Having a rather large collection of DVD's, games, Blu-rays etc. I decided to invest in a disc repair machine. I have to say that it's performance has been remarkable, even cleaning up the xbox 360 'laser burn'.
To share in my good fortune I have decided to offer this service to all amibayers
If you have a lightly to badly scratched disc that skips and won't play properly, this will likely solve the problem. If the foil layer of the disc is damaged this won't help. If you want to send me a picture beforehand that is also fine and I will see, based on what I have done to my discs, if it is likely to work.
Cost will be £2 for the first disc and £1.50 for each subsequent disc.
However, for the first 5 confirmed orders, I will do the repair for £1.50 for the first and £1 for each additional disc, irrespective of the number of discs! So 10 discs you pay £10.50 + p&p or 54 discs you'd pay £54.50 + p&p.
Return postage will be charged as a large letter either first or second class, or I am happy for you to include the relevant stamps/postage. I will return your discs in the packaging they are sent in, unless you would like them returned in a card mailer, then I would ask for an additional 30p as I would have to buy the mailer for you. If you would like recorded delivery that will be charged additionally, or you can provide the stamps for the correct amount.
I am able to test most discs prior to returning, but please ask if I can test yours before sending.
If you have a lot of discs needing repair, please let me know as I can only do a few at a time as this will be done in the evenings!
Turnaround times for upto 10 discs - 3 days. Upto 100 discs - 15 days. Ask for timescales for more.
To make things easier and more transparent I'll list some prices of things you may wish to have, such as packaging for the return journey:
CD mailer - £0.30 each (takes a single disc comfortably, two at a push!).
Extra strong cd mailer - £ not available (takes approx 4 discs in sleeves).
Plastic CD Sleeve - £0.08 each
Paper CD sleeve - £ not available
Return postage, using own packaging (single disc, standard letter) £0.50 second class post if under 100 grams.
Return postage, using own packaging (single disc, standard letter) £0.60 First Class post if under 100 grams.
Return packaging, in card mailer, first class £0.60 + cost of mailer. (single disc only)
Return postage, in card mailer, second class £0.50 + cost of mailer. (single disc only)
Recorded delivery for Royal Mail £0.90 in addition to postage price.
Of course, you can send with your disc the return postage, and I will re-use your packaging, or if specified will use a cd mailer or sleeve etc.
If I think of anything else, I'll add it!
Also, if you choose to have a disc repair attempted I'm afraid I can't accept any responsibility if it doesn't work following the attempt. It may be that extra damage was done, such as denting to the plastic, damage to the foil layer or cracks, none of which can be fixed. In all cases, where a repair is attempted a fee is payable. Generally, most scratched discs, even if scartched quite deeply can be repaired. If discs have been repaired before, please let me know, especially blu-rays as these have a much thinner polycarbonate layer than DVDs.
