This is a case in which I could give the retailer a negative 100.
I ordered a new movie from Newtown Video through Alibiris, which I also will NEVER use again, a few weeks ago.

As someone who has been collecting vinyls for some time, I wish that I received the best quality products when purchased at a full price. I do not recommend spending...
