Musicians Cooler: Where Musicians Trade Advice CD Production on the Cheap

Kinaki,vs  LuLu, vs  Vervante Reviewed

Sean G of http://www.learntodjfast.com/ had a great post about the differences between Kinaki, LuLu, and Vervante. In his example he was shpping for a full color DVD printing, DVD case, full color 1 panel insert, full cover case, cellophane wrapping, upc barcode (for Amazon), 24 hour turnaround from order to manufacturing.

And the results are...

------------------------------

Vervante:

$6.56 USD not including shipping.

Lulu:

$5.50 not including shipping

Kunaki:

$1.75 USD not including shipping.

--------------------------------------

Shipping is $4 USD per DVD to anywhere in the world.
So for the same price as printing a disc @ Lulu & less than Vervante, I can print and ship my DVD.

I was leaning towards Vervante because of its great customer service, but with this large of a price gap, kunaki is the answer for me until I do enough volume to warrant going with Disk.com.

With regards to their poor customer service, Kunkaki isn't trying to hide it:

"Kunaki is not for everyone.

Kunaki operates more like a machine than a business and does not offer a personalized service. We don't engage in active marketing, sales, or public relations. We never offer discounts or special deals. We don't offer affiliate or partner programs. The Kunaki machine is operated and managed by software rather than a management team.

Our service is designed for 21st-century, intelligent, independent publishers who prefer to deal with a cold, efficient, and reliable machine that is available 24 hours per day, 7 days per week.

Because Kunaki is highly automated and focused on quality, low price, and fast production, we offer a minimal range of options."

Even though this might cause headaches in the future I understand where they are coming from.
