Don't. There are cheaper places to get their stuff, like rightstuf and deepdiscountdvd. Only time I was gonna buy something was when they had that sale back in june I was gonna buy all of super milk chan sadly I waited a day too long and missed the boat.

ADV are safe and reliable, thats about it.
There are cheaper retailers such as Dvd Pacific and Deepdiscountdvd. I defintly recommend waiting and splurging on an ADV sale though you can pick up some really incredible bargains. It's your decision... |

Great point when ADV has a sale they have a SALE I remember getting the artboxes for Noir and FMP for like 20 bucks brand new, there is an issue with ADV sales. Shipping due to high demands it could take a month to reach your house, but at that price it hard to complain about shipping. I normally take advantage of one or more items during this sale. Till next time, Delta Kiral |

ADV is not really worth buying from directly anymore. Back when they started their clearance sales, the prices were rock-bottom. If you didn't mind the bar-code drills (pinpricks, really) you could make out like a lil' bandit! (I got the Anime essentials versions of Bubblegum Crisis Tokyo 2040 for $5 apiece, for example.)
Unfortunately, the sales have crapped out recently- prices have gone up on many items (I paid $3 for Grrl Power, now it's $6), and most of the listings are barely discounted. Add on the fact that they've started to charge tax, have a huge shipping charge (they seem to be FedEx exlusive now), and that customer service/shipping time goes to pot during sales... it's just not worth it anymore. There are still bargains to be had, but it's normally cheaper to get stuff during a sale at DeepDiscountDVD or Rightstuf. (And my browser just informed me I got an ADV newsletter email.  )

FedEx Ground, $5.00 for the first item and $1.00 for each additional item. |

Honestly...ADV's customer service is hit or miss...Sometimes their slow to respond but they come through in the end...Honestly, I'd go with Right Stuf or Robert's Corner...If you're getting a great deal...Go for it!!! |

I've thought about it, but I always end up going with RightStuf, TFAW or DDD because they're cheaper.

Normally those stores are cheaper on a regular basis but when ADV does one of those huge sales it's hard to argue with the prices. But generally I purchase my anime from DDD and Rightstuf. |
