Reliable, great company
I've used Rarewaves numerous times for cds and they are more reasonably priced than other sellers for sure. They always arrive well packaged and I've never had a problem with an order. I certainly can recommend this company.

My Experience shopping in Rarewaves
Good prices and sales. The delivery is sometimes fast but other times is too long. Perhaps blame it on the postal service.

They had exactly what I needed, when I couldn't find it anywhere else.
Prices are fair, and the ordering process was simple and hassle free.
It was packed with great care, and arrived incredibly quickly given the distance it had to travel.
Plus they used a reliable carrier so it was delivered without issue.

The items were shipped separately so they did not come at the same time but everything came and was undamaged upon arrival. I am really glad to be able to shop at Rarewaves and find rare DVDs/Blu-rays that are very expensive everywhere else. I'd definitely buy from Rarewaves again given the convenience
