    Advantages Advantages Good selection, good customer support

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Higher, less clear prices than before

    I have been a loyal customer of blackstar for almost a year and I have to say I have been very happy with it. I've ordered several items from them and they've all arrived promptly and usually in good condition (once a videotape arrived with a slight break in the case but the videotape itself was OK). The choice is great- they have every video on UK realease and I've never had a problem finding any tape I've wanted. Any e-mails I've sent with questions have been answered within a few hours, even if I sent them late at night- they actually have someone there overnight that answers e-mails ... more

    Advantages Advantages good selection, quick delivery

    Disadvantages Disadvantages none

    This is a great site for buying DVD's and videos. I first heard of them when looking on the dooyoo rewards page. On the homepage, you are greeted by a very colourful homepage, of flashing banners and titles like we recommend which are films recommended by the website, mostly new releases. They also have offers on usually, at the moment some DVD's are only £3.99 and videos £6.99, quite a bargain obviously not brand new titles. There is heading out now at blackstar which are new releases that are now on the site. Coming soon pretty much explains itself with all new titles coming soon, and if you ... more

    Advantages Advantages very good selection

    Disadvantages Disadvantages not the cheapest prices around

    Living out in the country, about an hours drive away from the nearest major city(which is Edinburgh,incase anyone is interested) I find it very hard to find the time to travel in and out of Edinburgh to spend time shopping. As i have started to build up a DVD collection, and replace all the videos i have with DVD's, i was finding this very expensive. What with the time travelling, paying for parking and then treating my daughter to a big M's(as she calls them) I then came across blackstar.co.uk. I found their site very easy to navigate, they have a really good selection of DVD's and videos ... more

    Advantages Advantages Good selection, Fast delivery

    Disadvantages Disadvantages new delivery charges

    As a dedicated DVD fan that buys more than my fair share of new releases and old gems I used to send all my friends to Blackstar – mainly for the reason they first used as an advertising campaign… that the price you saw was the price you paid. Not anymore it seems. Blackstar have started applying delivery charges to any purchases made through their website. Now fair enough you think – most sites apply a delivery charge and it’s very rare these days to find somewhere that doesn’t. It does usually mean slapping about £3.00 onto any order you make but usually the ... more

    Advantages Advantages Quick and comprehensive

    With the dawn of the DVD revolution, VHS tapes are becoming increasingly neglected. It's hard to find a decent place on the Net to buy them from, and when you find a place it either doesn't have what you want or they are vastly overpriced. That's where blackstar.co.uk come in. Blackstar are a UK based company who sell videos and DVDs at discount prices. The site is easy to use, and it's not long before you're finding bargains galore. There's plenty to go for, and holiday times mean even more special offers. Customer services are excellent, the staff are helpful and there's a great order ... more

    5 Stars Video Amnesty 06/08/2000
    User recommends the product
    Blackstar are simply FANTASTIC. I ordered from them as they stocked a video I could not find anywhere else and have not looked back since. They have excellent customer service. When submitting a query e-mail to them, they respond very quickly and in a very cheery and helpful manner - even on a Sunday!! Their prices include postage and packing so there no hidden costs. What you see is what you pay. In the month of August, Blackstar are doing a video amnesty - trade in any one of your pre recorded videos and they will give you £5 any DVD of your choice. ... more

    Advantages Advantages Everything!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None that I've found.

    I found Blackstar through a price comparing site. At first I was concerned that low prices might mean low quality service, but I couldn't have been more wrong. I now buy all my videos at Blackstar. Not only are they cheap, but unlike many othere internet shopping sites they don't charge a delivery fee. Returns are freepost, and they have an 0800 enquiry line in case something goes wrong. If you pre-order any product you get a 20% discount, and the product is delivered to your door an the day it goes on sale in the high-street. They have an amazing range, truly something for everyone, and a ... more

    Blackstar.co.uk are very cheap. If you buy a video or dvd that has yet to be released they will give you an extra twenty percent off their already low prices. They also offer free postage which means that the price that you see on the item description is the only price you will pay, there are no inflated postage and packaging (shipping and handling) rates to be seen. The delivery is also not the cheapest around it is quick to deliver, it only takes a day or two to any wherein the uk and they deliver worldwide for free meaning you can get the latest uk releases on video and dvd cheaply and ... more

    I first found Blackstar quite by accident; I ordered a video tape from them and, months later, are still with them. On first visiting the site, I found it easy to navigate, with every possible title you could think of up for sale. What's more, if they haven't got it, they'll even hunt a copy down for you! There's more to it than just having a nice website, though. Certain items of theirs attract free shipping, and what with their already discounted prices, you will begin to wonder if you'll ever buy anything from the High Street again in the way of DVDs / Videos! Shipping is very quick, and ... more
