Announcement to Customers: Replacement of Defective CDs

Posted: Thursday, January 21, 2010 by Sean Drummy

After several customer support requests, our investigation with Digital River revealed a new problem that developed in January with the physical CD duplication system in our UK warehouse.  This warehouse fulfills orders for customers everywhere outside North America.  We estimate that this problem resulted in over 100 orders being fulfilled with defective CDs.  We have tracked down when the problem started and the system is currently being repaired (or replaced, if it cannot be repaired).  In the meantime, our physical CD duplication system in the US is handling all orders so there should be no significant delay for ongoing business.  We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience to customers that have received defective CDs as a result of this problem.
