Maybe I'm missing something, but aren't european suppliers more expensive? I've only ever used FiveStar in the U.S., but there seem to be many other reputable companies. I ordered a single disc from Fivestar and didn't get chared any customs fees, so it cost about £20 inc. postage, aren't Vidshops discs £30 each before postage? Very few people seem to experience difficulties with delivery from the states with customs etc, and they seem to have a wider product range aswell. If there are any real bonuses to ordering in Europe will someone please tell me!!

It's no secret that if you want to buy porn in Europe you need deep pockets. That's rip-off Britain/Europe for you. Charge as much as you can get away with, not what it's worth.

Having said that erovideo.nl/erodvd.nl have to be commended for breaking the mould and charge realistic prices with an excellent service to boot. I just hope other European retailers follow suit.

The US is without doubt the cheapest place to buy US produced porn but you still need to look closer home for the European sourced stuff.

You can use ADT's price search to find the lowest prices.

You're right.
The advantage that I have found is that Orgazmik, while much more expensive, have given me the best and quickest service - often delivering in a matter of a couple of days. All I can say is that now they are a little too expensive.

The advantage, as Charlie says, is that you can get the movies that are not available in the US, or indeed Euro versions of US titles.

Charlie is right - porn has always been expensive, we're used to softcore rip-offs, hugely expensive bootlegs and so on, even now the legal R18 category is more expensive than American porn. In fact, a lot of consumer goods are more expensive in the UK and Europe than the US, and porn is no different!
There are lots of excuses for this - economies of scale etc - but part of the reason is the price consumers are prepared to pay, lack of choice and so on. So to get online porn from the States is great!

I shall refrain from commenting on Vidshop!

I think possibly the worry of items getting seized in customs may be the reason some people choose to order from inside the UK. I know that's the reason why I haven't ordered some discs from overseas yet (even though I am planning on doing so real soon).

Further to this topic I have just come across Statesidedvduk.com a UK based supplier that seem to be moving in the right direction in product range and pricing. They stock GGG and Videorama which has got my attention already.

I have not used them yet so can't vouch for their service. Anybody here used them?

I think I will drop them a line to see if they will be interested in joining us here.

I've been very happy with Stateside so far. They're slightly more expensive and not the fastest but ship from inside UK, so you can happily order stuff that might get stopped at customs.

They've just changed their credit card company - previously you'd get an automatic note that said items had shipped when they plainly hadn't. We'll see how things go with this new outfit.

Thanks for the feedback, douglasb. I will keep an eye out for them and yes you can still buy cheaper elsewhere, but they are not too expensive for shipping inside the UK if Customs is a big concern.
