ADV Films?
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, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
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.

The ones I'm looking at buying are the Starburst editions. I priced it by a adding together the 3 Starburst editions necessary to make a full season and came up with...
S1 = $32 (8+8+16)
S2 = $39 (13+13+13)
S3 = $39 (13+13+13)
S4 = $60 (20+20+20)
All in all, a very good deal since S1 of Farscape without as many extras is $115 at Amazon. The Starburst packs *are* 2 discs but the descriptions say they're double-sided (not my fave) and seem to have around 6-7 episodes per pack. Which was what set off my "too good" bells but I now think this is legit.

Yeah, that really is the format for the Starburst editions, AFAIK. And they have more commentaries and extras, so if you can live with the double-sidedness, I'd say they're the way to go - the Farscape lot give great commentary :).
