Hey Guys Got my Red light District GANGBANG#2 This Eve...Face of disc Terribly scatched because it detatched from its hub during shipment...Quickly placed it in my dvd player tray to make sure it would PLAY and thank god it DID!

My Question to you guys is AM I being to picky? This has happened to me other times with other orders...My Question is Can't the companies place a paper cover over the disc to protect it? In the event It disconnects from the hub during shipment? May be IM 2 PICKY? YAY or NAY? P.S Gangbang # 2 is AWESUM Good Job REDLIGHT District////but Gang Bang #1 is still My FAVoRite...............Later Guys

You are totaly right Its happened to me with Gang
Bang Angels with Jade Marcella. When I Got the box
I could hear it rattling in side.What with some
machines being so temperamental I'm surprised you
didn't have any problems.But If you think thats bad
how about renting from a video store for porn. Now
adays you have to check for sticky finger prints
on the disc before playing!

No, I don't think you are being too picky! These DVDs need to survive shipment to their new owners!

Brice,

I've had quite a few of my discs arrive rattling around loose in their clam-shell pack.

However, I have not yet had that prevent the disc from playing properly. No hitches or glitches - yet.

That's the one thing I hate about getting DVDs through the mail. When they come lose and rattle, I close my eyes when I open the wrap, not knowing what the condition of the DVD that is inside.

I don't think I've ever encountered an unplayable DVD that came lose, but it does suck when you hear rattling...

but I guess a rattle is better than a crackle.

I have found this not only in my mail shipments but in some of the ones on store shelves as well.

You would think they could come up with some way to prevent this.

Unfortunately, it's all too common.

When the new discs are unboxed at the local adult emporium, I always check for any "floaters" before buying. It seems the cases used nowadays hold the discs either too tight or too loose. So far, I haven't seen any so scratched that they were unplayable, but it's never a good feeling to hear the disc rattling around.

OTOH, considering I once had UPS break an LD, I guess the occasional loose DVD isn't the worst that could happen...

A ton of DVDs that come thru here are off the spindle. I used to think it was because UPS has to drive on bumpy dirt roads to get here. Guess not...

willing to bet that most discs rattling around are from Amaray style DVD holders....Amarays are the ones with the two separate pieces that you have to push down for the disc to pop out...I find that discs pop out pretty easily and also one part of the hub is prone to breaking.....my preferred DVD case is the Alpha style...these are the ones where you need to push down the tips on the top & the bottom to get the disc out...I know a lot of people who complain that the discs are too hard to get out with this storage method but in 5 years of buying DVDs I've never bought a disc that was rolling around that was on a Alpha....do I know too much about this?.....YES!!!!

I've cracked, snapped, and popped three discs... two from Private (not sure if that's the Alpha style case) and one that I didn't care for, so no prob with the last one breaking.

Ive actually had the same problem many times. The one studio that seems to be the worst to me is Private. Maybe they switched to a different kind of box and that is why you snapped them.

^^^yeah i agree Private ones are the world heavyweight champs at detatching from the hub.

I have found Evil Angel dvd boxes are excellent at holding the dvd in place.

Whenever I trade - i always tape down (very carefully) the dvd to avoid it arriving to fellow traders loose and scratched.

One of my new dvd's arrived rattling. I left the box unopened and emailed the company. They told me to play it, but I told them it was for a gift, and that I didn't feel right giving someone a rattler (this works if you're female), and said how much I would like my first dvd ordering experience to be a pleasant one, and they sent me a postage prepaid mailer (with part of my backorder) to return it for exchange. So it looks like I'm the picky one.

And now I don't feel so bad asking people when I buy used ones, to make sure they aren't rattling. Some people have shipped the used ones firmly on the hub, with a folded paper towel against each one, just in case.

Just got in some "euro" dvds at my store and they have a nifty cardboard and plastic case that the disc can't come loose in. However they are a title specific case not a generic.
Damn good cases though.

I've always thought that dvd cases should have some type of restraining bar holding the disc in.

But that would probaly cost a whole two cents more.

Sometimes it is impossibe to get the DVD off the little hub! But even though they rattle around in the store and in the mail, they always play OK.

I agree there should be some mechanism that keeps it from rattling around without making it too much of a pain to take out. I think the majority of my DVDs have come off by the time they arrived.

I'm a regular shopper at DV-Depot, and the first few times I ordered I got the discs in a carboard sleeve so that rattling around wouldn't ever damage the DVDs. I think when you buy from them, they have 3 options at checkout. You can just leave your DVD sealed, you can get them to open the disc and wrap the DVD in a paper towel to prevent damage, or you can get the cardboard sleeve thing I did. I think the sleeves are 25 cents per, but if you're shipping over a long distance, it's probably worth it.

I usually don't get the service now, cuz I live near their warehouse, and I've never had a "rattler".
