We belong to Costco and they only sell Sony DVD+Rs & DVD-Rs. Both are made in Malaysia. In the past, we had some bad experiences with Sony media so we stay far away from it. Several months ago we had gotten a 'Free Pass' to Sams Club and walked through their store and noticed that they had several different Verbatim products. They even had 50 packs of DLs for something like $65. Now when I go to their website they only have Verb Inkjet Printable DVD+R 50-packs for $27.38. Has anyone been to Sams Club recently? Do the stores carry more than what is on the website? Can you call the actual store and find out what they have in stock? I hate to join and then find out that they don't carry what we need.
Thanks!

Don't buy the Malaysian/Daxon Sony discs, those are awful. Only buy Taiwan/Daxon Sony, if buying Sony.

I've been buying Verbs from Sam's Club for a few years now; they normally code as MCC004s (MIT) and have been outstanding thus far. Lately they've only had the printables where I live so I'm waiting to stock up again. They usually have a pretty good price on the slimline single cases too if you go that way.

SysAdPgh- FWIW Tha'Dogg'S got it Pretty well sussed Out !!! . SamsClub Atleast The ones near me ( Central Louisiana ) X2 Have Switched to the Verbatim Printables For their Single Layer DVD Media And I checked This weekend They were Made in Taiwan , THey Did Have Regular Single Layer Verbatims From Around Thanksgiving Of 2008 Till About January 2009 But only in 50ct. Cakeboxes for $10.87 ea. I think It was a Clearance type -One time Deal ? Now Just Printables Except for Mini DVD's & CDR's They Also Have VErbatim DVD+R DL In 50CT tubs But These Are TH MADE IN INDIA ones Not MAde In Singapore That Most Prefer ! Odd that you would have problems with Sony ? I find it My Second to third Favorite brand - Taiyo Yudens , Verbatims , & sony Granted I have stayed away from The Malaysian Made Sony & have used only Made in Taiwan & Made in Japan Sony but Have Been Pleased none the Less !!! , But everyones Setup is different and perhaps your burners simply do not burn well with sony so That's that I suppose? Anyways Hope tha' Dogg ' & I were of some assistance if Even only in a minor Capacity ??? Good luck and Happy Burning My friend Ciao Y'all

@SysAdPgh
Surely you have friend with whom you could go to Sam's club. See what they have and if you want their media give your friend the money and let him purchase same!

Yeah, you can walk in and look around, you just can't purchase anything without a card. (Hint: hang out in the appetizer aisle, they've always got those little morsels like the mini sausages a-cookin'. Man I love that place. Just make sure if you're shopping in BigToxy's territory that you watch out for those Sasquatch droppings, they're bigguns. Woof!

At least for my Sam's Club, they carry the same Verbs that are found online. On a whim , I bought a few and although the hub is not printable, they are very good. I am down to my last 50 or so and although they are good I pretty much gave up on them once i found some silver printables by PiData which actually read as Ritek G05. I like this since they are pretty good quality wise, when printed on (ink jet) they have a cool reflective effect to them and, especially if you buy in bulk, are cheaper than the Verbs if you buy their 600 DVD deal for 150.00 (no tax or shipping charges also a plus and you get them usually within three to five days). Check them out here http://www.emediadepot.com/Silver_Inkjet...r8x-sih-600.htm

I don;t belive the people at Sams know what they are doing
At our nerest Sams Club
You can make a purchase with a Pass even non members
This is supposed to be One time only but as said they don;t know
Costco also has such a policy But are right on top of it.
Edit
When I bought the Verbatim 50pack 8x I also bought 2 packs Verbatim +RW disks 30 pack in Soft Black slim case $27 a pack

I couldn't take it anymore... So Saturday I joined Sam's Club. I didn't have time to shop so the only thing I bought was the 50-pack of Verbatim DVD+R DLs for around $60. Office Max wanted $40 for a 20-pack as did Best Buy. They are "Made in Singapore" so I should be OK. But we didn't have a problem with the "Made in India" ones. Thanks for all your help! I really appreciate all the responces.
