I’ve been using a site called GRUV which is WB and Universals site for all their physical media. There’s another called Bull Moose and then I’ll order directly now from companies like A24, Criterion and Shout Factory. I don’t mind spending a little extra to supper the companies directly.

I order from GRUV regularly and I’ve been a Bull Moose customer for over twenty years, that was my local shop when I was a teenager.

I’m outside Atlanta so I wasn’t familiar with Bull Moose but I’m glad I found them. I completely agree with your statement and I’ll never go back. I should’ve been supporting the companies directly long ago instead of thinking about saving a few bucks but I’ll rectify that from this point forward.

One of the best places to shop physical is from https://Orbitdvd.com

Yes, I regularly order from them

My spirit was willing, my flesh (and funds) were weak: 'Laurel & Hardy Year 2' from Flicker Alley: USPS wanted as much for postage to Australia as the cost of the discs. Amaz*n a 1/4 of that. I hoped that Flicker Alley would get most of the cost minus a commission. What to do...

This could be seen as a drop in the bucket for these companies, and likely is, but it won’t be for the labels and studios using these retailers for exclusive editions. We can send that message if we care enough to.

May not matter much to mega-companies, but local businesses feel the difference in a good way 👍

As always, but direct from labels where possible and support indie retailers for any and all physical media goods. Supporting small businesses is more important now than ever.

That’s one of the reasons for my Vinegar Syndrome subscription 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻 I live in Germany and I need to import my Blu Rays so I’m a bit limited in online shops I can use but I also cancelled my order of Discotek Media BD’s on Amazon in favour of @worldofcrap.bsky.social new shop !!!
