Maxell - 100 x DVD-R - 4.7 GB 16x - spindle - storage media Review

The Maxell DVD-R discs are, for the most part, very reliable to record on. I have used this brand for years. However, the discs must be in pristine condition in order to properly record. My complaint isn't with the discs as much as it is with the packaging method that Amazon used (or didn't use) to ship them. I received two spindles of 100 that were just placed in a box and shipped. During transit, the spindle containers were demolished and all 2oo discs were jostled freely about inside the box. Many of the discs were scratched and rendered useless. All Amazon needed to do to prevent the mishap was to fill the voids in the shipping box with styrofoam peanuts or other packing material. I have read reviews from other customers who have had this same misfortune. I thought that maybe my experience would be different -- that maybe Amazon had fired the culprit(s) in their shipping department who neglected to use even the basic of packaging practices. I was wrong! They are still working there. From this experience I have learned that a penny saved is NOT necessarily a penny earned! These are the last DVD-R discs that I will buy from Amazon until they can prove that they really want my business.
