Hi there,

just when I thought my very good experience with adult DVD ordering could not get any better (see my comment on Dvddiscount.tv) I must already correct myself.

I have ordered 6 DVDs from Fivestar on Sunday, 23 February 2003. All are Evil Angel releases as those are not available from Dvddiscount.tv and cost a hell of a lot of money in my local store. Among them was Fashionistas.

Today the shipment arrived with FedEx. Three days delivery only! Incredible.

And the new flat rate of USD 18,- for up to 8 DVDs really is a bargain because it saves me about 10 to 20 USD per DVD compared to local prices.

Thanks a lot Fivestar. You will receive more orders from me.

You do realise that about a month from now you will get a nice letter from Fedex invoicing you for

1) An administration fee
2) Customs duties
3) VAT

The letter takes a while but it will turn up

Not dissing FiveStar in any way. The Fedex charges are a fact of life.

@brasilfan
I'm interested if you ordered again from Fivestar with Fedex and if they charged you some extra fees yet like mentioned from pb3 ?

Let's say you order DVDs for a value for 100$.
(say 1$ = 1 Euro).

Then you will have to pay:

18$ FEDEX shipping (prepaid to Fivestar)

and the following costs to FEDEX:
19$ Zoll und Einfuhrumsatzsteuer for the DVDs(19% of 100$)
7$ "Administration Fee" for FEDEX
8$ taxes for the value of the FEDEX shipping (even if you've paid 18$, the regular price for FEDEX shipping from the USA to Germany is about 50$, so you will have to pay 16% tax of 50$).

Sometimes it will take a long time until FEDEX calculates the taxes but you will get a invoice from them.

On the other side you can often use a 10% coupon if you order for $100 or more from fivestar, you can use additional 5% kickback rebates and FEDEX shipping prevents seizurements by customs until now.
