Sent an email to Koreandvds asking them to check my copy of Old Boy for damage before sending and if damaged, to include me in their request to Starmax for replacement. Their speedy reply:
So, I shouldn't worry about tit - but what about the DVD cases? How do you suppose they're gonna go about shipping it without damage? Wouldn't it have gotten damaged from being shipped to them?
Dear Customer
We know why the digipak is damaged, so we will send it not to be damaged. So don’t worry about tit. You will receive it without any damage.

So you will probably still have some marks on your digipacks, although they will be much lighter than what has been seen so far. I was surprised that they didn't switch around the foam as DrGerbil suggested, they just put a piece of bubble wrap inside the case. They did open the seal but I couldn't really tell they had done so.

So the bubble wrap wasn't part of the original packing? Mine came from DVDAsian and it also had some bubble wrap on the inside of the tin.

Looks like this puppy is gone now - out of stock at KoreanDVDs.com.
Still available at HKflix for $199, and this place, which I've never heard of, for $116: http://hanbooks.com/olliuledr4di.html

DVDfromKorea has it listed as in stock for $93.99.
I recently bought stuff from them, and it was smooth all the way.

Well, I got my Oldboy UE from KoreanDVDs in the mail today. Two of the things are damaged, but not really all that much. The two that are damaged are the Ult. Movie and the Ult. Supplement I cases.
Also, they shipped it to me in a nomal brown box. As I opened the top of the brown box, laying on top of the bubble wrap that was around the purple box, was a DVD in a plastic sleeve. The film is listed as Time To Die on the DVD itself, released by a company called Daum I do believe. When I put it in, it says it's called Expect To Die. What exactly is this and why did they put this in my package?
The reviews for this movie sound great!
I just hope this DVD isn't a message from the Grim Reaper!!!
For the record, the number of my Oldboy UE set is 0288.

Yeah, I'm the buyer. I don't usually buy off of ebay, and I'm bit nervous about the seller. I know I'm legit. I'll post again once I have it in my hands.

Did anyone get any feedback from YesAsia? A friend of mine who ordered it through them responded to their emails from phone numbers and tin number, but they did not get back to him.

Got my replacement digipak's today.
Starmax has also thrown in what looks to be a plastic coated cardboard liner for the copper case.
It's Black & grey with the fractured pattern on it (same as the gift box) with OLDBOY written down the front.
Edit: sorry for the poor quality, were taken with a mobile.

I emailed Yesasai yes, and sent Pics of my Toin and cases, so its up to them to do the right thing by me.
and that inside liner thing is a little late I guess, as all the damage is done now, but hey at least they know they messed up Big.
