Technically legitimate, but wouldn't be my first choice
They're okay, I guess. I ordered The Bob Crane Show and Arsenic & Old Lace (1969) from them back in February. I got what I asked for, so no worries there. The recordings weren't the best, although they were still good enough to see.
However:
• I never got the free movie I was promised. (They tried to tell me it depends on availability, which - in my eyes - if the deal is up at the time I place the order, that means they're available)
• They wouldn't send me the movie separately after I pointed that out, even after I included a screenshot to show that the same deal still up on their website that day.
• They sent me a black and white version of Arsenic and Old Lace, despite the fact the website listing clearly said it's in color. Tried to tell me whether or not it's in color depends on their source material used at the time, and that it states as much in their store policy. (I'm sorry, but who's out here checking store policy things like that?🤨 That's the whole point of the listing!) The movie also appeared to be cut short, which I know because the b&w version of it on YouTube was about 40 minutes longer than the one I received. However, that version was also worse quality then the disc version I received from Loving the Classics as well.
• After 2 months went by (it says items can take up to 8 weeks to ship), I had to reach out to the company to Messenger before I got an update on the status of my order. I was told in stock items only take 2 weeks to ship...but then you supposedly can't order anything unless it's in stock, so don't really understand that one. Seems like circular logic.
• They took forever to respond to emails and texts.
All of those were things I wasn't happy with. So yeah, while Loving the Classics is technically legitimate, they're definitely on the morally grey side. Wouldn't use them again unless I had no other choice. If you order from them I'd use a virtual version of your card, just to be safe.
But honestly, I'd recommend using a different company (such as True TV Movies) if at all possible. Not only are THEY honest and quick to communicate, they offer digital downloads as an option for anything you purchase. They'll even send you a sample of a product you're interested in before you buy it, so that you can see the quality of what you'll be getting. I got Sex and the Married Woman (1977) from them when I couldn't find it anywhere else, and I was very pleased with my purchase.
