FAQ

HAVE QUESTIONS?

When are the shows?

We launch in January 2027. Show days and times will be announced here and on our Whatnot profile nearer the time, so follow us there to get notified when we go live.

Do you ship outside the UK?

Not at the moment. We currently ship within the UK only. Postage is calculated at checkout by Whatnot or eBay.

Which regions do you stock? Will they play on my player?

We stock titles from all regions. UK and European Blu-rays are usually Region B, and US imports are usually Region A, though many imports are region free. Our DVDs are typically Region 2 or region free, while some imports carry the region code of their home country. 4K UHD discs are almost always region free.

Anything that isn’t Region B (Blu-ray), Region 2 (DVD) or region free will always be clearly stated in the listing.

To play a non-UK region disc, you’ll need a player that’s multi-region for that format. Many “multi-region” players are only multi-region for DVD, with Blu-ray locked to one region, so check your player’s specs before bidding. If you’re not sure, just ask.

Do your imports have English audio or subtitles?

Almost always. If a release doesn’t have English audio or English subtitles, we’ll say so clearly in the listing.

Are discs new or pre-owned? How do you grade condition?

Both. We stock an eclectic mix of pre-owned and new titles, many of them still sealed. Pre-owned items are graded Like New, Very Good or Good, with the disc and the case or slipcover graded separately. Any flaws are listed, and shown on camera during shows.

Do you sell DVDs and 4K UHD?

Our focus is Blu-ray, but we also sell 4K UHD and the occasional DVD, usually rare or out of print titles that have never made it to Blu-ray.

What’s the difference between Matinee Madness and Grindhouse Mayhem?

Matinee Madness covers every genre, mostly on Blu-ray, with the odd 4K or DVD. Grindhouse Mayhem is our after-dark show for cult horror and all its sub-genres, from giallo and slashers to exploitation and the downright strange.

Can I buy outside the shows?

Yes. Selected stock is also listed on our eBay shop.

Can I request a title?

Of course. Drop us a line at itch@thefleapit.co.uk or ask in chat during a show. We can’t promise to find everything, but we’ll always do our best.

Do you combine postage if I win several items?

Yes. On Whatnot, everything you win in a show ships together, and where Whatnot allows, we can hold items over to combine with your next show. On eBay, postage is charged per checked-out order, and if you’ve paid more postage than it cost us to send, we’ll refund the difference.

Are slipcovers, booklets and inserts included?

Yes. Everything ships exactly as we received it. If a release came with a slipcover, booklet, poster or any other extras, they’re included.

How are discs packed?

1 to 4 items ship in padded envelopes. 5 or more are wrapped together in bubble wrap and sent in a waterproof mailer, and orders of 20 or more usually go in a box. Anything with a slipcover gets cardboard inserts so the outer sleeve doesn’t get crushed.

What if a disc arrives damaged?

Contact us through Whatnot, eBay or itch@thefleapit.co.uk and we’ll put it right.

Do you buy collections?

Yes. We’re happy to look at Blu-ray and 4K UHD collections of any size. Cult and horror are our speciality, but all collections are welcome. We’ll also consider DVDs that are rare or out of print, especially titles that have never been released on Blu-ray, or whose Blu-ray release is no longer available. Send a list or a few photos to itch@thefleapit.co.uk.
