Company Policy

 - COVID-19 Shipping Updates

Please note that due to the strict border control measures implemented by various countries to curb the spread of COVID-19, Korea Post has temporarily suspended shipment orders for certain countries. As a consequence, we are unable to guarantee delivery dates, and shipping guarantees have also been suspended. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and kindly ask for your patience and understanding during these challenging times.

- Our Response To "Faulty Discs"

We understand that some customers may experience issues with playback when using certain hardware setups, such as a Blu-ray player, AV Receiver, or cable. However, we want to assure you that all of our Blu-ray discs undergo careful technical examination before being released.

If you're experiencing playback issues, we recommend trying a different player or PC to test the disc. This can help determine whether the issue is with the disc or your hardware setup. If you continue to experience issues, please reach out to us at cs@plainarchive.com and we'll do our best to assist you.
