CD/DVD media with cheap postage? (UK)

I need to get some more CD/DVD media and don't really want to be paying
£8 postage on £20 worth of media.

Any suggestions/recommendations for cheap postage or anywhere doing free
postage (i can hope!) at the moment?

cheers,
Paul

I ordered 75 DVD-R discs with cases from svp.co.uk last week and the
P&P was 4.49 GBP IIRC.

I paid £3.99+vat on my laster order from them, but it still saved me a lot
of money compared with buying from a retail store where the media costs
about double, and the choice is also very limited in a store.

Thanks, SVP seem to have gone downhill a little in terms of their range
- they seem to be concentrating on "cheap n cheerful" rather than
offering much in the way of reputable media.

Guess that might sound a bit snobby but Fuji/Maxell and the likes seem
to have a good reputation for quality, not sure I'd fancy my chances of
pulling data off a "datawrite" in several years time?

What do people think the "best" -R media is these days for longevity?

I agree, i picked what i wanted, was very surprised when I totalled it
up (pleasantly) and was even more pleased with speed of delivery etc.

I think that has soem truth, the problem is that I'll bet the cheap crap
outsells the decent stuff by some considerable margin.

The name on the disk doesn't have much to do with it really. They have
datawrites that use Fujifilm dyes as well as the highly regarded Ritek
G04 dye. Someone else has mentioned the T.Y. stuff too, I'm not sure
about DVDs but certainly for CD-R they were just about the most highly
respected brand.

Yeah, i noticed that fuji bit in one of the small prints. When someone
first mentioned TY to me I did a search and it came up with Japanese
Fuji being TY, but apparently they've started farming them in from
Taiwan or somewhere now.

The T.Ys do seem much more expensive for DVD media, whilst there was
little in it for their CDR media, plus of course I've only seen them in
hundreds.

Have to admit all these ADVDINFO codes do confuse me, does it mean that
if you buy datawrites with a fuji ADVDINFO code that you're basically
getting fuji manufactured media?
