Stupid question really, but does anyone know if you set up a new account with AdultDVDNow do they require a verification check for your credit card on the initial purchase?


I'm setting up an account for a friend, who has just gotten a new credit card and hasn't got his first statement yet, so can't get past this type of check yet (this lets out Laser's Edge, for instance) so I was wondering if anyone had gone through the process with ADN recently. I did check their FAQ and it does mention it as stating they "occassionally" check for verification, but do they do so on the initial purchase?


If so, can anyone recommend any other sites, as my friend would like to get a couple of dvds before/for Christmas? In the New Year, he'll have his CC statement and can deal with any of the retailers!!


Thanks!

Hello,

yes they do. I ordered a lot from them two days ago and they require for first time buyers a cc-verification.


cheers,

I ordered from them the first time like almost two months ago and I didn't have to give them my cc-verification.

Like Ramsey, I have recently placed my first order with AdultDVDnow, and did not have to go through any CC verification - I only ordered one DVD though.

I set up the new account, placed the first order with ADN (Friday night) and according to the site, it's reading as "Approved" at the moment. Not sure what exactly that means, and whether I'll still have to send verification before they ship the order, or whether they will just ship it as is. Ready to send them the verification, but got no request via e-mail yet. Took the free shipping option i.i. the slow post, so don't know if the order will arrive before Christmas, even if it's sent in the next day or two. Here's hoping, though....

You should be okay - the process, in my experience, is that the first email is for order confirmation, the second for approval (CC debit, I assume), and a third to confirm that the order has been shipped (usually within 24 hours of the approval, if in stock).

My orders, using the free shipping, took 10-11 working days.

Adultdvdnow has a very good customerservice and their shipments has a succaess rate of more than 98% !

Every month they send you a 15% discount coupon code and their shipments will pass customs wirh very good success!
Since they have free shipping now, their shipping method is very good and you will have to pay no customs fee!
Very recommended!

Still listed as "Approved". Strangely enough, I don't think I've gotten any e-mails from them concerning the order. It's possible that the junk mail filters I'm using with mailwasher Pro have deleted them, but I don't think so.


Not worried about the order, but it's not actually for me. I set up the account for a friend who doesn't have a PC and he was possibly hoping to get the order before Christmas. Doubtful now. I'm not really complaining but the items are listed as "In Stock" and nothing so far. I know it's only two days since I placed the order, but....


Adult DVD Now were the first place I ever used, more than three and a half years ago, but I personally haven't used them in a good while. Now with their free shipping option, I may have a look for a few titles again. Also, never had any problems with them either.

Today I received 6 DVD's from AdultDVDNow which were shipped 13 days ago (free shipping). The only problem was they sent me a wrong artwork. I just e-mailed them and I hope they will send me the right one!

My mistake, the artwork was the right one, I just looked on the wrong side of the artwork. Very fast reply btw.

Order was shipped on Monday (15th) and although using the free shipping method, it's possible it could arrive before Christmas. Thanks to ADN for getting it out. Slightly weird though, is that I didn't actually need the CC verification (this time) that I had prepared for. All that for nothing, but, heh!, I'm not complaining....


Good service from ADN and to anyone else reading this, I would highly recommend them. All there is to do now is wait and see how long the shipment takes to arrive.

FWIW, my latest order from ADNDV took only 9 days, including a weekend, using the free shipping - they seem to be getting quicker the nearer we get to Christmas !!

Going by that, struan it's possible the order could arrive on or before Christmas Eve.



Would be a nice present, ....
