They make it clear on their website that they do not alter customs declarations, yet i had a good run with them for a while.
I asked for 'customs friendly' declarations a long time ago and they kindly obliged for a good time.
Latest order was for $120 and unfortunately it was written in full. Luckily it slipped through the net and i got away with the UK customs fee (not to mention the extra week's delay).
Not sure how many others got this great service, but Euro buyers should be aware that ADE looks to be more rigid with their shipping policy now.
I'm waiting on a $46 order from their sister site 'Bargainadultdvd'. As it's been 16 days i think i know whats happened :-(

HM Customs might have complained to them.
I've been in a fight with customs over free samples we get. Those are usually declared at $1 trade samples, but customs wanted to charge us for 2/3 of their estimated retail price. Luckily I managed to convince them that we only had to pay VAT on the shipping (still a bummer for unasked samples, but that is the law onfortunately and when somebody uses Fedex overnight it adds up) which was a lot less expensive.

Jacco are you referring to Dutch or UK customs?
Also, in Holland are you still liable to pay customs fees for goods from outside the EU? Is it at the same rate as the UK?

Sir W, the fight was with Dutch customs, but the rules are the same for shipments from outside the EU and the rates are probably the same or almost the same.

Well, i got the dvds from bargainadultdvd today with the full value declared ($46). Looks like i've been lucky again because no customs fee.
