| rrdat Member Germany 15 Posts 11/01 |  Posted - Oct 28 2002 : 10:59AMToday I was informed that my DVD ordered from Five Star has been confiscated by German customs. Usually it was safe to order from Five Star because they used the nice remailing via Denmark, i.e. those packages were treated like mail within the EU, so there was no check by customs. If I may believe the photocopy of the envelope the customs office sent me, then the DVD was sent via Denmark as well. I don't know how customs got interested in this package (the photocopy is too dark to read Five Star's customs declaration, but if they declared correctly then the total price was below the critical 22 EUR mark), but they did and my DVD is gone :-( German customs are very active right now, so it looks like they start to learn the various tricks. So, to all buyers in Germany, be careful when ordering from Five Star! [Link] |

| Athos Member 151 Posts 3/02 | Posted - Oct 29 2002 : 1:17PM It is certainly a crazy situation: in the UK we can't buy in stores and have to buy mail order, in Germany vice versa. [Link] |
| rrdat Member Germany 15 Posts 11/01 | Posted - Oct 29 2002 : 3:53PM doesn't matter if it's anything nasty or not: mailing porn is not allowed (protection of minors). It's a real loss. In many cases Five Star's prices were the best by far (and safe shipping until now), but I [Link] |

| cubesnake Senior Member 3858 Posts 10/02 | Posted - Oct 30 2002 : 7:13AM These people will never learn that they can try to make it hard for a fan of adult entertainment ... but ... there will always be a way !! But not everything is to blame on the legislation. Why is it impossible to buy original US DVDs and VHS in Germany ? I guess the companies have no interrest in serving a few people. Plus they sell the rights to german companies which then will release those titles in their own way. Which is often a farce. You hardly ever get to read who is in the movie, lame dubbing, sometimes a 140 minut movie is being butchered into several tapes. I could go on forever. Not to mention a one to two year delay before the movies finally make it over here (if they ever make it at all)... and if you are lucky to find them and able to ID them. cube Edited by - cubesnake on 10/30/2002 7:14:31 AM [Link] |
