Hello Johanna, According to our records, we ordered 11 titles from this vendor between 2003 and 2011.
Our last order was placed in August 2011. Our notes show that the price included a charge for institutional use, but the total cost of the order was still under $36.00. (I do not know if their charges are different now.) The payment was processed through PayPal. The video took 4 days to arrive. I do not see any indications in our records that we ever had any problems with this vendor. Hope this helps, Michael S.

I'm the Visual Resources Curator at Pratt Institute and was put in charge of the film and video collection about a year ago. I'm not sure if such a question is taboo or not, but we are looking to purchase some films that are only available from iranianmovies.com, and I was wondering if anyone who has worked with this vendor in the past would be willing to share their experiences good and bad off list. Also, I was trying to see if it is possible to search the list archives, but I couldn't find an easy way to do this. Thanks a bunch.
