Hi Zorro,

Just had my first order through from AdultDVDEmpire following their recent sale.

They have only recently started shipping adult titles to the UK because I tried ordering from them over a year ago and was refused when I got to the checkout.

There are a few things you should be aware of if you are thinking of using them.
New international customers have to 'verify' their credit card details before the order is processed. This is via a fax of your c/c statement etc.
This could put some people off straight away.

Another thing is that they ship with a Customs Declaration on the front of the package showing the value of the disks and 'DVD' as a description. As if it's not hard enough getting porn into the country they have to advertise the contents. Couldn't they say 'optical media' or 'software'.

So even if UK Customs allow your porn through you could be lumped with paying Duty, VAT & PO handling charges. So becareful.

My order was only small and it passed through without Duty, but it had a UK Customs stamp from the boys at Mount Pleasant. They didn't opened though.

Disks are shipped sealed with case/cover in a nice cardboard box and took about 10 days to arrive from post date.

Zorro,

If your want to buy adult dvd with the cover and box,
my suggestion is buy from Laser's Edge (www.lasersedge.com),
they ship with very "discrete package", according to Matt,
he has already ordered 4 times, all pass the Malaysia's custom :) You know porn is illegal in Malaysia :))

If you want to buy without cover, try adultdvdnow.com or
dvdadvantage.com or [link removed: Site is gone] they could make special
package as plain as you want :)

Porn is Illegal everywhere. i guess most porn watchers are rebels at heart.

In the UK, it is now legal (since May 2000) for an individual to import Porn DVDs from overseas (provided they do not feature pissing, fisting, rape, etc...).

The only outlets that can legally sell them within the UK are licensed Sex Shops.

Which doesn't mean I'm not a rebel at heart

Hi Zorro, DVDXTREME is where its at, excellent prices, service, they send everything but the plastic box in heat sealed plastic. I have bought from them many times and have never paid duty/tax. You can order by phone and they are really relaxed in helping you. I cannot rate them high enough.
