That is pretty dirt cheap for silverbacks.

Thanks Dr. Nick!

/edit: Just saw the shipping costs. 5.95 regardless of order size. Pity if you only wanted 25 disks

Agent Smith · 22-01-2005 8:43pm

Yeah, but still the cheapest I'd say, even with that charge.

postage and packing is 5.95 for a splindle of 25 dvd's, seems quite steep to me
althought even with that included you still get 25 8x discs for just under 20 quid, this site was reccomended to me on boards a few months ago to

rubadub · 23-01-2005 3:56pm

www.svp.co.uk cheap but shipping is €15.50 so only useful if getting a good few

5.95 isn't steep for shipping really as a spindle requires some packing and the weight brings up the price. Be realistic....

kinkstr · 23-01-2005 4:24pm

fair point alle, i added 25 cd-r's and 25 dvd+r's and it the p and p was still the same price(25 cd-r's came to 4 euro btw, fantastic price)

I bet www.svp.co.uk would have been cheaper.

tigerwex · 24-01-2005 10:06am

svp just charged me over 15 euro for shipping thats a ripoff thats for 50 disk and 50 cases the disks are very cheap but you get killed by the shipping costs i think ill stick to mediawrite depends on how long it takes to get this order anyone know how long it takes them to ship an order bet i wont have it till next week

43.46 euro from mediawrite

45.32 euro from svp

for the same order

so mediawrite wins hands down for me cos you will get your order quicker than if its comming from uk and it works out cheaper

rubadub · 24-01-2005 11:04am

What are the discs you are looking at? That seems very expensive for SVP dvds. are you comparing exactly like for like?
SVP use a 2 day courier service which is why it is expensive

bk · 24-01-2005 2:10pm

On the other hand, svp is excellent if you are buying bulk. I just got 500 DVD's (for work), and a 600+ disc metal carry case, plus a few other cases. The box was hugh and it weighed over 13kg. Yet the delivery charge was still only €15 and it arrived promptly in just two days.

The whole thing worked out far cheaper then mediawrite. I suppose if you could organise to purchase with friends, etc. in bulk, then it would work out much better value.

tigerwex · 24-01-2005 2:22pm

same disks same cases same amount the disks are cheaper on svp but the shipping is a lot more so you dont save anything

WellyJ · 24-01-2005 4:12pm

Anyone actually ordered from Mediawrite? I ordered on Saturday and am in Dublin. Wondering how long their deliveries usually take?

Only if you are ordering a small amount, 75-100 disks or above svp are cheaper. For a large bulk order the much lower product prices add up to a big saving.

Your mediawrite prices don't include the shipping charge.

tigerwex · 26-01-2005 2:13am

my order cost me 3 euro more on svp to for the order to be any cheaper you would have to order 150+ disks and then u would only save a few euros not really worth changing from an irish supplier to an english one is it ?

Previous post shows a saving of about €5 for 100 disks. They are the same delivery time, yet I presume SVP are paying more for the courier than mediawrite, this means to me that mediawrite are not competitive. I won't say they are ripping anybody off because they are cheap, but I won't pay over the odds for goods simply because it is an irish company.

garred · 26-01-2005 10:03am

I agree with rubadub why should I pay more to an Irish company...and I think it was touched on earlier why not club together for the shipping from the likes of bigpockets, svp. I know I would'nt mind going halfs or less with somenone on an order to cut down on the shipping.

WellyJ · 26-01-2005 10:38am

Still havent received any shipping details from mediawrite having ordered on Sunday. This is a bit of a let down

Im guessing it could have something to do with the shambles going on with the postal strike at the moment? I hear its specifically targetting SDS services and im under the impression that this is the system that mediawrite uses to send packages?

monster_fighter · 26-01-2005 12:24pm

Mediawrite has a slightly better selection of Higher Quality media than does SVP.

This isn't a problem for most but my LG (4610b) is very fussy (but I does unbeatable quality burns once fed the right stuff).

bk · 26-01-2005 4:34pm

SVP scales much better the more discs you buy.

The following are the prices for the same discs (Datawrite Titanium Grey (8x) DVD-R) including postage and VAT in Euro for quantities over 100:

svp
125 - 58.13
150 - 66.02
175 - 73.92
200 - 81.83
300 - 113.43
600 - 208.24

Mediawrite
125 - 67.69
150 - 80.37
175 - 92.77
200 - 102.75
300 - 147.52
600 - 281.83

Therefore, if you are buying 50 discs or less, then mediawrite is cheaper, for anything over 50 discs svp works out much cheaper and it scales much better.

Plus I should point out that over the many times I've ordered from svp, nothing has ever been out of stock and delivery never took more then 2 days, quality.
