| Joel Member  331 Posts 5/05 |  Posted - May 27 2005 : 10:57PMI live in the UK. I am always hearing about seizures and people getting busted for ordering porn from online. Anybody in the UK have a 100% success rate in ordering porn from online and if so, what site did you use? So many bullshit legal judgements in the UK. Not that ANY of it makes any difference, it's just a pain in the ass! [Link] |

| timotei Member UK 271 Posts 4/02 | Posted - Jun 2 2005 : 4:29AM Talking of Soho, I shudder at the thought of how much I used to pay for DVDs there before I started buying online. Quite usual to pay 40-50 GBP per film in the unlicensed shops (before R18s really started appearing). It makes me depressed to sell some of my older films now, usually for 5 quid or so, when the price sticker on the front says 45... Ouch! [Link] |

Goods can sometimes be seized, sometimes be lost in the post, and yes, sometimes even stolen. I can't offer you a 100% foolproof way to order, but I have found most of the well-recommended suppliers mentioned by the users of this forum have achieved these compliments by doing a decent job, so why not check out the numerous recommendations in the International Shopping guide thread and try placing a low-value order as a test? My tips would definitely be stick to well known suppliers and to never order more than you can afford to lose. That might sound a little negative, and in truth my experience suggests ordering from abroad is a million times more reliable than buying from the kind of stores Lou and Timotei mention. Most of us who bought porn before the more recent "liberalisation" (I use the word advisedly) will be all too familiar with the good old British porno rip off! [Link] |

| neophyte Member UK 101 Posts 2/04 | Posted - Jun 4 2005 : 8:45PM So far, UK customs have opened one packet addressed to me, and resealed it - so it arrived no problemo. I guess my taste is insufficiently interesting to them. ;-) [Link] |
| Joel Member 331 Posts 5/05 | Posted - Jun 6 2005 : 9:36PM Typically how long does standard mail from the US take to reach the UK? Obviously it varies, but surely I can get a better estimate that 3 - 10 days... I really DON'T want to go to the depot! Edited by - joel on 6/6/2005 9:37:13 PM [Link] |
| Gabriel Nine Senior Member Firecracker 1273 Posts 8/01 | Posted - Jun 8 2005 : 4:54PM Standard mail can actually take longer than 10 days to reach the UK from the US. Better to choose Global Priority for a speedy solution, uninsured of course, or a courier, though it is likely Fed Ex or DHL will invoice you for customs charges if you use a supplier who is unwilling to reduce the cost of goods stated on the customs declaration to a value below the customs threshold.
