I've heard of people having their porn vids and dvds seized, but I don't know of anyone personally.
A friend of mine in the UK has ordered over 100 dvds from the States and never once has a movie been lost or seized.
But the UK residents must remember; purchasing hard core porn from the USA is LEGAL.
My advice if your video or dvd is seized is to complain and demand it back, AS LONG AS THAT ITEM IS NOT CLASSED AS OBSCENE BY THE BRITISH BOARD OF FILM CLASSIFICATION.
UK Customs sometimes get it wrong and they will return it if they have overstepped the mark.
For further advice, go to the BBFC website at: www.bbfc.co.uk for further details to make sure you're well within the law.
Regards, Rump.

I had 4 DVD's taken from EroDVD they were not obscene, i have had parcels opened before from customs but have been passed on.

Im affraid you cant just write to customs and ask for them back you have to go to court and the Judge decides if you can have them back !, frankly its not worth it for a few films and the expense if you loose.

EroDVD replace goods if they are confiscated so my order was relaced and got through in the 2nd attempt :)

Thanks for that, Deanos.
Perhaps, then, it's best ordering from the States, as it seems UK Customs are on the look-out for stuff coming from Europe.

Ive ordered about 30 DVD's from EroDVD only 1 order was confiscated, about another 3-4 were opened by customs but passed on, the rest were not inspected.

Ive only ordered 2 times from USA both were not inspected.

I would not be put off ordering from Europe especialy from EroDVD as they will replace the order is taken plus they are the cheapest place i have found.

As a matter of interest, Deanos, how do you know they've been opened by Customs?
Do they stamp a message on the outside of the packet or perhaps pop a note inside?
Love to know.
Many thanks, from Rump.

Its been months since i had one opened , but it had a stamp on it "Opened by Customs" or words to that affect cant remember exactly.

As for being confiscated you know about that when a brown customs letter drops on your doorstep instead of your order !
