They have never bothered to respond to any of the questions that I have asked them on FB

Anything i've asked them via email they've always responded to.

I've never had a customer service issue with them, but plenty folk complain on Facebook about it

Probably because we don't begin our correspondence with 'You ****ing cocksuckers' and communicate in a polite and courteous manner.

Some young lass on FB a few weeks back had a profile pic that read '88 films are cancer'. I appreciate that some of their releases have not been as good as one could hope but some of its a little OTT (or maybe its just me). I've had people freak out on me because I bought 88's release of Amuck over camera obsucras, why? 88's cost me £9.99 and CO's release, while i'm sure its good is £30+ dependent on where I bought it. Given i'm staring redundancy in the face its plain common sense, especially as what I've seen suggests very little difference in the AV quality. I find devotion to labels a bit weird, I wouldn't buy shock treament because I don't like the film, some would merely because it has arrow on it. Blind hatred of a label seems just as weird however.

The thing is, 88 licensed the master from CO so the rule is always buy local first and foremost. CO still got their money from your purchase. It's hardly 88's fault if CO further tweaked before putting out their release is it?

Disclaimer, I'm not an 88 fanboy (far from it in fact) i'm just being realistic

Whenever I've emailed 88 or James and Richard at their respective email addresses they've always replied, maybe within the hour, maybe within 24 hours but certainly within the week.

The main problem with people posting on Facebook is they usually ask really stupid questions or post really stupid comments. The most common are - "I've never heard of this film" and "when is this title been released". If you've never heard of a title like the Tiny Tim one the other week look on IMDB, if you want to know when somethings been released read the post announcing it or look on bloody Amazon. It isn't difficult!
