Unfortunately I hadn't checked this forum in awhile and recently placed an order with DVD Exotic. I had always had a positive experience with them, but it has been many months since I last placed an order.

In my previous orders, DVDExotic shipped my orders within 1-2 days and always used UPS 3 Day Select. However, I noticed upon completion of my recent order, they state that they use USPS. Also, there is no specification whether it's standard, priority, or media mail.

After seeing a less than specific help section on their website, I checked in this forum to only learn that they are no longer a partner with adultdvdtalk.

Can anyone let me know whether they've had a recent experience with DVDExotic and if it was postive? Outside of having problems with the kickbacks, were there any other issues with DVDExotic? I'm concerned with the lack of info on their website, along with the possibility of no longer being able to track shipments.

Thanks!

I've continued to deal with DVD Exotic because they have some of the best deals on gay porn (including up to $50 and/or 33% off on $150 purchases). Even without the kickback discount, this is often a far better deal than offered by any other site I've found online.

Thus far, Ive gotten those things I ordered in a timely matter as long as they were in stock (the most recent orders were shipped USPS Priority Mail). Out of stock items are moved to a new invoice with no additional shipping charges and arrive when they arrive. At least I can cancel backorders (for a full refund) if I so choose.

Thanks much, GaySatyr! You've put my fear to rest, at least until I receive my order. My biggest concern was the complete lack of info/choice on the shipping. But since you've indicated that USPS Priority is used, I feel better.

Since shipping is relatively expensive ($4.75 + $1.75/item), I was concerned that it was too much if they dropped the shipping to standard or media mail. Too bad they raised the shipping costs and stopped using UPS 3 Day Select - I liked the safety of having to sign for the packages.

Nevertheless, it's a pretty easy site to use. And their selection is not too shabby. Combine these with their frequent coupons and I'll at least consider them whenever I place an order.

I just purchased 7 DVDs from DVDExotic, and the shipping cost was $17.00! That's more than double what it ought to cost to send those
via USPS Priority mail, or Media Mail. It's more than 10% of the entire value of the order!

There are numerous other sellers who offer FREE or greatly reduced shipping:

To compare - for any 7 DVDs shipping cost:

XRentDVD $2.99
AdultVideoUniverse $4.99
Lasers Edge FREE
Action-DVD.Com $4.80
Adult-DVD69 $5.30
Gamelink.com $5.95
AdultDVDEmpire FREE
Cheopo DVD $4.60
Playtime Cinema FREE
FiveStarDVD $4.95

When I sent them mail complaining of the high shipping
cost they answered with a non-answer: Do the other places give a 30% discount?

Their prices were typically higher than many other places anyway.
I for one will think seriously before paying their high shipping costs again.

Regards,
Hedonist

That's a crying shame. There are few places that do give
more than 30% discount and FREE shipping. I really hated
when vendor "compensate" their cost by charging "silly"
shipping charges. BTW, if you order more than 4, you'll
get FREE shipping at FiveStarDVD.
