waider | your monday whine (Reply)

My latest DVDRentals (sorry, ScreenClick.com) offering arrived today. It's cracked. Unwatchably so. That makes for three of the last seven discs unwatchable, which means this past month I payed €20 for four discs. Which in turn means it'd have been cheaper to walk to the rental store in Dalkey and rent the damn things, even if I would have had to badger the listless youth behind the counter into searching for my choice of movies. I am charitably assuming that ScreenClick do at least a cursory visual inspection of discs before sending them out, and that this damage is being done by the Post Office as they force the envelope through my letterbox. An Post, of course, would deny this and further state that hey, if it's valuable, insure it before you post it or something. Whoops, dropped your priceless china, hope it's well packed.
