BELIEVE IT OR NOT!

I had a frind who is working for Ritek USA told me that this type of package on Ritek product is all "RMA" from officedepot! make sure to watch out what you are buying out there! Red package one with Ridata brande is only one good and so is those silver top or silver matt one!
AND IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE WHAT I AM SAYING, PLEASE GO CHECK WITH YOUR NEAREST OFFICEDEPO TO SEE IF WHAT I AM SAYING IS REAL!

Grr...I just got a spindle of these from Newegg and they're freezing late in the disc. Because of their policy I can only exchange for the same item. The rep said that if it happens with the replacement they can possibly work w/ me on exchanging for another item.
I sorta believe the story because the red wrapper costs more (now about $10 more per 50 pack) which certainly seems odd when they're the brand and speed.

many of you might not know, Ritek USA got over 2 million pcs of return from officedepo, which they fiqured that the only place they could dump them are through this on line stores. They would never say that it is RMA, but see the result of user Bix! watch out what you are buying, especially from these on line companies. Red package, silver top, or silver matt one will be only one you would want to buy. Nice package one, like this Ritdata one (it is for retail stores), but too bad they are RMA

And thus more confirmation that RITEK has degraded to PRINCO in quality on many of their discs.

This is bullsh*t, when I bought these it was a 1-day special and it only had the picture of the red ridata shrinkwrap, not the shit they sent me. I was assuming these were the same as the other two I purchased and never had a problem with.
Does anyone have experience with returns to newegg? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I got some from Newegg (same spindle pictured). They burn fine in my A-106, but they gave me a little trouble on high speed dub in my Panasonic DMR E100 DVD recorder (still worked though if I "titled" the disc before attempting the HS dub). However, my discs had Ritek retail labelling on the top which was mostly matte, and a little of the shiny silver (clearly says "Ritek", not blank, and has lines to write-on). I decided not to order more because they are a little thinner than the blank top ones. The ad in the link says they are blank though, so perhaps there is more to the confusion? Maybe some are the "retail" version and some are the "RMA-ed" type?

Guess I'll be getting the Prodisc ones from now one. While people may love or hate them, at least they seem to be more consistent.
Why is DVD media such a PITA? The only issues I ever had with CDRs is if the tops flaked off or not, and that was easy to figure out - FUJI, Memorex, etc, despite the brand had good tops. Imation didn't. Plain and simple.
Now it's like the package can be different, the discs are different, and even the manufacturer is the same.

check this out:
The Red Plastic Wrap packages are sold out. Now we are offering Ritek Ridata G04 4X DVD-R in 50 Pack Cake Boxes. The discs are exactly the same as those in red plastic wrap.With all due respect... and there is respect...
-
it must be a flat out lie especially because the few people that got these in this post say they have had some type of issues at the end of the disk or otherwise. Not to mention they are cheaper priced. Why would they be cheaper priced, doesn't make sense. I wonder if the same issue happened to me with the prodiscs I got as well as others through Rima. Something definitely happened because I got crap as well did some others while many people say prodiscs work great. This really is a pity. Can't tell what you are getting until you get it and burn it.

I am assuming the ones on Amazon are also RMAs?

If you are indeed correct 500AX, then this has to be the most scumbagging thing I have heard of in terms of media sales (short of fake media codes). In my mind, an opened RMA spindle is USED. Those 45 or however many discs should not be repackaged and sold as new. Refurbished maybe but definetly not the straight-off-the-factory-floor impression that they give for these discs.
This story makes me want to just spend $200 for three 50 pack Maxell spindles from NewEgg and forget about buying media for a while. This whole business seems very dirty. Who knows, maybe those Maxells are gonna start being repackaged too. Who can you trust if such a respected vendor as SuperMediaStore is involved.
After this, I think I am going to put Ritek on my list of media I will never buy. At least GigaStorage is honest about their CRAP.

question - I just got two spindles of Ritek, 4X-R, purple wrapper. they aren't blank on top, they have Ritek logos & arrow design.

it just SUCKS donkey shit that these media distributors keep changing what we buy. one week it is memorex RICHO, the next memorex CMC.....buyer should beware when they buy a used car---NOT GOD DAMN BLANK DVD-R's!!!!!!! now you can't just go ahead and buy blank ritek without wondering if it was RMA'd from office depot. what the hell is this world coming to?
-
well, this is called the trick from manfacture! They think we are all stupid who could get fooled around day after day. Just want to wake you all up "fans of Ritek" or "fans of prodisc". If I were you, I would stick with one company who been good in term of price, service, and most important hornest!
-
like I had posted on top there, if you really want to buy Ritek media, buy
Silver top or Silver matted DVD-R because they are harder to be recycled, and the one with printing is always used to print over those silver top or silver matted one from RMA, then resell these products through companies like your favor stores:
www.meritline.com
www.supermediastore.com
www.newegg.com
and more.....
why you think officedepo returned over 2 million pcs to ritek for, "BAD PRODUCT"

Can you maybe give some proof or something. No offense man, I believe you but I would like to be sure about something before I start bitching too much only to look foolish later.

look, why don't you buy some from your "favor store" and gamble your time and money to see if what I am saying here is real or I am BS. By the way, we do have some victims already like "Bix" review stated very clear what had happened to him! And also for your information, I am from this industry so information is always solided like gold here ok. Bro, bitch all the way you want, they will not give a shit about you because you are just an individual here, you should think about how to gather up the gangs and team up to be a powerful force to take some action over them "favor stores"

With crap like this going down it will be a LONG LONG time before I thrown down the cash for blank Ritek's again (if ever...). I may not be directly effected by this but what they are doing is insanely wrong. Looks like once I finish these 100 G04's I have now, my next order of discs will be Taiyo Yuden's
Remember people...saying "Im disgusted" will only take you so far. Stick it to Ritek, and Office Depot. My shitlist is evergrowing lately. Ritek, Office Depot, CompUSA, Best Buy...man where the hell am I gunna buy stuff? On the plus side, it looks like I'll be saving a lot of money
-
don't you all think it is funny here, your favor stores like
www.meritline.com www.supermediastore.com , and more were selling fake TDK and refused to do refund or exchange, and now they are selling "recycle Ritek" or "recycle prodisc" hmmmm who is the one has not screwed us YET? ........... By the way, www.newegg.com supposely is good reputation company, but why are they doing the way these "companies" do now? are they trustable again!
-
newegg IS selling them, but as a different Part #. When I see 50 for $30, and then 50 for closer to $40...well, you get what you pay for. I don't think newegg has made a claim that the cheaper inferior discs are actually the same thing as the higher quality and more expensive G04's.
