ADV Films?

[hsapiens]

Has anyone ordered DVDs before from ADV Films? They've got this unbelievable sale on Farscape, Andromeda, and Mutant X. (Thanks for the heads up, rydra_wong!) I'd loaded up my cart with 4 seasons of Farscape and 2 of Andromeda when I see this at checkout:

All Sales are Final. Unless otherwise noted, defective products may be returned within 14 days of purchase, for EXCHANGE or IN STORE-CREDIT ONLY. NO REFUNDS. A 10% restocking fee may apply. Shipping charges are NOT refundable.

Products offered through this sale are clearance and close-out items. As such, product bar codes will be reconfigured, replaced or physically altered (including by means of cutting, punching or drilling). Some products may be open box. Some products may be delivered without full retail packaging. Except as expressly provided otherwise, products are sold as-is.
...
1. ALL SALE ITEMS. Please allow 1 - 4 weeks for processing and shipping due to high sales volumes.

At these prices, I can accept that I won't have a bar code on the sets and I don't really care that it might come minus an insert...but those return policies make me leery of getting scratched, "as is" discs delivered a couple of weeks past the time when they'll even reluctantly consider accepting an exchange where I pay shipping and possibly a restocking fee. :|

That flu that's rampaging through Texas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas right now? It sucks. Big, big time.

Ah. Gotcha. Maybe I'll drive by tomorrow on my way to pick up the kid's friend (three or four teen girls and the Galleria - if no one hears from me by 6 tomorrow night, please send reinforcements ;-).

I miss the old Westpark. I remember when it was completed all the way to Kirby... I could drive from where I lived then (what's now the parking lot of a Super Kroger) to where I worked then (Dunvale and Westheimer) and see nary a car. No one had discovered it yet. 'Twas a lovely thing.

It really stinks that so many yuppies have discovered the Inner Loop, doesn't it? I might have complained about all the yuppies willing to buy McMansions out in the sticks and the incredible commutes they'd make each day polluting our air -- but the ability to zip around inside the Loop was a lovely thing.

Ain't that the truth? I used to sometimes come home from work by driving through downtown. It was great. The city would be deserted and that was always a fairly magical thing. Then, after a few years of not doing it for some reason or other, I tried again. AAAHAHHH!!!! Where the hell did all those *PEOPLE* come from! OMG they LIVE there!!!! NOOOOOOO! I 'popped' down to Spec's downtown earlier this evening in search of one of the large tubs of Roast Garlic Hummus (Kroger only carries the little ones). Talk about *traffic*! It was insane.

I really wish I worked along the rail line. It's so convenient to my house (10 minute drive to the Park & Ride lot). It actually makes jury duty enjoyable. Hey! How did your jury duty go?

I live just too far from the rail head to walk to it. There was a time when I could have, but my hips won't let me any more. Now, when they *extend* it, I might be able to take it to work. That would be great.

Jury duty was a breeze. They let most of us go mid-morning since they purposely don't schedule that many trials that close to the holidays. It's the first time I haven't been assigned to a panel in years.
