Hello.
I just want to inform you about the pore service that Adult DVD Explorer provides for its customers.

The main reason for my order to Adult DVD Explorer was that they had some
new features with Chloe Jones & Mercedes that few other have at that time.
The prices were relatively high but they had coupons with 15% of.

My initial order was made 22 may 2004 for 21 DVD’s. I choose the alternative
“send all when you get them in stock”. All of my ordered DVD’s had the
statement “Usually ships within 1 - 2 business days” on them.
I decided that the 4-10 days delivery was sufficient for me.

Important:
I choose to pay with my “internet VISA card”. This is an electronic VISA card that I have to
manually activate it before every buy, so it’s very safe to use on the internet.

This is what happened after my order was placed (in chronologic order):

1. I received a confirmation email in 1-2 days (Good).
2. They charged my VISA card for 10 DVD’s that the sent to me 26 May 2004
(Good response time, Bad because I have asked them to send all DVD’s at once and bad because now my internet VISA is deactivated for any more buys from Adult DVD Explorer, I have to activate it manually again remember)
3. When my parcel arrived to Sweden, they have not supplied any invoice, so the custom didn’t know if the shall charge me with some tax or not. This resulted in a hold in the custom and a letter to me. I have to ask for an invoice from Adult DVD Explorer 3 times via mail before I got one. I sent a copy to the custom and the parcel was released to me on 18 June 2004, almost one month after my order (not so good, if the invoice was included from the beginning I would have them in 2,5 weeks)
4. In the end of June I contacted Adult DVD Explorer to find out about the remaining 11 DVD’s. I had to sent 4 mail before I got any answer back. They had received 1 more
of my ordered titles but my order was on hold because of declined credit card. I explained to them about the function of my internet VISA card and once more asked them to contact me when they had all DVD’s in stock and to send “all of the remaining DVD’s in one parcel”. I planed to open my internet VISA for one buy when they contacted me. (Bad, they don’t seem to notice my request for just one parcel).
5. In the middle of July 2004 I contacted them again 3-4 mails and asked what was happening to my order. Then answer that they probably will have all items in stock in about one week. I again told them to contact me so I can open my internet VISA for them.
6. In the beginning of August 2004 I contacted them again with 4 mails with no response what so ever. I even sent a copy to my hotmail address to see if the mails rely was sent or not. And of course I received the copy in my hotmail.
7. In the 8 August 2004 I was totally fed up with Adult DVD Explorer service and I cancelled my remaining order (+ copy to my hotmail). I told them that I wanted them to confirm my cancel by a mail. Today when I logged in to “My account” on Adult DVD Explorer website I can see that my order finally are cancelled (no confirming mail yet)

Spare yourself this ordeal and shop somewhere else.
Please feel free to comment and to suggest a proper supplier of DVD’s for me in the future.

That's the reason I stick with online stores I know and which I'm happy with, stores like FivestarDVD, Lasersedge, AdultDVDNow and of course EroDVD.

Btw, why did customs take the order? Did they also ship the boxes with the DVD's or just the artwork/discs?

ERODVD isn't that good either.

I ordered a Red Light DVD from them and they sent me the title from Shiva without ever asking if i would take it also from Shiva.
And then they expect me to pay the shipping for sending it back to them.

Fivestar is great - ok they sent me also one time a wrong dvd (Perversions from PXP instead of JYLC Perversions) but they sent me the right one at no extra costs for me without having to sent back anything.

So better go with Fivestar in the future.

re : grimreaper

You're scaring me, dude. I've placed an order just this weekend on adultdvdexplorer for 3 titles of....Mercedez & Chloe Jones ! I already had one pending order for "Taya's Tales" but it had not hit its street date yet, and unfortunately I couldn't cross-reference both orders to cut on shipping fees, nor was there a function to cancel the pending order and add "Taya's" to the new order. And now your customs experience got me panicked ! What exactly is an invoice ?

Hello Ramsey, and thanks for your reply.
I think I will try FivestarDVD next time.
Any exp. with moviesbymail.com?

The custom didn’t take the order, they just hold it. If the value of the content is moor then $35 we sometimes have to pay import tax on the DVD's. It has happen just this time with the Adult DVD Explorer. About 10 other orders have slipped past the custom her in Sweden. One god thing however is that Sweden is very liberal to porn. Never any problem with the content.

Adult DVD Explorer sent boxes + artworks. I think this + the fact that the invoice was missing, which made the custom curies on my specific parcel.

Greetings vodka tonic!

It seems like we share some common dreams of Mercedez & Chloe Jones !

I hope that you will have better luck then me with Adult DVD Explorer.
But as I implied in my initial mail I can't accept companies
that don't answer mail and not bother to follow any wishes or directions from there customers.

An invoice is a paper which states the content and what the price is for these items
(just like a delivery note but with prices on each item).

Nope I haven't. I only stick with the stores now that I know are good.
