Returning DVD-Rs to NewEgg

[daniel1113]

A few weeks ago, I ordered a spindle of 16x Taiyo Yuden DVD-Rs to use for backing up my entire system. Long story short, I have been unable to achieve a single successful burn with over fifteen of the discs, using multiple drives in multiple computers at varying speeds.

According to NewEgg's return policy, they will not accept any returns or give any refunds for blank media unless the package is unopened. Obviously I have opened the package and tried to use the product. Has anyone here had a similar problem? Is it even worth my time to contact NewEgg to facilitate a return/refund despite the clear policy they have? Thanks.

Dont even try, you pay for shipping back - 15% its not worth it...

Call them and explain the problem.

Eh, I could still get $20 or so back, but it's a valid point. It's probably not worth the effort, I was just suprised that TY doesn't have a method of reporting possibly bad media and that NewEgg will not even deal with the issue.

Agree, or send 'NeweggSupport' a private message.

I am waiting to talk to a rep now. In the meantime, is there a website that tracks bad media batches in any form? I checked a few of the larger sites, like CD Freaks, but didn't see anything aside from a few forumn posts.

Well, NewEgg was willing to offer a replacement at no expense, other than the return shipping cost. I was pleasantly surprised. Now, the question is: Do they want me to return just the unused discs, or the bad burns as well?

Thanks a bunch.

I buy Made in Japan Fuji from Best Buy. $20 for 50. 8x TY that will burn at 16x.

See? Most companies are more than willing to work out a deal.

I would return everything unless there is something important/confidential on the bad burns

Oh, I didn't doubt that NewEgg would work with its customers... I am just surprised that they were willing to when they seemed to have such an explicit policy. Then again, I understand why it would be necessary to have that policy visible, even if they look at it on a case by case basis (think of how many people would try to return discs after using them).
