You'd think they'd know better

kengrThis month I ordered my second ever 100 gb M-disc.
The first one had been sent in this ridiculously over-sized (more than a foot square padded envelope.
Which I thought at the time was stupid, both for the size, and for the fact that the jewel cases for optical media tend to crack if you look at them sideways.
This month it was a smaller padded envelope. And the case cover was badly cracked. The disc looked ok.
When I tried to burn it it got an error after only a few minutes. This time I looked on the writing surface. Glaring white crack in the writing surface, that went across most of the writing surface.
I'm returning it (thankfully for free) for being "broken or defective".
You'd think they'd know better than to ship them this way. At $25 a pop, even with their markup this has to be a significant hit.
