Bill  All-Star Member  5334 Posts 6/00 |  Posted - Aug 23 2002 : 7:58PMI recently placed an order with Erovideo. In the order confirmation e-mail, I was told "We will send this order without boxes. This because the lower chance that Customs confiscate the order." I have a couple of questions. Do European DVD's have cases like US DVD's do (with the clear plastic cover where cover art is inserted) or are the cases the hard "clamshell" type cases where the cover art is a part of the case (like some Euro video tapes I have received)? If the cases are like the US cases, does Erovideo ship the cover art insert or do they just ship the DVD itself? Does Orgazmik ship the covers (or cover art) with their DVD's? I placed an order with them as well. They didn't mention anything about whether they ship the covers or not. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me. [Link] |

| Erovideo.nl Member 29 Posts 4/01 | Posted - Aug 24 2002 : 1:37PM We send always a confirmation that we send without boxes but that`s an standard answer. We can send the way you prever, no problem. Just send us an email after you have ordered which contents the way of shipping you prever. Specially for Private boxes because they have sometimes double layers and the size is different.I can imagen you would like to have them also. Sorry about my english writing but I hope that I have given the answer you need. We all the best we can to avoid custom checks but if they confiscate your order(that chance is very low at the moment) contact us again then we will send again for free.

| Bill All-Star Member 5334 Posts 6/00 | Posted - Aug 24 2002 : 4:28PM A few months ago, I wrote in a thread in the US Shopping forum that I wish that US companies would ship like this because it would greatly reduce shipping costs. I received my order in a little over a week and I will definitely order from Erovodeo again. Thanks for all of the replies. [Link] |

| lazenby Member London, United Kingdom 274 Posts 12/00 | Posted - Aug 25 2002 : 8:57AM My last 2 orders were sent without boxes but were still checked by H.M Customs. These were sent on ASAP. I still received these orders within 3 days, which is good from Holland to UK. [Link] |
| scipio Senior Member 1901 Posts 2/00 | Posted - Aug 26 2002 : 12:56AM As has been my experience, most Euro DVDs have plastic cases with colour inserts, like US ones, but there are SOME companies that have the "Cardboard clamshell" cases with the art printed onto it. Euro Private DVDs should all be of the plastic-with-insert type, though I have found that several Goldlight titles are of the Clamshell variety. Their different sites referred to are erovideo.nl and erodvd.nl -I would imagine this is because their business started off as primarily video sales, but with the growth of dvd they decided to open a dvd-centric site. Though both sites seem to offer some of both. For PAL vs NTSC releases, I'd strongly suggest that you ask them on a case by case basis which are which, after all they as a European company are more likely to have predominantly PAL suppliers. cheers, scipio [Link] |

| cykedout Member Ireland 245 Posts 8/00 | Posted - Aug 29 2002 : 11:43AM I think it seems to be because of the aftermath of September 11th and the requirements of sender's (Ero's) address being on packages and envelopes, that they are monitoring here in Ireland and thus searching and stopping any they find. Do any other Irish forum members have similar problems OR can Aline do something concerning this. Anyone with opinions, please feel free to respond.

| scipio Senior Member 1901 Posts 2/00 | Posted - Sep 10 2002 : 10:08AM The packaging was also quite subtle, the only reason I knew what it was was because I was expecting it around now, and because of the postmark. Was very happy, and immediately placed a followup order this afternoon. (my personal rule with anything I buy through the mail, DVD or otherwise is "one in, one out" ie no followup orders to/from anyone till the previous order is fully supplied, even if it takes months for that last backordered item) And yes, the dvds arrived with the slicks/artwork, to just be slid into empty DVD cases. These were Privates, you might want to double-check with who you order from on other European DVD studios. cheers, scipio [Link] |
