too bad considering the "lost" week between X-mas and New Years was in there. Overall I am a satisfied customer.

NB I have never dealt with them so do not take this as an endorsement from me.

No it's all bandit, but good quality.

I have bought about 10 DVD's from them over the last year or so and the quality is very good to excellent depending on the DVD. It took about a week and a half to recieve each one on average. They just started listing a bootleg I have not heard of called "The Parting Glass". it appears to be a commercial bootleg of Shane's last show.

Overall no complaints. They have almost always throw in a free concert cd.
