I did a web search on dvdpacific.
Apparently some people were sent an email.
I think we should all get to see this.
This has been on a couple of forums:



DVD Pacific Closure Announcement

Dear Customers,

Today is a sad day as I announce to you that we are going to cease
trading. After successfully running DVD Pacific for the past 16 years we
have decided to close our operations. The current market conditions,
declining overall business and my present health issues have impacted us
greatly and led to this very difficult decision.

To you, our commercial customer base, we understand the difficulties you
face in not having product in a timely manner and have taken steps to
assist you with continuous uninterrupted supply of product as we
commence our winding down. Effective immediately we have transferred all
of your contact information through to Alliance Entertainment. Alliance
has been our primary supply chain partner for almost 10 years now and we
feel very comfortable and confident that they will be more than capable
of servicing all your DVD and CD needs.

Kathie will be available during this transition phase to ensure
everything is managed as smoothly as possible and she will be liaising
with you and Alliance to handle any issues should they arise. You may be
concerned about pricing issues etc and at this time it is our
understanding that Alliance will be able to offer you pricing comparable
to or possibly better than you received from DVD Pacific but I am sure a
representative from Alliance once assigned to your account will be able
to supply you with all of this pertinent information.

Current filled items will be split off and shipped and backorders will
be cancelled and need to be submitted under new account. Should you not
wish the filled items to be shipped please let us know as soon as
possible and should any customer require a list of their backorders
Kathie would be more than happy to help and can be reached at
***@dvdpacific.com. We also expect there will be many questions and
will be more than happy to help in any way we can and urge you to ask as
we are here to help.

We wish to thank you for your support to date as many of you have been
with us for a substantial time and truly been a pleasure to work with.
We trust your businesses continue to prosper and your new partnership
with Alliance if you choose to go that route as I recommend is
profitable and successful. Please expect a follow up e-mail and
introduction from Alliance shortly.

Your sincerely,

Brad Searle
President
DVD Pacific Inc.

Thanks for posting that. I was getting worried about the length of time
it was taking for my last order to arrive (ordered not long before the
site went down). Fortunately for me, when I checked the mail today it
was there.

Mine was January 31st - so you've probably got another week. Remember,
the blizzards in the US screwed everything up.

I always worried about DVDPacific a couple of years back during a
cyclone or something.

Mine finally turned up today.

I'll really miss DVD Pacific. Can anyone recommend another US DVD/Blu-ray retailer apart
from Amazon?

I'll take a look at Alliance but Amazon and DVDPacific were the only
ones I ever used as I always had guaranteed delivery (though when my
Blu ray from DVDPacific of 'My Brilliant Career' went missing, I ended
up having to pay postage for the replacement, on the grounds that I'd
changed address three weeks after it had been mailed)

Deep Discount especially when they have their sales on.

Hi all

I believe this is DVDPACIFIC's replacement site with a new name (run
by Alliance - people who bought DP). Sadly, it doesn't appear as
though they do International Shipping:

Wondering if maybe dvdpacific will parcel out their stock to others,
which is why the letter was meant for commercial buyers.

I found out before I read this.
The indicator of whether they are in stock isn't there, unless I don't
know how to see it.
I always used that.

Can't convert to $A now and shipping seems dearer.

I haven't got that far yet. The priority international was the one of
choice. I wish they had the in stock indicator. It seems slower too.
