Q: Is ordering from this website safe?

A: Yes!
PayPal does process all credit card, debit card and eCheck transactions, so whether you sign into your PayPal Account to make your purchase or pay as a guest PayPal keeps all your information safe. Using the PayPal Shopping Cart and Checkout is safer than making a direct payment online using a credit card, debit card or eCheck transaction because when you send a payment using PayPal, the recipient (in this case Sunshine Vintage Movies) will not receive any sensitive financial information like your credit card or bank account number. This way, you don't have to worry about paying people you don't know because you are also protected as a buyer by PayPal. In addition, all data is encrypted for extra protection against fraud and identity theft. You DO NOT need a PayPal Account to Checkout with the PayPal Shopping Cart.

Q: Why does Sunshine Vintage Movies provide such rare movies?

A: Sunshine Vintage Movies (SVM) is a specialty website in which we offer a small selection of handpicked, very rare, out of print (OOP) movies that are virtually impossible to find. We enjoy sharing movie memories that are special to us. The 1973 movie Sunshine and 1977 sequel Sunshine specifically have an exceptional place in our hearts. We service many online venues but this small website is of particularly interest to us for that reason.
We only offer about 12-30 very rare, hard to find movie selections at a time but inventory does change from time to time so please check back often.

Q: What is the quality of the Movies you offer on DVD?

A: Please Note: All DVD movies, Series Sets and Mini-Series Sets sold on the Sunshine Vintage Movies Website are Region 1, NTSC Format. Meaning, they will play in the USA on USA DVD Players.
We search hard to find the best video & audio presentation possible for the movies offered. All movies listed on the current selections gallery are in English (Audio) and most do not have subtitle options unless specifically stated on that movie description page. We can absolutely assure you that the movies offered on this website are the best quality you can find for any of the current selections being offered.
The DVD’s are shipped in a clear plastic DVD case, or cases, as well as a bubble wrap envelope, or box with bubble wrap padding, for protection.
Video & Audio ratings are provided at the bottom of each movie description page and are an average based on customer feedback for that specific movie. At Sunshine Vintage Movies we provide an opportunity for fans of these virtually impossible to find movie's a chance to re-experience a movie or movie's that have had special meaning. Also, to perhaps share the experience with someone special in your life as well.
It is a goal to provide an affordable, joyful and memorable experience for all. We suggest that you always view the older movies with a positive attitude. Taking into consideration that at the time these movies were made none of what we know today existed. There was no such thing as digital or high definition, etc. Keeping that in mind, and taking into account the age of the movies, they are indeed very enjoyable to experience again, or for the first time.
Many of the DVD's we are able to provide are new DVD-R Discs and do not come with cover art, unless specifically stated on that movie description page. Illustrations or photos shown are for identification purposes only in most cases, unless specifically stated on that movie description page. All items are provided to us by reputable sources with good ratings. Although some of the movies offered on the Sunshine Vintage Movies website may have not been released in the U.S.A. they have been overseas and some are now considered as a public domain status.
The Nashville Series DVD Sets, Seasons 5 & 6 have not yet been released in the USA market but have been released overseas. We are happy to have found a reputable and reliable overseas distributer that does offer these sets in the Region 1 NTSC video standard (USA & Canada), meaning they will play on American DVD Players.
The Nashville Series DVD Sets are brand new and on eleven (season 5) and eight (season 6) printed label DVD-R Discs that are Region 1 NTSC (USA) Format and come in protective sleeves with no cases or cover art and will play on USA DVD Players. These sets will be shipped in boxes and wrapped in bubble wrap for protection in route to you. In order to not reveal the identity of our distributor we remove discs from their original packaging from the distributor and place them in protective white sleeves that are then securely bubble wrapped and boxed for protection in transit. Please note that if we were to reveal our resources that would be detrimental to our business as a retailer so we obviously cannot have that. We search long and hard to find the reputable resources that we employ. For your peace of mind, we have been assured and verified through the USDMAC that the DVD Sets that we offer are legally distributed.
Please also see the Testimonials Page for comments made from previous buyers.

Q: What if my order arrives but it is damaged or defective?

A: If a DVD does not play properly upon arrival, meaning the movie will not play, you get an error message or it plays but skips or freezes then please try viewing the movie in another viewing source because older DVD players can be problematic. Be sure the back of the DVD is clean, shiny and free from dust, fingerprints or any kind of dirt or smudge. If the problem persists you may have received a defective DVD. Defects are very rare but unfortunately they do happen. If you believe that you've received a defective DVD please use one of the Defect Options below.

This Is What To Look For And What We Require For Proof Of A Defect.

Defect Option 1:
A. Are there any scratches, small cracks, chips on the edge of the disc or discolorations (such as dark rings) on the back of the DVD? If so, please take a picture of the front and back of the DVD so that we can clearly see that it is a DVD that we have provided and then email those pictures back to us. If we can verify that there is an obvious defect in the form of damage to the disc the return of the DVD is not required for us to ship out a replacement.
B. Alternatively, for a defect not related to damage: Please take a short video using your cell phone clearly showing a DVD that we have provided being loaded and then showing what happens when the movie acts up (skips, freezes, doesn't play or you get an error message) -- and then email that short video to us. That will be proof that a defect has occurred on a DVD that was provided by Sunshine Vintage Movies. If you can provide this proof the return of the DVD is not required for us to ship out a replacement.
***If you are unable to provide either of these options to prove a defect via email on video or on pictures for a DVD that we sent you then please use Defect Option 2.

Defect Option 2:
Return the defective DVD to the address below and we will inspect it and then get a replacement DVD right out to you. We will refund your cost to return the defective DVD to us if the DVD is indeed found to be defective. DO NOT ship using First Class or Priority Mail. We will only reimburse for standard Media Mail shipping and the shipping label that you use to return the defective DVD must clearly show the cost you paid for shipping.

Return Shipping Address:
Sunshine Vintage Movies
PO Box 1652
Blue Ridge, GA 30513

Please Note: If you're DVD was damaged in route (scratched, chipped or cracked) and you did not choose one of the insured shipping options (Priority Mail or UPS Ground) at checkout we will replace the DVD at no cost to you but you will be responsible for the cost of shipping the replacement DVD. If the DVD is in good condition but is not playing correctly (such as skips, freezes or doesn't play) we will replace the DVD at no cost to you and we will cover the cost of shipping the replacement DVD but you will need to provide proof, either as described above or by returning the DVD.

Q: What is your policy on returns and refunds?

A: No returns are accepted or refunds offered after an order has processed, all sales are final. However, it is our goal to provide an enjoyable experience for all. If an item purchased from Sunshine Vintage Movies should arrive damaged in route or is in any way defective upon arrival please return it for a replacement. In addition, we will refund your return postage cost if the DVD or DVD's are indeed found to be defective or damaged. Please be sure to include a receipt if the cost of postage is not shown on the return envelope/package but DO NOT ship using First Class Mail or Priority Mail. We will only reimburse for standard Media Mail shipping.
We do not provide a refund option after the shipping label for an order has been printed, which indicates the order has been processed and is in route. Today there are too many programs that will allow people to copy the content from the most state of the art, highly protected DVD movies. It is precisely this reason that we can only offer a replacement in the event of a defect or damaged DVD.

Q: What if my order gets lost in the mail?

A: It is very rare that an order gets delivered to the wrong address, or lost in the mail. Priority Shipping or UPS Ground does include shipping insurance that covers lost items. For all other shipping methods chosen at the time of checkout Sunshine Vintage Movies takes no direct responsibility for orders after being shipped. If the order tracking information shows that an order has been delivered but you did not receive it then please contact your local postal service, as we have no control over an item after it has been shipped. After you have checked with your local postal service, checked with neighbors that may have received the item by mistake and waited a reasonable amount of time (that time based on your conversation with your local postal service). If you still have no satisfactory answers you will need go through the steps shown here by the USPS for for a Missing Mail Claim. After you've completed the following coursesof action, then please contact us... and we will do everything we can to help make your experience a good one.

Q: Is Sunshine Vintage Movies a BBB Accredited Business?

A:

SVM Is Celebrating 12 Years Strong!

Although Sunshine Vintage Movies (SVM) has an A Rating with the Better Business Bureau (BBB) we are not accredited with the BBB because we simply cannot afford it. The BBB charges a minimum $585 per year to be considered an accredited business for a business our size. Sunshine Vintage Movies is a small specialty website that is now 12 years in business, in which we offer about 30 movies and or Series Sets at a time for a very small profit. We take pleasure in providing an affordable opportunity for fans of these virtually impossible to find movies and DVD Sets a chance to re-experience a movie or movies that have had special meaning. Also, to perhaps share the experience with someone special in your life, like your child or a new friend. The Testimonials Page can attest to that, and you could not find better quality elsewhere. We search long and hard to find the best video and audio quality that is currently available for selections that we offer on the SVM website.

Did you know that the BBB is not a government agency? Although the BBB portrays themselves as a regulatory government agency and use a .org domain extension to try to help sell this impression/illusion they are a privately owned company that makes over 5 Billion dollars a year and provide very little service for the money they make. In fact, after researching further you will find that there are many complaints, lawsuits, and class-action lawsuits against the BBB itself. For everything from failing to provide any help to consumers that file a complaint, to posting false reviews and failing to vet reviews, to blatant extortion of businesses, as well as slanderous intentions a defamatory rhetoric to forcefully gain the exorbitant annual fees from businesses. You'll find that many people as well as politicians are very surprised that the BBB is still in business at all, because so many consider them nothing more than a legal (so far) form of extortion to honest businesses. Any Tom, Dick or Mary can file a false claim, review or complaint and even though that business may have never spoken to nor done any business with this individual the BBB will post their remarks, which in turns can often hurt a small business trying to get off the ground. So often that the business owner will pay the BBB for accreditation out of fear and concern for their business's well being; and then, complaints and reviews will suddenly begin to take a turn in favor of the newly accredited business now paying for 'protection' from the BBB. One of the most surprising and telling practices of the BBB is the fact that they will post a negative review immediately, even though it is not vetted, but positive reviews will take upwards of 6 months to finally be posted and displayed publicly. Does this sound like honest business practices to you?

Is BBB Accreditation Important? In truth, the value of a BBB accreditation lies solely the eye of the beholder. For some customers, a BBB accreditation could be a make-or-break factor when choosing a company to work with. For other customers, however, a BBB accreditation might mean next to nothing. The BBB is not trusted by many folks today and only has a 'Trust Score' itself of 1.7 out of 5 on TrustPilot, which is not surprising given the fact that they are a strictly profit motivated private business. It seems that only the much older generations take the BBB into consideration today when it comes to deciding to do business with a company or not. Today there are much more reliable sources online and of course the best source of all, which are direct customer verified testimonials.
