Hi all

Well I’ve finally done it, after spending weeks in the background reading virtually every message on the board; checking supplier lists & putting together my wish list.
I’ve come to the sad conclusion that living in the U.K means as far as adult imports go, nothing is guaranteed.

I’m now on my very first merry-go-round of fear & elation; will my package arrive unmolested? Or will the fine upstanding gentlemen & women of HM customs strike me up as another victory?

Will Five Star come through despite the odds, or have I just paid for a piece of paper daring me to come on down & collect them in person. “Please sir can I have my porn back?”

Dam the greater forces that decide where each person is born; then again if I lived in the states I’d probably be skint by now, sitting on my porch watching the debt collectors remove the worlds largest collection of adult films:-)


I’ll keep you all updated as to progress.

Cheers

Newton

Welcome to ADT this place really rocks, but beware its very addictive, like you I started out with one post not that long ago and now my depravity is almost complete.

please try not to fret too much you will be amazed how much customs and excise have relaxed their attitude to porn imports, as long as you stick to BBFC guidlines, no fisting/pissing/pooing/ strangulation/ or simulated rape scenes you should be fine, and It goes without saying no kiddie porn.

I recommend www.erodvd.nl and www.fivestardvd.com and www.lasrsedge.com I have had no problems with these except
fivestar do put the full value of the discs and I have incurred excise duty once because of this.

good luck and welcome to ADT and Importing.

Hi Newton, welcome to the merry go round indeed.

Nothing is guaranteed, it's true, but if you do order from FiveStar with the Fed Ex shipping, it's as near to guaranteed as you'll get. It's also guaranteed you'll get a bill for duty etc but then it could be worth it.
All the best - most times I find things work out one way or another!

I live in the UK and have been buying porn for 3 years online, and I've never had a problem with customs. I think it is not nearly as common a problem as it might appear. You only read about the bad experiences mostly, on this forum. You never hear about the 1000s of transactions that worked fine.

Hi all

Well what can I say, I placed my order, a few hours later an order confirmation email came through, the next day I received a shipping confirmation email, 4 working days later my order was in my local FedEx & the next day the package arrived. No hassle, no delays, no problems. All I can say is Thank You Five Star.

Happy

Newton

Newton, good to hear your 1st order arrived safely.

You do know that once you get on this merry-go-round there's no getting off.

Not to put a damper on things you may be getting a letter soon from FedEx for any Duty plus their handling charge depending on the value of your order.
