RE: Thanks a lot. Sorry about the mail order problems. I would have thought

I think it is a problem no matter where one is - during Summer, the courier vans get very hot and I have received parcels straight from the van into my hands that were very warm to the touch - sure enough the discs would be warped. It doesn't help that oftentimes the sender has stacked CDs on one side of a record in a mailer that is not thick enough.... ideally they would have been distributed more evenly (sigh).
Even if it is Winter on my side, the "heat" problem exists on the other side or in transit somewhere particularly in the last 2 years where mail from Europe takes the scenic route before eventually turning up months later!

People often complain about warped records as though they are pressing plant defects. However, I'm finding that the shrink wrap is overly tight on many records - the cover remains bowed even after the disc is removed and of course that is exactly how the discs come out - even with box sets.

For me, I don't stress about warped discs anymore. What I care more about (other than the music) is that the disc is centred properly and there are no seam splits, or other cover damage.
Why in this day and age do with computer controlled vision systems do we have to put up with off-centred discs!!!
