You're so hard on yourself!! :p
I don't think that catfreak's experience is isolated... I've said all along that I'm NOT spending that kind of money on something that might work... and NOW come to find out the longevity of BR media is a joke... I'm out for sure now!! :p
Thanks to JoeRyan for his input as well... ;)

Indeed. Thank you catfreak. I've been considering buying the stuff, and now I'm probably gonna wait quite a bit longer. Unless TY releases something in the near future. But if they were to, it'd no doubt be the most spendy...

Guys I'm registered with OfficeMax, they sent a on-line coupon code worth 30 bucks with any order over 200 bucks, I also know they have verbs on sale for 20 bucks per 100, if anybody is intersted in aquiring $200 worth of those verbs or a combination of other things that means you get your verbs even cheaper, plus free shipping, check thier website, I don't know if you can find a coupon without being registered, I got mine thru my e-mail, anyway might be worth a shot.

The only time SMS ever wronged me, was when they ran out of a "Free gift" item LOL! I was laughing about that. They held the entire shipment for 2 days because they ran out of a stupid 2 dollar item! I called them and told them to forget about the stupid item! ;)

99% of the time, it's 3 days for me. They're nothing if not predictable LOL! I definitely prefer SMS. I forget why, but Meritline turned me off. I may give them another shot though ;)

Meritline is quicker for me since there on the east coast (i'm in the Indianapolis area) compared to SMS being on the west coast, Garmoon it shouldn't take anymore than 5 business days to get your order

USED BOTH ?- SMS & MERITLINE - Can't rememberwhich one was quicker with delivery ? But then I have'nt ordered media from'em in a while either - O' the Perils of Online shopping ! _it could just be that bieng everyone wants to try the New jvc/taiyo yudens that demand is outstripping supply { backorders} or perhaps they just were'nt expecting this positive of a response ? that's the beauty of brick and mortar stores you can actually help yourself and physical get your media ! . I know thoygh that this axiom does'nt apply here though ! I would give them a few more days and if it has'nt arrive cancel the order Or Threaten to call your creditcard company & let them handle it ? - I live up the interstate apiece from GARMOON so I should get my orders about the same time when I do order online !

The storage might still last 30 yrs. or so on the JVC TYS. I don't like the glossy surface though or it doen't like my sharpies. I have to either apply less pressure when writing on them or more depending. The silver thermals were way better for that. I have new sharpies too.
Otn, I also agree on the B&M process. Go in n out n done. Works great when Best Buy has the Verbs at a decent price cause they're a few blocks away. For OM I'm going to wait until these TYS are all but done and if a decent sale go get a couple of hundred as in that case train fare + tax wouldn't be too much of a factor.
SMS takes a bit to get to the Apple also. Cali is about 4 days away ground shipping which is free. Never a issue though w/merchandise from them. I even bought HDDs from them and they were great.
I might be sticking to Verbs. Partly because there's not too much quality loss compared to TYS and the cost is cheaper + access. Top of that I'm only using them for some storage and rest maybe giveaways/business. More TB HDDs is what's coming 4 sure.

Sorry for your aggravation GARmoonY. ;) At least you can "mark" them off your list of places to get stuff. ;) Of course the EGG sells the discs at times too... NOT JVC that I know of but they do Ritek and Verbies. ;) Sometimes Verbies can be had for about $20 delivered. ;)
Goooood Luck or maybe Better luck next time with whomever you choose to buy from. ;)

The JVC Tys that I received from SMS were wrapped in a layer of bubble wrap and placed in a box full of styrofoam 'peanuts'
My SMS experience has been that the larger the order, the better the packaging.
Only one complaint . . the JVC discs could use a couple of more spacers in the cakebox . . the discs are kind of loose

garmoon that happen to me 1 time w/them. Just call them when you do say that next time make sure they package them better blah blah blah, that customers leave because of this. I know you're PO. I wouldn't rule them out completely though. They do respond to complaints and RMA really well.
Otn, I heard through the grapevine that UPS has a 6ft. drop from the docking station to truck or w/e. I don't pay mind to that. More important things iynwim. Unfortunately most free shippimg w/these guys are UPS, and a alternative will prolly cost.
The days of quality work and job appreciation are long gone. especially now w/this crisis.

So far during the last 5 years I have been ordering from them I have never encountered a problem, and if I ever do they will know it.

Fred thnx for confirming this. I got wind of it a couple of weeks ago when trying to help someone who thought his HDD was damaged and went on this notion by another member. While I didn't argue about the 6ft. drop being true, I seriously doubted he had HDD damage. I was right. He RMA'D it and still had same issue. Lol... After some troubleshooting we figured out the issue.

garmoon,
I don't know what the 50 packs are like, but the cake box TY uses for the 100s, flat sucks. Worst I've ever seen! The cover is hard to get off, and even harder to put on! The 100s come shipped without a foam spacer at the top as well, so you can pretty well throw out the top couple of DVDs. Newegg didn't help a lot by throwing it in a boxfull of peanuts and setting a piece of bubble wrap on top of it. This is what happens when you hire minimum wage workers, to cut costs!

My 500 came in 10 cake boxes of 50
and as I previously posted, the discs were loose in the cake boxes and could use a couple of more spacers . . not SMS's fault . . typical of Taiyo Yuden

I've experienced similar issues with the cake packages. Loose discs. Fortunately, nothing has happened to the discs yet, because of that. Hope it never does...
