Great company, have purchased with them quite a few times. Stock a lot of the niche suppliers and you can get a great range of Asian films for good prices, including some rare ones to find in the UK.... See more

They delivered a very late bought gift for Christmas, and it arrived Christmas Eve. Very good prices, and well packaged. I will definitely be using them again in the future

I love Terracotta. You can tell they (led by Joey) care about what they sell and how they do it. I like using them for labels like Third Window, Eureka! and 88 Films but particularly Third Window beca... See more

Great company

Great company, have purchased with them quite a few times. Stock a lot of the niche suppliers and you can get a great range of Asian films for good prices, including some rare ones to find in the UK. Customer service is always good, you know you're talking to an actual human and get the better class of service that comes with that.

3 months is too long to wait. *Edited to reflect excellent customer service*

I placed my order on April 19, and only just received it in July. I get that I am in USA and shipping takes time BUT this is my 2nd order, my first order was one that got lost earlier this year (you guys had to make announcements about the delays). 3 months per order is a very long time. I also sent emails asking about my order. I did not receive any communication in return. I did not even know if my package was being shipped until July 3rd, which is a very long time. I like your selection and want to order again, but the lack of communication is frustrating and makes me wary of more business, considering you guys are not 2 for 2 on taking absolutely forever to ship things to me. I order things from china and it only takes them a month to get it to me, whats your excuse in Britain?

*EDIT* I did not realize that this was a public review. I would like to state for the record that Terracotta contacted me within a few hours of this 'review' (I thought I was messaging them directly) and explained a few things.

One of the titles I ordered was a preorder and we had to wait on that. They've apologized for not responding to my inquiry emails and I accept them fully. They have said that they are making their US shipping faster and I look forward to making another purchase. Terracotta has probably the best selection of asian movies of any independent site out there (that I know of at least) and they organized the site really well. They make it easy to find movies not just by category, but by country, which is a great feature.

I've changed my stars rating from 3 to 4 stars on this order to reflect the individual customer service that they have provided so quickly.

Hi Jeremy - thanks for taking time to write this review.

We are genuinely glad you took the time to leave this message as you could have easily decided to just never shop from us again and we would have never known why.

For your second order in April, there was a preorder title that was released in July, HOLY VIRGIN and this was shipped as soon as we received the stock.

For any release date changes and delays from the label's side we aimed to communicate to all customers via email, via our news page and on social media. I'm sorry that this update did not reach you and if you have any suggestions on how best to get the latest info to you, please do let us know.

I have also just found your email query regarding the order and apologies for missing and not replying to this. We now have more people on the team, precisely because of the shortfall in covering customer services adequately.

For the First order in February, there were delays due to a supplier's warehouse move which we had emailed customers extensively about to keep everyone informed and had apologised on multiple times for the order wait time.

In addition, there was a title that was out of stock which we had emailed you about as well to ask how to proceed.

All in all, I'd like to apologise for two poor experiences you've had, the first due to warehouse disruptions which we tried to manage as best as we could, the second was due to inadequate comms on our side which I'm confident we have now fixed.

Given the amount of positive reviews we've had, I hope that you would like to give us a third go and I will keep an eye out for your order to ensure you are kept updated on the status of it.

We also have improved shipping in place now so that parcels will reach the US much faster than previously.

Please do message me directly if there is anything else you'd like to share or suggest, I definitely would appreciate any input to make our store a store that you would love shopping at.

Excellent value! In the Line of Fire box set is well put together and I cannot wait to dive in. The art and interview book is amazing. Shipped quickly and packaged well.

In the states and this is my go to.

I am in the states but this is one of the few places that will ship me my absurd hk exploitation and Japanese whacky films. I been using them for a few years now and they always ship on time and for a international purchase arrives safe and quickly.

Honestly my favourite distributor of East Asian cinema

Honestly my favourite distributor of East Asian cinema! They're genuine fans of the films themselves, so the experience is literally tailored by the fans for the fans! Pre-order discounts are always fire too! I will always check Terracotta first before anywhere else when it comes to my physical media collection!

Number one stop for Asian movies

Absolutely amazing service. Great place to pick up your Asian movie titles. I've been using this site for many years now and they never disappoint. They will always keep you up to date regarding your recent orders. If a title has been pushed back they will keep your order until it's ready to ship. My movies always come safe and secure and always arrive very promptly.

It's my number one stop for Asian movies and limited editions.
