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 actually heard about it from you, I think. It took longer than say ordering for Amazon, but the wait was worth the price. So far, no damaged disks but I haven't watched them all yet. (And I see one disc got dislodged and possible scratched, but that's one out of 3 seasons.) I got the Starburst editions which are nice. I'd very glad that I bought them through ADV.

To be honest, I don't quite remember that disclaimer when I bought them, though.

I've been very tempted to buy some of the anime discs for the library collection, but I haven't yet. However, I just had a huge stack donated by a teen, but they're ones she found used at various shops and doesn't have a complete run of anything. Maybe I can find some titles at ADV's sale to fill in the blanks.

They've certainly got a banner sale going. Their site is a bit basic but those prices are just phenomenal. Makes me wish I knew which anime my brother likes so much because I'd pick some up for Christmas for him. Good thing I don't know, I guess, since I'd never be able to find it again come December. :)
