Is this EzyDVD you`re talking about? To be honest, DVDs don`t go missing or arrive damaged often enough to make it worthwhile. I`d save the $5.00, then once you`ve ordered 6 or 7 DVDs, order an extra one with the money you`ve saved :-)

Hang on, if it arrives & is damaged (or get`s lost in the post) aren`t you entitled to ask for a replacement anyway?

we are about to find out folks i ordered alien legacy box set from EZY it arrived with a customs charge on it because they put $105 value on it (which pushed it over £36) instead of the $90that it really is (international price no GST) and yes it was marked as gift also after paying £7.39 surcharge when i got it home the cases in side the box were all broke and 3 of the disc`s had come off the mounts and are quite badly scratched and marked i have sent the following mail to them and now await a reply .........

hi guys couple of things to tell you regarding this order 1) i was charged
import tax on this order as you put down $105 on the value of the package
not the $90 it actually cost according to the international price so i had
to pay an extra £7 ($18 ish) also the dvd cases are damaged not the box but
the cases inside and the discs have worked loose which has badly scratched
some of them also the separator in the alien case which holds the legacy
disc is broken they really are all in a bad way i also received my phantom
menace disc this week and that was A1 condition if you could get back to me
on this please regards <censored;-)>

bye 4 now

p.s yes i did pay for insured post $17 it was mandatory
