If leaving an order on our answering machine you will have all the time you need.
If you need to speak with someone in person, please call during our regular business hours:

Mail Orders
Orders can also be placed by mail with a personal check or money order.
First time customers paying by check must allow 2 weeks for a check to clear.
Please send all mail orders to the address below:

Cinema Classics
332 East 11th Street
New York, NY 10003

Delivery Time
We ship 95% of all orders within 2-7 days, so you should get your package in 2 weeks or less.
We ship all orders out in the order they were received, so please allow the 7-day maximum even though in most cases, your package will go out sooner.
Please note that first time customers ordering by personal check may have to wait longer than the 2 week period. Yes, checks clear in less time than that, but banks do not inform their accounts about checks that have bounced until about 3 weeks after the fact.

Out of Stock Situations
We are a catalog, not a manufacturer so, at times, items can be out of stock. We stock most of the items in this catalog, but not all. Some more obscure or expensive items are special orders. If you need to know exact delivery time, please call before ordering.
Also, please keep in mind that the video and laser disc and DVD market changes rapidly. Items go in and out of print all the time, often without notice. If you plan to order any item marked limited quantity, please check with us to see if the item is still available.
If you order an item that is discontinued and that we no longer have in stock, we'll make an effort to acquire it for you but this can take time. If the item can not be found you will be issued a credit.

Returns and Exchanges
We'll replace any defective item with the same title only. In some cases, defective tapes may not have to be returned. Please contact us immediately if you have received a defective item and we will instruct you from there.
If you have to return a defective item, just send it back to

Cinema Classics
332 East 11th Street
New York, NY 10003

Defectives must be returned within 120 days of receipt.
Exchanges for different titles or refunds are not given.
Like a movie theatre we can't guarantee your personal taste. Please be sure that the title you order is the title you want. We'll be happy to answer any questions about program content before you place your order.
There are no titles in this catalog of questionable print quality so absolutely no refunds or exchanges will be given for complaints about picture quality.
In addition, we carry only the longest version available of every title we offer. Therefore, no returns will be accepted for discrepancies in running time between a title we sell and an alternate version (i.e., the original theatrical running time of a film).

Packaging
We're endeavoring to eliminate all titles that come only in generic cases.
95% of the titles in the catalog come with full-color, descriptive packaging.
If you'd like to inquire what form any titles you're planning to order come in, we'll be glad to tell you.

Foreign Orders
We ship airmail overseas unless instructed to do otherwise.
Faster, more expensive options such as UPS and FedEx are available as well as slower, and cheaper surface mail.
For airmail, allow 2-3 weeks. Surface, allow 2-3 months.
We've endeavored to make the postage chart on the order form as accurate as possible, but it's impossible to create a short, simple, totally accurate chart for every country in the world.
Please remember that heavier, larger items such as books and laser discs may cost more to ship than tapes.
Tapes are available in PAL and SECAM for an extra charge of $12.50 per title, $15.00 for a title over 2 hours.

Wholesale Rates
Video stores and libraries who plan to purchase regularly may be eligible for wholesale rates.
Please bear in mind that we can offer any title that is currently in print, not just what's described in the catalog. That means we can provide you with any item a distributor offers – as well as many they do not.

Credit Terms
Libraries, schools, colleges and universities can submit purchase orders, and are eligible for Net 30 terms.

Search Service
Practically alone in the video industry, we continue to provide free searches.
Searches are provided for active customers only.
We do not charge for searches for 10 items or less.
You can call, write, or email us anytime with want lists and we'll respond if we can locate your items.
Please keep in mind that hard-to-find titles may take a long time to locate.
For want lists of more than 10 titles, please write, and include an order for at least one item with your list.
