Rarewaves offer extremely competitive pricing for their CDs. As others state, delivery isn't the quickest, but the CDs did arrive within their stated delivery time. The only reason I haven't left a 5*... See more

Delivery is slightly longer than I would like, but the Blu-rays themselves arrived in great condition and the combined 10% discount with 2 for £30 offer meant that each 4k bluray was only £13.50 with free delivery.

Very good experience
Products were as described, delivery was relatively fast considering I live in a different country. When I had a little issue the customer service was fast in responding. I recommend it.

Good price, poor shipping.
Price was great, the 4K Blu-Rays I ordered were received in perfect condition. However, the shipping was terrible. I know it's free, so hard to complain too much but it took forever, customer service did help somewhat to say that they confirmed it dispatched. But, it would be nice to offer a tracked service. Quite frustrating for an order to take ages and also have no idea where it is in the process.

Happy with Rarewaves
Grat selection, good prices, records arrive in Serbia, albeit with a slight delay, but they arrive without damage. I have yet to find a better place to buy vinyls and CDs.

Great stuff
I didnt have to pay extra fees to the shipping company! Dont know how they circumvented the new rules that adds 3€ for every package, maybe because they sent the movies separately? Either way it was worth it. Good prices and overall a great selection of movies.

Apologizes.
Good night,
I was a bit fascinated about the perfect Sonic figure when I meet Rarewaves. There I found more than I was searching for. To be more precise, I did pardon my past by treating old traumas.
I'm sorry to do not extend my review. I paid so few by the transport of the package (only 6 pounds I guess) that I am still worried about its safety. I hope everything goes as planned. See you on the review of the products.
Be well.
Cordialy,
Rossano Rossatto.
