(3) When we trade DVD's (DVD-R) please test discs before sending. We do this and expect the same in returnDo NOT write on the discs ! Use a Post-It note describing what's on the disc instead (name of the game, year, competition)
Do NOT use brandless DVDs or scratched discs !Put every disc (DVD-R) in separate envelope to protect them from scratches, dirt and impact. We do the same thing with your discs

(4) Quality is very important to us, so we would like to receive the DVDs matches recorded at "SP" (highest quality)

(5) If you are not completely happy with the tapes or DVD discs we send you, or the way we handled a trade, tell us directly via email as soon as possible. We'll try to meet any reasonable request to make the situation good.We don't control what happens to our package once we mail this.Each disc is tested prior to sending to make sure that it works on my computer system & DVD player. Please understand that, we are very interested in making sure that you get the best trade possibleHowever, we canNOT be held responsible for incompatibilities with your equipment and these discs

Jewel Boxes : We usually don't send jewel boxes. They make the package more expensive to mail and take up enormous amounts of space that could be used to ship more discs instead. We send DVDs in protective plastic or paper sleeves

(6) Please note that some private couriers such as UPS , FEDEX , PUROLATOR, do NOT deliver to P.O. Box addresses. It means you will have to make sure that the postal service you intend on using will effectively deliver to a PO Box address without any problem. We'll not, under any circumstances, accept a parcel for which we have to pay any feesIt is your own responsibility to enquire and make sure that the parcel will get to us with no extras to be paid for.We are not responsible for, nor do we re-ship the DVD's to traders who have not received our package, as a result of the trader providing incorrect or incomplete address or name information.

ARE YOU COPYING FROM ANOTHER DVD PLAYER OR USING A COMPUTER WITH A DVD BURNER ?
Don't record your DVD games from DVD player to DVD recorder, as you copy video tapes !!!
The back-up MUST be done in the digital domain and will look (and sound) much better than making a back-up copy by playing the original DVD on a DVD player and using a DVD recorder to make the back-up copy. A recorder is NOT a good way to reproduce a dvd.
Playing back the dvd converts compressed digital data to analog, the recorder then has to reconvert the analog data back to digital and re-encode the data back to an mpeg2 format which is a lossy process.
Your copy cannot be as good as the original for these and more subtle reasons.
A recorder is also a slow process. The dvd has to be played back realtime so if it is two hours long, it is going to take two hours to copy. There are better methods which allow an exact reproduction. In a blind test you would not be able to distinguish the copy from the original.
This is one of the advantages of the digital domain vs tape

WHAT IS THE QUALITY OF OUR SOCCER MATCHES ?
Keep in mind that the visual quality of a tape depends mostly on their age.
A soccer match taped in 1980 for instance, even at its best, will never match the visual quality of a game you taped yesterday.
We try to be as honest as we can when we judge the quality of our videos, however, these are based on our opinion only. We have been trading for many years now and saw many, many tapes We consider our ratings to be very appropriate.
We do not guarantee that the quality you will receive will equal ours , but we can guarantee that it will most of the time be very similar.
We tried to get the very best stuff we could find over the years, so we get pretty good results now.Obviously because tapes are passed from collector to collector, they are usually not "broadcast quality"

THE QUALITY RATINGS WORK AS FOLLOWS
( * * * * ) VERY GOOD picture
( * * * ) GOOD (these are games I have received on trade.
They could be a 1-st to 3-rd generation copy..)
( * * ) MEDIUM/AVERAGE (these are games I have also received on trade.
The tape is in marginal but viewable condition, but not for everyone...!)
( * ) POOR bad copy, for diehards only... ,not worth trading for, only if you need it.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE UNTILL I RECEIVE MY TAPES OR DVD'S ?
Trades are processed in the order received This is done to ensure fairness to everyone.
When we make a trade we probably will not send the discs out right away
We'll however send out your DVD's (DVD-R) usually within a few days, unless we discuss this further. Please be patient and remember that we do get other requests for trades , and that we are probably working on a trade we already had in progress when you send your materials .

Average DELIVERY TIMES EUROPE and REST OF THE WORLD :
Air-Mail 14-21 business days after shipping
CANADA : Air-Mail 3-5 business days after shipping
U.S.A : Air-Mail 10-14 business days after shipping

Customs rules and regulations vary all over the world. We ship to different countries, and we do not know all the regulations in each country.
Please be aware that we have no control over the activities of the Customs officials around the world. In a very few cases, there have been some significant delays caused by Customs.
We'll e-mail you when they are in the mail.

WILL THESE DVD'S PLAY ON MY DVD STANDALONE/PLAYSTATION PLAYER ?
The answer to this is 95% yes. The DVDs are recorded onto DVD-R.
This is compatible with 95% of DVD players but please ensure that your DVD player can handle this. Try DVDHelp to find out more. It will usually tell you if your DVD player can handle this format. There is a somewhat useful compatibility list at VideoHelp
Unfortunately, it is not always reliable: we suspect that players are often released in multiple versions which appear identical but are not under the hood.
However , please remember that we canNOT be held responsible for incompatibilities with your equipment and these discs.

WHAT REGION ARE THE DVD'S ?
They are region "0".
This means that they are effectively regionless and therefore will play on any player, again make sure your DVD player can handle this format

CAN I DOWNLOAD THE VIDEOS LISTED ON YOUR WEBPAGE ?
No, you can't !!! That is our personal list. To get that stuff you have to trade with us or to purchase the DVDs

CAN I COMPILE SOCCER DVD’s WITH SOME EXTRACTS OF MY CHOICE ?
No, we only offer you the soccer matches as listed below
We don't compile VHS or DVD's with extracts of your choice

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS AND THE ANSWER IS NOT HERE
...... well, feel free to contact us
