It's showing $10.82 for the shipment. Are you saying it's showing $10.82/per case?

That's what it says. per unit.

I see what you're saying, but if you proceed forward it's only $10.82 for the shipment. I just tried it myself and the total was $30.77 (19.95 +10.82).

Oh, okay. It's just badly worded then.
Thanks.
I wonder, I'll have to check to see if they have a free shipping threshold.
I'll order a little more to spend nearly what shipping costs to get another case or few.

Check eBay and Amazon too, as sometimes their equivalent listings can be cheaper sometimes on those venues.

Direct email contact. I got the best rates that way. Prices change monthly, so you will need to contact them yourself. Takes a long time to get a reply back. Full cases of each case type are the way to go because this will give you the lowest per unit pricing, when shipping is added to your total acquisition cost. For my money, the 2-disc options give more flexibility at a marginal increase in total cost. Same is true for 4K cases. Massive disc locker sizes, not so much. Buy them only as needed.

The only way to actually get Viva Elite any cheaper is to buy direct from Viva, which they will do. I was given a quote. Don't even ask me. I will tell you that I could open a video rental business for far less money than the quote from Viva, and that was just for one case style. It's like a two pallet min order per case type. Like 5000-10000 units.
MegaDiscStore/Goodwoodeshop has great prices for sure.

BTW,
I do know that Viva ships cases with many kinds of defects. Many of the recent purchases that we all read about daily in complaints from members on the threads, can be directly connected to Viva output quality. They simply do not QC 99.9% of their output. Viva also doesn't offer any discounts on re-buys due to typical case defects. Less than 5%, but still a high amount if you are the one absorbing the cost. It's entirely up to the distributor to QC each case individually, or more often than not, it's the consumer that gets stuck with the random bad cases.

Just curious but what was MegaDiscStore's full case count? And did you contact them through their web site or eBay?

Just curious? About what specific item? MDS full case count = Viva Elite full case count, ie, as received from the factory located just 25 miles from them. I'm fine asking questions in PM, but please don't bother if you aren't actually interested in investing sizeable time, money, and space when buying in bulk.

Anyone know where I can get a 10-disc 4K case?

Find a Jack Ryan UHD collection on the cheap.
Or a 8 Disc Harry Potter collection (some of which have a spot for another page which makes it 10) some of these lack outer hubs which will make you have to get sticky hubs.

Blu or 4k?
Either way, I think I have a couple of each.

Hey, all. Does anyone know where I can get single-unit, 6-disc Blu-Ray cases for cheap? I'm not a curmudgeon like Ebenezer Scrooge, but $5 per case just seems unreasonable to me (not to mention the shipping on top of that). Thanks in advance, for any help you can provide.

There aren't many options, but MegaDiscStore (or also know as goodwoodeshop) carries them. Of course, you receive better pricing with the more you purchase. You can also check eBay or Amazon as some of the sellers also sell on those platforms.

http://goodwoodeshop.com/index.php?m...roducts_id=286

Duplication.ca has them for $3.99 CAD, but international shipping kills the deal unless you order when they have a free shipping offer. However, the threshold is usually at least $100 CAD minimum to qualify for free shipping.

Thanks, but I did some research after my previous post, and found a website called GenesysDTP. They mostly carry CD and DVD cases, but I did find 22mm 6-discers listed, with a 15-pack option for a decent price. The shipping wasn't horrible either, averaging my total out to about $2.70 per case.

Anybody know where to get a 12/12.5 mm 4 disc BD case? I know you probably can't buy them, but if anybody knows of a movie with 4 discs or a 3 disc case with the tray on each side with a one disc flipper, I can swap it out for a double sided flipper.

Got Friday Night Lights, and season 1 is 4 discs and season 2 is 3... but I have some 3 disc cases I can swap out. Just need a 4 disc.
