Last week i placed my 1st order with eurodvd for the GGG dvd "Betty Im Spermagluck" and today it arrived.
I was more amazed at the fact that my parcel had been opened an passed by H.M Customs. I know that the rules have been relaxed but i would have thought that GGG titles would have been judged too extreme for An BBFC "R18" certificate.
Cool, good to hear your success story , btw, could you tell me more how they package the DVD ? is your DVD arrive with box or just the disc ? is your DVD ship with plain package, with no adult related stuff stated or declare on the envelope ? what is the custom declaration of the package ? DVD or software ?
The jiffy bag was as plain as they come: no company logos(just their address), stamps were used and my name and address were handwritten with magic marker.
No customs declarations as it was a shipping within EU.
I ordered 4 DVD's from Erodvd.nl on Saturday and they turned up today. Unpackaged as I requested (in seperate CD jewel cases) and with a free pen! Highly recommended.
I'm blown away by the service - three days from ordering to my disk arriving this morning. Michael Ninn's Diva#1 (which is unavailable in the US).
Modification: I had the chance to watch the disk this evening, and I have to point out that it's a German dub with no original soundtrack. Having said that, I don't think most of us buy porno movies for the sparkling dialogue, do we? ;o) Excellent quality disk from MMV in Germany with few extras, but for the price and speed of delivery to the UK well worth it - and the free pen's nice too.

Heys guys..that Traci Lord flick Diva Girls..how old is Traci Lords in that flick sold by Eurodvd.nl?
If I remember that right, Traci started making porn films at the age of 15 in 1984. Diva girls was created in 1985. I don't know the exact production date, but Traci Lords was born on 5/7/68.
Seems like I was unlucky. Ordered the same title on the 2nd May and received a Notice of Seizure this morning. Apparently this DVD has 'Scenes of Urination' on it and customs are not allowing it through.
I wasn't aware of these scenes can anyone confirm?
I don't know what scenes of urination the film has but UK customs shouldn't be seizing, provided that the urination isn't during sex. Thieving gits! You can e-mail your local HMCE from their website www.hmce.gov.uk to get them to explain their reasoning further without having to phone them up about it....
See this from melonfarmers!
I noticed this week another video cut due to urination. Slumber Party 11 was cut by 32s for an R18 with the following justification: Company required to make cuts to female urination during sex in line with BBFC guidelines in order to achieve an R18.
However the BBFC have been consulting with various enforcement agencies and have now decided that urination is acceptable as long as it does not take place during sex. In fact Barely Legal 1 & 2 have already been passed R18 and contain scenes of urination prior to the sex scenes.
Encrypted, Sorry to hear about your order. I think Customs are putting all orders from Erovideo under the microscope because I had an order inpected only last week and a few other members here have as well.
As to the GS scenes in the GGG DVD they are shown in the trailers and not in the main feature.
Okay so there is urination in the trailers. But as I've not seen it myself I don't know whether to reply to the letter or put it down to bad luck.
This is the first time that I've imported an adult dvd and was suprised to receive the letter considering the messages here! Eurodvd have told me that customs have to give it back as it's legal in the UK. But they also say that 'There are no scenes of urination for sure.' and that I am the first who has not got the GGG dvd. Typical!
What do you think I should do? How bad are the urination scenes and would they comply with BBFC guidelines?
I was thinking of ordering one or both of the GGG DVDs from Erodvd, but if they are being seized then I won't. I have great sympathy for anyone who has had their rightful property stolen by Customs, because it's happened to me on several occasions. None of the items seized then would be seized now.
The only DVDs I have are two copies of Private Sampler 1 (both free with a load of hardcore mags) and Gigolo 1&2, which I bought very recently from Erodvd. I ordered these on April 28th and they were delivered on May 3rd, with no Customs interference.
I just wonder whether Erodvd make things easy for Customs. Firstly, they write the address by hand and although it is done neatly, a printed one might arouse less suspicion. Secondly, and more importantly, they put a sticker on the front of the envelope with their address. Customs must be on the lookout for this now.
I would complain about the seizure to:
Andrew McNamara HM CUSTOMS & EXCISE Counterfeit & Pornography Enforcement 2 1st Floor West New King's Beam House 22 Upper Ground London, SE1 9PJ
Tel: 020 7865 5680 Fax: 020 7865 4808
If you appeal against your Notice of Seizure, you might have to pay court costs. You could ask Mr McNamara about this. He can be contacted by email by I don't know the address. Others who have contacted him say he is helpful. Perhaps by making a bit of a fuss, Customs will give you the DVD. It belongs to you, not them. If you don't do anything, the DVD will be destroyed.
I would still like to read a description of these urination scenes to see if it is worth going any further. I don't want to make a fuss and then fall at the first hurdle!
Also, from what I've read the second title has fisting and urination in the trailers... I know the trailer are an free bonus but without these trailers the films would be legal in the UK!
Looks like I'll have to get in touch with Erodvd as they offer a 100% delivery guarantee. However, there attitude at the moment seems to be that customs have to release it.
Both GGG DVDs that are currently out have excessive pissing scenes. Not in the main feature but in the trailer. I would say "pissing-orgy" is not a bad word to describe the scene....
