    Has anyone had dealings with Sorensen Boat designs ?

    I bought a set of plans for a hydro Plane which included pattens for the frames and a DVD instruction

    The DVD I recieved is Blank and now Sorensen will not answer emails for
    a replacement DVD

    NOT impressed

    Have you tried different dvd players. A Memorex player we had works fine with netflix dvds. Other new DVDs it says Load Disc and it wouldn't play dvds burned on a computer. I got a new sony player and it reads all the discs fine.

    Welcome to the forum. Sorry about your luck on the disk.

    It wouldn't be the first time a CD or DVD went out the door blank, for any origination. I've done it, and also have bought them, so keep trying, but instead of emails, try a phone call. Person to person contact is much more effective and productive.

    If you bought it on a credit card, call the credit card company and tell them what's up. The amount will be deducted from your account and Sorensen Boat design will have to pay up.

    Phoning the US from Australia is costly and tricky to time properly. Its amazing how many US companies expect phone calls from other countries - I have had a few "Phone now for this special deal ...", totally ignoring the fact I wasn't from the US

    A company that doesn't answer emails is very naughty.

    Like Par suggests, I would cancel via the credit card route if you don't hear with three days.

    Are you sure the DVD is blank and not just a Region 1 DVD put in a Region 4 DVD player?

    See if you can Skype them. There are also other ways to make low cost phone calls from over seas.
