It might help, if you could give us an example.

What is the UPC that you have, as opposed to the one you are replacing?

Is the one you are replacing actually a valid UPC for a different version/copy of the movie/show you are entering?  If so, you need to contribute a new profile to the DB. 

But, without further info, it is kind of hard to answer your question.

I am curious why my UPC's that are printed on the sleeve from the manufacture do not match the ones in the list and when I try to correct it and contribute the new UPC it is declined?

Changing the UPC and contributing creates a new profile. So you have to give the complete sources. The screeners don't see that you correct/change an existing profile in such cases.

But why it was declined?? ... Also no idea without further infos. (Se other posts)

You can't really correct a UPC, only submit a new profile with a different UPC. If you were sumbitting with the cover scan that had the other UPC, it would be declined.

What he said. I had to create at least a dozen new profiles when I was picking up ex-rents from Hollywood's store closing sales a couple years back. Literally every disc I bought from there wasn't in the db for that UPC, although the disc ID's matched retail profile so I just would grab those, change the UPC and submit a scan of at least the new back cover/UPC to prove it exists. Not posiive if scans are manitory for new UPC's, I'm sure they help.

This.

Rentals are notorious for not being in the system, although they are (in many cases) the same DVD that is in the system.

I have three I have to scan up the back covers for and submit here pretty soon.

I can't tell you how many times the Target I work at has received shipments of DVDs with the Walmart sticker under the shrinkwrap!  The first few times I saw it, I assumed it was guest service being careless with returns, but then I saw them in the boxes that came from the delivery trucks.

That is because they both use the same security system

Not sure if this is actually what you meant by security system, but it's actually due to the way the DVDs are distributed. At this point many stores receive their DVDs from the exact same distributer. They don't receive them from a warehouse directly related to that specific retailer or a specific film distributer. There is a big company that handles most if not all of the distributions of media to big retailers.

I used to work at Circuit City (RIP) and we used to have all our DVD and media shipped to our warehouse, then it was shipped to us. We never saw these mislabels. Then it was decided we'd go through this company to handle all of our distribution needs (forget the name) and sure enough, we'd receive DVDs that had Walmart and Target stickers on them quite often.

Not really on topic, but I thought I'd clarify. 

Ah, my mistake. And yeah, we used Checkpoint. I just noticed that ever since we changed to the middle man shipper (Ingram might have been it, sounds really familiar) we started getting mislabeled DVDs. Lots of Walmart and Kmart stickers.
