Buyers automatically enter into a legally binding contract when they purchase the item from the seller if they win the online auction or use the Buy It Now feature. When purchasing one or more of our titles, please keep the following in mind if you have a question, or believe that you might have a problem:
1. Ship times are listed in all auctions and listings in US business days, which do not include holidays or weekends.
2. If you have a problem, please contact us. Free email services, such as Hotmail and Yahoo, are not always reliable. If you are having problems with your mail, or think we are not receiving yours, PLEASE CALL US, per eBay policy. We have a phone number set up to assist you, if you believe you have a problem. We are more than happy to help.
3. A Paypal complaint is NOT COMMUNICATION, and is a last resort, which should never be necessary with DVD Wizards. Email and telephone are communication. We answer all emails within 48 hours, during normal business hours, and you will receive an autoresponse if you write us, to indicate receipt of your email. If you have not recevied the initial autoresponse, something may be wrong on your end, or you may be using a free email service that blocks these notices. Also check your spam folder. If it has been determined that there is a problem, we are more than happy to issue a refund. There is no need for a Paypal complaint, as we are easily accesible.
4. Being a major retailer, we have high demand and may have a backorder, or our suppliers may place your item on backorder. Though rare, sometimes studios will even pull titles from the shelves.

We cannot be responsible for backorder notices blocked as spam by free email providers, or otherwise, mail placed in spam folders, nor mail blocked at the ISP source. Backorder notices will not be sent on special order items purchased in the ebay store, as they are a special order, and not a backordered item. You agree that you are aware of this factor prior to sale and will not hold dvdwizards responsible for this.

|
Note on Bootlegs:
As a consumer, you must be aware that bootlegs are out there,
and as technology progresses, they are becoming rampant.
Bootlegs have poor video quality, are typically missing extra features,
different cover artwork, and sometimes have bad audio.
Even discs manufactured in other countries are owned by other studios and have
different features than US counterparts..
All of our films are brand new and sealed region 1 DVDs.
Region 1 means that the film was made for play in the US.
There is no such thing as Region 0 or Region 9 DVDs. These are merely a slick terms for bootleg. If a film says it is new but has no shrink wrap because it was part of a box set, guess what? It's a bootleg.
We do not sell copies.
We sell our DVDs at cost, and we are a national retailer with one of the best price points in the business.
This being the case, if someone is listing new DVDs cheaper than dvdwizards,
odds are it could be a bootleg, manufactured in a country other than the US, or worse, a copy.
This is not saying that our competitors merely selling a disc cheaper than us are selling a copy
or a disc manufactured in another country,
but if they are offering a deeper discount of $1 to $4, remember the saying,
if it's too good to be true, it most likely is.

| Movie description | Many films from the 1970s allow even the most gripping narratives to flow with the consequences of real life. CHINATOWN is a classic film whose intrigues and adventures culminate in life-changing moments for its protagonist, Jake Gittes (Jack Nicholson).
Director Roman Polanski's classic neo-noir detective story is set during a heat wave in 1930s Los Angeles, where residents suffer from a water shortage due to an ongoing drought. With stellar contributions from composer Jerry Goldsmith and screenwriter Robert Towne, whose script recalls the hard-boiled cynicism of Raymond Chandler and Dashiell Hammett, CHINATOWN is a complex and superbly crafted period drama that has become Polanski's most critically acclaimed film. Private investigator Gittes runs a sleazy detective agency. When a client (Diane Ladd) hires him to spy on her "husband," who is rumored to be having an affair with a younger woman, Jake uncovers a plot against the man--but this is only the tip of the iceberg. Still to emerge are a sex scandal implicating the real wife (Faye Dunaway), with whom Jake is destined to become more closely acquainted, and a real estate swindle of tremendous proportions devised by her tycoon father (John Huston), backed up by a vast network of corrupt city officials and landowners who make life hell for the private eye.
This story crystallizes the impact of a chance meeting with the romantic ideals of the early 1970s, when the American urban landscape and economic power structures were in flux.
