Response from TrepStarJul 10, 2026
... More and more we've been seeing people like this that think we are some kind of "mix tape" company intended for one time use single quantity products. They don't read any warnings, or understand the documentation, or pay for testing service. Instead, they ignore all of that, and when the product is not magically like they imagined, we take the blame. We charge $10 and $7 of that is postage, yet this guy thinks we're scamming him. Our service is for publishers that are COMPANIES or ARTISTS that plan to sell many copies multiple times, not for your personal mix tape or mp4 file you copied from your phone. Our best publishers make product, and sell it many times. This is how we keep prices low. If you're one of those people, use TrepStar. If you're not, do not use our service. This just increases the cost to our quality publishers.

This company straight up STOLE FROM ME…
This company straight up STOLE FROM ME and I don’t care how they try to spin it because taking someone’s money and not delivering what they paid for is theft, plain and simple, and I have NEVER in my life dealt with a business this dishonest, lazy, and shameless. I ordered FOUR 2-DVD sets, paid in full, trusted their process, and what I got in return was absolute trash — ONLY ONE DVD HAD A VIDEO ON IT and the second disc in each set was completely blank, empty, worthless, and useless, meaning I paid for eight DVDs and only received four that actually worked, yet somehow they think that’s acceptable and not their problem. That is stealing. I did not receive what I paid for, and instead of fixing THEIR mistake, they had the nerve to tell me it was MY responsibility to make sure the DVDs were burned correctly, which is one of the most insulting, ridiculous excuses I’ve ever heard from any company. I’m the customer, not their employee, not their production team, not their quality control, and not the person operating their machines, and expecting a customer to magically know their DVDs would be shipped blank is beyond stupid. The project was APPROVED before anyone could even order it, so clearly someone signed off on this mess, but when I asked for a refund or replacement like any normal person would, they immediately went into blame mode and tried to gaslight me into thinking I was at fault for their failure. When I pointed out that most companies actually CHECK what they ship before sending it out, they openly admitted they don’t check anything at all and will ship DVDs whether the video is there or not, which is absolutely insane and proves they don’t care what you receive as long as your money clears. That alone tells you everything you need to know about how this company operates. Once they have your money, you don’t matter. Period. Since I refuse to be robbed quietly, I disputed the charges with my bank, because I’m not paying for blank discs, and instead of trying to resolve the issue like a legitimate business, they became rude, hostile, nasty, and disrespectful in their emails, acting like I was trying to scam THEM when in reality THEY were the ones who took my money and didn’t deliver the product. No refund. No replacement. No reshipment. No apology. Nothing. Just excuses, attitude, and blame-shifting. This company has no integrity, no accountability, and no problem stealing from hard-working people and hoping they won’t fight back. I don’t write bad reviews lightly, but this wasn’t a small mistake — this was money taken for a product that was never properly delivered, and that is theft no matter how they try to justify it. If you’re thinking about using this company, understand this clearly: if anything goes wrong, you are screwed. They will keep your money, send you broken or incomplete junk, and then treat you like garbage when you complain. I regret ever trusting this company, and I’m writing this so other people don’t get robbed the same way I did. Save yourself the anger, the stress, the wasted time, and the stolen money, and take your business literally anywhere else. I think you will have better customer service at the local bodega in the ghetto I tried geting a full refund from the company but they refused to Refund me for all my orders I had to dispute all of the charges with my banks due to there negligence please if you are Trying to burn dvd don’t used there website they are glad to take your money but when the product doesn’t come how you expect they have a problem giveing your money back ! They are a scam company and they don’t care about there customer only them self when I emailed customer service the guy who I spoke with was so nasty and rude and disrespectful hopefully my bank will see that they are in the wrong! If I can give negative stars I would

We sent this customer exactly what they designed and uploaded. Our prices are very low because the process is automated. We delivered the product flawlessly based on the files submitted to our system. It turned out that one of their source files was corrupt—an MP4 file that would not play (though it burned correctly, as would any partial or corrupted file).
We offer an optional testing service. We provide extensive documentation. We strongly recommend that customers order a single test copy before placing larger orders. This customer ignored all of these options, advice, and documentation—presumably to save time or money—and then placed the blame on us.
We explained that they could correct their file errors and place a new order with the revised files, since we manufactured and shipped exactly what they originally uploaded, without error on our part. When we accept new projects, the confirmation email includes these explanations: that files may contain errors requiring correction by the publisher, and that ordering a test copy is essential to verify the result.
We do everything possible to keep costs low for new publishers, but we require that customers follow our instructions and documentation—or simply pay for our project setup support if extra assistance is needed. Keep this in mind if you are considering TrepStar.

Non-existant response to emails and phone calls
I have been ordering 4-disk DVD sets since 07/2024. For the most part, I have been VERY pleased with the overall quality of the sets and the price. Both the case, the internal artwork and the disk labels are very attractive, professional looking and of excellent quality
Production and shipping time are excellent, as is their do-it-yourself system of customer handing of artwork and disk ISO files. I would give them a 5 Star except for ONE problem. A number of disks that I have received have had some type of sticky residue on the playing surface, making that part of the disk unplayable. I have been able to satisfactorily clean THAT with a soft cloth and rubbing alcohol. HOWEVER, other disks have had a permanent mar or surface damage, making that part of the disk permanently unplayable.
The sets mentioned above were ones that were sent to me, I examined them, and forwarded them to the customer. MUCH more unfortunate, however, are the sets that are shipped directly to the customer. I recently had a set sent to Denmark, where 2 of the 4 disks were unplayable. I had to refund their money.
NOW for my REAL complaint. ****** I have sent Trepstar two emails and a phone call (picked up by voice mail, of course) over the course of the last month, inquiring as to whether or not this problem is "business as usual". I have NOT had the courtesy of ANY response to either. Is THIS their idea of "customer service" ????
==================================
=================================
After unsuccessfully trying to reach the company today (12/3/25) at their alternate email of
[ a1tech.com ], I placed another phone call. This was promptly returned by Patrick Trepanier (who informed me that he was the founder of the company). We had a long conversation, during the course of which it was verified that emails coming from me were NOT being received by the company. He also offered to credit my account for the cost of the last defective shipment to Denmark. It was a pleasant, helpful and productive conversation - and Patrick himself was very apologetic, concerned, helpful and responsive concerning the issue which I had presented. Thank you VERY much Patrick !!

Hi,
Thank you for your detailed feedback and for your continued business since July.
We truly appreciate the many positive comments you shared about the quality of our cases, artwork, disc labels, production speed, and overall system.
We are sorry since this is the first we are hearing from you. Our system (or something) is blocking the email. We do respond to voicemail but often try to reply by text message first. That must have not worked either and this is obviously very frustrating.
We have not had any other complaints of sticky residue. My guess is that it might be some disc printing ink, or part of the packaging? We would have to see it to be sure. In normal cases, we ask for pictures or to have the product returned to us for a refund.
We're sorry we seem to have missed you and I would be frustrated too if no one responded. Please try sending an email to an alternate email [email protected]. We could offer you some kind of discount or credit on your account.

Trepstar is Top Notch for Dvds
Trepstar is Top Notch for Dvds! I love the fact that they are reasonable and competitive with others. They do a quick turnaround, ship to my customers and provide me with a tracking # which is awesome. I wish they would offer Blu-Ray, just putting that on the wishlist. :-)

We have been thinking of blu-ray. Our USB product can store HD mp4 files which can play in LED TVs (which all have USB ports)?
