Please note that when comparing a DVD Replication quote, there are a number of differences to other company quotes.

Other companies may outsource the DVD replication to China, where quality standards are lower (i.e. rejection settings are lower meaning that defective DVDs can get through to your final order). Also, copyright is a major problem. Whilst in most modern countries, copyright is respected and breaches are able to be rectified, China has no such respect and your DVDs may show up being sold independently of you. The other issue is that many Chinese companies do not pay royalties. This means that you may be required to pay those royalties later if found to have used the non complying factory. Quite often, imports are delayed at customs, meaning that you may miss important deadlines.

Other companies can make up to 10% less than the quantity you order (meaning that you do not have sufficient DVDs) or make up to 10% more (and then charge you extra, putting you over your budget).

Other companies do not always include all the costs in the quotation. Some companies charge additional monies for GST, Glass Mastering, Printing, Assembly. These can quickly add up.
