The Blu-ray Replacement Case Thread

[rexcrk]

Sorry to hear about everyone’s bad experiences recently.

I’m surprised mine went so well! I literally only waited a week before I sent an email asking if there was a delay and then they responded shortly and I got the tracking number and everything.

I should’ve ordered some more 3-disc 4K cases. I have a bunch of those new Pixar releases on order and most of them are 3-disc sets. I’m betting they’ll be stacked discs ugh so I’ll have to order some more flippers.

I don't know about Cars 1 and 2 or Ratatouille, since I don't like them and thus didn't buy them, but all the others except The Good Dinosaur are stacked discs. TGD is only 2 discs... so I'd assume any Disney release with 3 or more discs is going to be stacked.

I even emailed WDS about stacking their discs because they get scratched. I know nothing will come of it really, it didn't help with Sony, but at least now I know that they know lol

I bought 3-disc flipper case locally for approx US$2 each from a local vendor for Pixar movies. I bought 10 pcs and it took 3 weeks for him to get them (I picked them up from his house directly).

Alas he won’t get the 6-disc version as the demand is too low and his MOQ is 9,000 pcs!

Because there aren't many options for a lot of the cases.

Anyone know where I can get a black, 2-disc amaray case (the fat ones used for UK releases)? Must be Blu-ray, not 4K.

I placed an order with Casetopia almost a month ago. It hasn’t shipped and they are not responding to emails. It has been a while since I ordered from them or checked this forum.

Finally got a response and shipping notice...I did go into PayPal and dispute the payment to try and get things rolling.

Guys, just don’t buy anything from them. You’re feeding the scammers! Or if you want to buy from them, don’t complain.

None of us will die from not having a particular case. If less and less people are buying from them they’ll either close down or clean up their act.

I didn’t know they changed like this until after I ordered.

This thread have been virtually nothing but complaints about Casetopia for almost a year now.

But really, who is going to come reading this thread unless they're in the market and need help? Until Casetopia problems started, this thread didn't get as much action and now it's just mostly people complaining about them lol

I guess I was lucky with my more recent order a few months ago, only took a couple days (plus it was on a weekend, and I think maybe a holiday?) for it to ship, but I also placed an order on ebay and website to get all the ones I needed. Maybe their ebay side is given more attention?

[sapiendut]

with eBay, if you’ve paid a seller, even the slightest such as asking the seller “where’s my order” through eBay purchase history, the money is automatically pulled out of the seller’s account until you’re satisfied with the answer. They don’t want to have that happen. So yeah, attack ehere it hurts most, their pocket.

I had a similar issue with Import CDs last year. I had ordered something from them that turned out to be out of stock and I emailed them several times to get a refund (I had paid with PayPal) and got no response.

I finally opened up a case with PayPal and THAT’S when I got my money back lol.

Forgive me if this has been answered before but is there a good competitor for Casetopia?

Like folks above, made an order last month. Nothing shipped. No replies to emails. Only my second order with them and the same thing happened last time. Tad odd.

Not really. Only other company that carries some of what they carry is a Canadian outfit called Goodwood eShop (megadiscstore). They have their own site, but can be found on eBay too, just like Casetopia.

I've used Megadiscstore on eBay for the last 2 years - I like that free shipping is included in their price (since they're in Canada).
Their shipping is same day/next day and they ship fast, I highly recommend them.
I use them for 4k Elites to replace any "eco" cases I get. I also like their clear Elites for any blus that have reverse art (I hate seeing that art covered by a regular blu ray case).

I have used Casetopia in the last year through eBay, and I do think they ship faster through eBay because they don't want the bad buyer feedback, just a guess.

Sometimes I wish I could just order on case on a basis as needed.

[rexcrk]

All these problems could be solved if studios would just stop stacking discs

[mediocre]

Sorry if this has come up but did Arrow stop selling cases? Links on the OP are dead and I'm not finding them through their search either. If so, what's the best alternative? Looking for single and 2 disc cases.

It does appear that they removed them from their site. I updated the OP and I'm not aware of a replacement NA source. You might want to reach out to them to see if this is only temporary or if it's a permanent change.
