Zeus DVDs

It's $9.99/dvd starting out, then after awhile they send codes for half off. Either way it's $4 flat rate to ship one or several dvds. They sent me 2 dvds in a big 15x20 padded envelope, surprisingly one of them still played, couldn't reach zeus by any advertised available method for assistance, credit card company said they would remove the charge and try to resolve, but if they didn't hear from zeus the charge would be restored- and it was! - so zeus is rewarded for doing nothing, but suddenly you realize they do what they want --for half price and no case and no artwork it's tough noogies what happens. So whatever. I try not to use them but i don't have an alternate sometimes.

On 10/16/2020, I ordered 11 DVDs. By 12/29/2020, my order's status was still Awaiting Shipment. In other words, after 2-1/2 months it had still not been shipped. I filed a request for refund through PayPal, and eventually got my money back.

My second order is still awaiting shipment as of August last year. I'm pretty pissed off still. Never ordering again. Endless emails even tried snail mail but no reply. Shame because i would have used this company a lot but i now have no confidence in them.

I give them a zero if it was possible

I placed my order for a copy of Song of the South on July 07,2019.

To date I have not gotten any responses, no apologies, no dvd, no refund, nothing. I've reached out through the website and e-mail several times. At this point I am considering this site a scam.

I've ordered now several hard to find movies from Zeus. The prices are more than fair, and the movies have all arrived at my home quickly. I'm very pleased with this service.

I ordered 5 DVD movies from this so called 'business' on Dec. 18 - They were never shipped but the thief, "Milo" (don't think it's his real name) grabbed the money and disappeared.
The location of his business is a (shady) post box service in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. I guess he checks his mailbox only at night! There are a few positive reviews here which may have been submitted by himself or paid by him.

The ratings say it all. 90 out of 111 indicate that Zeus does not provide good service, if any at all! Luckily VISA gave me credit for the order I placed months ago and never received. Look elsewhere. This site is a sham.

Ordered dvds over a 2 months ago for my wife's Christmas present. No reply to my many emails and of course no dvds. Wish I had read the reviews on this site first. Credit card charged immediately but have received nothing.

After spending $20.00 for 2 dvds, i became suspicious of Zeus' e-mail responses, and checked this site. Since the reviews were bad as you can see, i notified visa about my probable loss. I was shocked when 3 weeks after my order the dvds appeared in my mailbox. The no frills packaging consisted of small jewel cases wrapped in packing. I played them immediately and they were both clear, sharp copies that had the TCM logo emblazoned about half way through. This is not a first class operation, and i won't tempt fate again, but this time i got my money's worth. Curmudgeon

I've never heard of this company, but he had the old, hard-to-find movies I wanted. I ordered 5 dvds, and they were delivered about a week later. The only negative thing I can say is that I sent an email asking about another movie I'm looking for and never heard back (unless I missed it or it's lost in my junk mail somewhere).

On 3 occasions in the past, ordered DVDs and the results were OK. Latest order was not shipped nor claimed to be. No response to inquiries about the order. But every day get new email about new offerings supposedly available.
Drumming up new business makes no sense when existing orders cannot or will not be filled. Perhaps this "retired" Zeus person is becoming senile-- or has decided to just defraud customers.

I sent for the film The Secret of My Success, and ordered it August 15. I read the reviews on this site, but waited, and November 9, my DVD arrived. It was obviously copied from TCM, but was very good quality and I enjoyed the film, as I'd been waiting to see it since 1966. There are no additional features, but I'm satisfied with the copy. It is a no-frills outfit, but I got my money's worth. Zeus seems to offer a lot, and they probably need to hire more people or explain that they take a lot of time. It feels like some guy in a basement is doing all the work. I'd probably order one film at a time, and not several, as some people have done.

Out of print and out of copyright stuff is all here. You can order a really bad copy off ebay from some "collector" where the movie is shaky af and double exposed, OR you can order from Zeus, and the same movie will be much better quality than the ebay people. Now, a lot of these are quite old, and were not well preserved. The "studio" copy of "damsel in distress" comes to mind. But there they are, available, because one guy is pumping out the out of print stuff.

The reason you see so many bad reviews is that all those movies are out of print for a reason, Hollywood does not want them in circulation. Maybe the reason is the star had a falling out with a studio bigwig, maybe they were considered "boring" 20 years after release. Who knows?

If you read the website then you will learn that this is a retired gentleman who 's hobby of loving film had become a small business. He does this for the love of film and is helping to keep rare productions available for us. It took a few weeks but my DVD arrived and I have a gem of a ballet production that has been impossible to find for decades. I am truly grateful to this man. When we expect delivery as fast at Amazon these days, it's understandable that we can be impatient with a small business. But this man does it for the love of it. Please visit and read his website, he is doing a good thing. I'm grateful to him for his passion, I now have a production of a ballet I thought I would never see again.

After reading other reviews of Zeus DVDs, I placed my order expecting I might never get my DVD. (I took the chance, as I have not been able to find the item anywhere else, and it was not expensive.) I was pleasantly surprised. I received e-mails every step of the way, from order confirmation to awaiting shipment to shipped to tracking information. The DVD shipped out within 3 business days, and arrived within 10 days of my order. I've already watched it, and there are no problems with the quality of the product.

I have now gotten 5 movies from Zeus, and they work fine, the first 2 took a little longer than expected, but it appeared to be more of a problem with the USPS than Zeus. I recommend Zeus highly. Some great older movies!

His Bodyguard was a good movie, I was hesitant with ordering the burned copy but was pleasantly surprised. However the darn writing was showing on the bottom of the screen, its king of annoying, you pay 13.99 on a movie and they cant even get the disclaimer off the screen. The dvd works with most dvd players but does not work on acer laptops or hp desktops. Works fine on my Sony blu/dvd player. I wore out the movie after 6 years I ordered a new copy a few days ago.

Have to update my previous bad review. These guys eventually sent me the DVD ordered 6 or 8 weeks ago. No cover notes, but it does play in my region and is a rare old DVD which I couldn't find anywhere else. So I'm happy. It's just that their communication is not good. Worth a try if you cannot source your dvd from anywhere else.

I had quite long association with this website - because of the really rare collections - especially of my interest era - thirties and forties. In the beginning about a couple of years back it was OK, then somewhere around 2017, two of the orders were not delivered - in fact the website showed "awaiting shipment" - no response to mails- as most here have faced. But to my surprise, all of them did land up - a few months back (i. E. two years after ordering) - and all of them were as ordered - no error or missing. What is wrong probably is the efficiency and systematic work at his place, he loses track of order and finally, while ticking off, finds undelivered (my guess - else why 2 years?). May be two years late - but as on date there hadn't been any really undelivered.

Imagine my surprise when 12 months and 4 days after ordering and paying for this DVD the parcel dropped through the letterbox! Ironically I no longer have a DVD player so will have to watch it through my computer sometime. I take back my previous post however Im sure I can be forgiven for thinking Id been robbed!
Dont give up.

The quaslity of the disks I have received (over 100) are quite good and the price with discounts is right. HOWEVER: Do not count on receiving your order in a timely fashion.
You will eventually receive your order but in may take months, many months before you receive it. In some cases as with an order of mine almost a year. The proprietor is well meaning but has little help so that he is unable to follow through fast enough.

The old, old movie I ordered was nowhere to be found. I read the negative reviews with Zeus, but decided to trust them based on their catalog of 75,000 movies and the fact that people eventually received their order. Well, sure enough, six months later I received my movie. It was copied and not the original, but I don't care because I now have it! Thanks

Have seen countless negative reviews for Zeus DVDs, but have to say, I had no issues with their firm at all. Having searched for a film from the 40's for several years, Zeus was the only that was able to provide same. Their website was easy to navigate and search, received email confirmation of order immediately, and received second email a week later advising status changed to Shipped and a tracking number was provided. Received item yesterday, and it was an excellent print, good graphics on the DVD and a strong DVD case. As a former production assistant on projects in Southern California, commercial, industrial and several features, I'm glad to have found this site. Regards, Greg
