Customer Review: Packaging Better Than In the Product Imaging Shown
Summary: 5 Stars
What a pleasant surprise! The image on the product page is the way I've gotten these jewel cases either in this or the 25-count size in the past--thin cardboard around both ends and 2 of the other four sides, with shrink wrap finshing it off. I always had to allow for about 5% breakage in transit when I mail-ordered them here. So I open this package and I see that these have been packed in a great 1/8"-thick corrugated tray, with shrink wrap around that. From appearances, this does several times as good a job of protecting the cases as the other packaging did. Not to mention being a better storage container. I don't know if they also come to regular retail stores this way, but I had been ready in advance to write 2 or 3 of these off--now they'll all be usable. Maybe Amazon should revise the product page imagery.Customer Review: Don't buy jewel cases mail-order. Ever.
Summary: 3 Stars
The product itself I can't fault: these are your standard slim jewel cases. But sheesh, do a lot of them arrive broken. Truth is, I've never ordered cases from any supplier (Amazon, newegg, outpost, or wherever) that didn't arrive with at least 10% of the cases cracked or broken. They just don't ship well. If they seem like a good bargain, remember that you'll lose a good percentage of them. And even if the retailer will take them back, it's never worth the bother of returning them.
Add to that the shipping charge, and it starts to look like it makes more sense to buy these at your local office supply store where you can inspect them for breakage before you buy. That has been my experience, anyway.
Customer Review: Cheap for a reason
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought these cases, and when I received them, 6 of them were broken. I dont buy blank cases too often, but I have bought delicate things before, and this is the first and only item I have received from Amazon that did. In all, Im not disappointed, I looked at other reviews and a few of them said the same thing and I thought it wouldnt happen to me. As for the ease of opening, I have not had that problem. They open easily and close securely for me.Customer Review: Good price, arrived damaged
Summary: 3 Stars
A very good price for this product, however Amazon does not package them very well for shipping, as noted in other reviews. Minimal packing material resulted in 4 of them arriving damaged. It wasn't bad enough to merit the hassle of returning them. I contacted Amazon and they refunded 10% off the purchase price. This was a reasonable outcome. But better packaging would avoid this whole problem for Amazon's customers.Customer Review: Good Cases
Summary: 4 Stars
These are good jewel cases.
I have used a lot of them from this 50 pack to store DVDs in that I have burned movies on via my DVD set top recorder and they have served the purpose very well.
The only complaint about this item is that one of the jewel cases on one end was cracked when I opened the package.
Other than that I was satisfied overall with the jewel cases.
