Broken DVDs

Twice in the last week, we have gotten broken DVDs from Netflix. (And another looked like it was starting to crack from the middle just a little, but played okay.)

The first clearly looked like it was smashed up by the postal service. The disk took 8 days to get here (40 miles), and the cover was shredded nearly to pieces. The disk was all cracked up. Today, we got one that was broken in half, although there was no way to tell from the outside.

I wonder if it is something about this time of year. Does the Post Office have their machinery running at a faster speed than normal to get through all the mail from this time of year? Are they less careful with the disks? Hard to say, it could just be some sort of freak thing that we got 2 broken ones...
