Over the last number of months, I placed orders with 3 Canadian sites:
http://www.videocanada.com
http://www.adultdvdboxoffice.com
http://www.sensualflixxx.com

SensualFlixxx - Limited selection, but what was ordered was stocked and arrived in less than a week. No problems. The way it should be.

VideoCanada - Delivery service was excellent. About 4 days and everything was in stock. But, I mis-ordered on one item, knew it before it was received and asked what I should do. I was told to return the disk unopened and given an address. I did so, with traceable shipment, but although it was received, VC claims it was not. I am out one disk and its cost. They carry some titles (Marc Dorcel) that are not available elsewhere, so I would go back if the missing disk was ever straightened out.

(A bunch of sites based on Canada seem to be agents for VC. You can generally tell because the billing info listed on each site is the same - "Club Video 29 Cents". Prices can vary site to site.)

AdultDVDBoxOffice - There is no connection between their listing of titles and what is in stock. You can wait anywhere from 1 week to over 2 months.

Prices at each of these sites were basically the same.

Why most Canadian sites cannot give you an indication of stock levels, I do not understand. DV-Depot does show stock, but you pay about 25-50% more for their titles. (I have not used them, so cannot comment on service.)

I've used ADVDBO on numerous occasions, and most of the time I've been very happy with their service. They're very good on returns and back-orders usually come into stock within two weeks. Prices very frequently undercut US sources (shipping is included in prices, and they have a facility to quote prices in £). The only thing that lets them down is no stock level quote, and sometimes shipping can be delayed (but that isn't their fault). Alongside Laser's Edge, they're my personal favourite supplier.

PS - VideoCanada only mail within Canada which makes them pretty useless to the rest of us :o)

My experience with ADBO may have just been the titles I ordered, but only 1 of 4 has been in stock and shipped within a couple of days of ordering. Their prices are good and the included shipping is a nice plus (especially if you are outside of Canada).

ADBO does give good updates and have been quick to answer questions unlike VC.

It is not that difficult to post stock levels, so I figure not doing it means the seller does not want to lose sales by posting that they have no stock. The problem is not limited to porn sites. Other Canadian e-tailers do not or cannot stock reasonable levels and they have lost sales to Amazon at least in my case.

In this day and age, I'm surprised to find companies any smaller than Amazon actually carrying stock. I think a lot of companies simply order on demand, and by not offering stock levels then they don't have to tell any fibs. The situation seems to be different for US retailers.

http://www.dv-depot.com is the best Canadian site for porn dvd's there is. They can be a little more expensive than ADVDBO, but they have a title request page where you can request certain titles be added (and they always do add them) and best of all, they actually say whether a title is in stock or not. They also have something called a flexicart, in which you can reserve a title for up to 30 days. You have it reserved for you, and you can take the 30 days to decide whether you want to buy it or not. If you don't want it, it goes back into circulation. Pretty cool.
I don't buy from anybody else except for my local store. I've had a few problems with ADVDBO listing titles on their site when you don't know if it's in stock or not, very frustrating when you find out that you have to wait a couple of months for a dvd that you expected to get in a couple of weeks.

I've had serious problems with DVDBoxoffice in the past (non-porn) and would personally go without ever buying another DVD ever again then order from them.

On the other hand, some others have sworn by them. So there you go.

cheers,
