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] 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.

I saw that they were HQ'ed here in Houston - my cheap side was cursing that I'd have to pay sales tax - but it didn't even occur to me that they might have a retail outlet. Hmmm.

The sale is unbeatable -- $32 for a complete collection of Farscape S1 with all the extra extras rather $114 at Amazon for S1 that's missing a lot of the extras -- but unviewable DVDs aren't a bargain at all.

I did Google them before asking and saw that they seem to be awfully big in the anime world. I'm probably being overly cautious but my "too good to be true" alarms are going.
