"Ordered an Accelero S1 cooler, first time order from eWiz. Even after adding in CA tax, and ground shipping, it was still over 5 bucks cheaper than the next lowest price e-tailer (out of TX) for the same item....$13 cheaper than a closer "eggy" competitor that I'm used to. I was a bit hesitant at using an unknown (to me) retailer, but their RR rating it good, so I gave it a try.
Package arrived promptly, 2 days I think it was from eWiz -> So Cal using UPS ground...Got it before I got back from a trip to Vegas. Product was well packed, plenty of cushioning, and no apparent UPS box-kicking damage. Only real complaint is that UPS left the box at my door WITHOUT getting a signature - they used to be good about that, now do this everytime -- NOT the fault of eWiz however. Would order from them again."
"I ordered a couple of 288 disc binders from them via the green light special ($6, reg $10+) - overall I'm quite happy with the experience. Not all is perfect of course.
1) 1 of the 2 I ordered didn't come with a strap as advertised. Definately not a deal breaker though, as they're not really that heavy fully loaded anyway. They did come semi-sealed with a plastic band around them, so I'm not even sure that they had anything to do with it (may have been like that from the manufacturer).
2) One side of the zipper (the 'open' end) is loose on both - although I assume it's by design as I'm not sure the binders would open properly if they where secured to the spline.
3) The pages are secured with 3-ring binders or the sort..They seem to be sewn into the spline of the binder with some fairly thick yarn, with the backing of the pages looking like there's yarn/webbing running through them (more secure?). Of course some may be more confidence inspired with that - I'm just used to the standard school binder ring style. The pages themselves are not of the highest quality, but hey for $6 I can't complain!
4)The only real complaint I have is regarding the delivery (via FedEx)..I thought there was a standard signature request (like UPS) *unless* you put a signature waiver on file with them..Apparently not - the person knock-knock-ditched (no door bell!) at my door (luckily I was home/my door isn't visible from the street).
5) The shipping was kind of expensive ($7 for 2, calculated $6 for 1 - $19.91 total [CA tax inc] for such light items, but I guess the bulk also goes into it a bit (container was 19x13x9). You're best off not buying 1 small light item from them, if you can avoid it - helps cut down the per unit shipping cost..Still less than $20 total for something(s) that if I went to a WorstBuy to buy a comparable item (@ double inc the shipping charge), I can't really complain much."

"Ordered from them on the 9th (i think), recieved *today* (the 11th), was a 50 pack generic (Longten 001's 4x via DVD Info Pro) for $32/FREE shipping. Very happy with that (delivery time), even though I'm only about 30 miles away from them. Was expecting 1x discs, since site doesn't mention either way.
The packing leaves a bit to be desired - site showed a spindle pack (not delivered as such), but came stacked, and wrapped in some plastic to keep them together (in 2x packs of 25), then covered by bubble wrap, in which was packed in a rectangular box, filled with an acceptable, albeit not really generous, amount of foam peanuts. So far, haven't see any obvious scratches in the any of the media, although one did seem to have a small dye run, but I could be seeing things ;).
Burned 4 of them so far (3 from top of one pack, another from random place in same stack). (Burned using Pioneer DVR-106D) ALL 4 have come up w/ successful burns, @ 4x (verified w 15 min time for burning 4.36GB +/-). NO read errors AT ALL on any of the 4 (2x4.36GB, 2.39GB, and 3.93GB) in DVD Info Pro,and linear for the most part in Nero's DVD/CD Speed x-fer rate test...Only very MINOR speed 'dips' on the way, but nothing drastic, nor did it last long, nor occur much.
So all in all, so far Im very pleased w/ the media, and think I possibly got a "3rd batch" (or @ least good "2nd batch" discs of said Longten's which seem to have a much better media quality than previous ones. <-- batch stuff UNVERIFIED, only read of it browsing [one of the 2 larger CD/DVD media/backup related sites] ..
My only variable that I see (other than bad burns not a result of my error, or my comp/burner), would be the longevity of them.
....In the end I will be ordering from CDRDVDRMEDIA.COM again, perhaps even the same discs, if I continue to have a good experience with them :)...And urge people to give it a chance - a 3.00 rating or so doesn't bode well for them, but my order was great, save for the kinda questionable packing job, but seeing the media seems to be in good condition, I can let it slide. - Will report back later if something changes in rest of burns, etc."
