| Another porn addict Member  UK Member 315 Posts 2/05 |  Posted - Apr 25 2005 : 1:07PMHi everyone. Was just wondering how many discs everyone orders when using the Global Priority Envelope/No cases method from the States. I think this method is uninsured so any losses are not covered. Has anyone ever had any orders using this method lost/replaced by their supplier? I've ordered 2-4 discs per envelope on my global priority envelope orders so far, but was wondering how many can be safely squeezed into these envelopes. On my last order of 4 discs, the envelope was starting to come open - which could have been down to the number of discs inside or down to the seal just coming loose in transit/not having been fully secured before despatch. Thanks for any replies.  [Link] |
| eokg Member 68 Posts 3/03 | Posted - Apr 25 2005 : 11:57PM I just received an order for 4 discs (NO cases) from Lasersedge which came in a cardboard box a few weeks ago. It came in a cardboard box measuring 7.75 in length x 6 in width x 1.25 in height which can easily store up to 10-12 DVD discs. The DVD discs were individually slotted into thin paper/plastic protection sleeves. It had a Customs Declaration sticker stating, "Magnetic Software Data Disc" valued at US$10.00. This method is also uninsured.  [Link] |
| Another porn addict Member UK Member 315 Posts 2/05 | Posted - Apr 26 2005 : 12:45AM I think I found the answer to one of my questions last night when looking through the shipping policies of quite a few suppliers promoted as vendors on this site. There are two sizes of Global Priority Envelope. The smaller is supposed to be able to hold up to 10 discs/covers and the larger up to 20/covers. It would still be interesting to hear though if anyone who uses the Global Priority Envelope method regularly orders large quantities successfully using this method. (Has anyone heard anything from Sir W. recently? I haven't seen him posting lately) [Link] |
| sir wankalot Member UK 904 Posts 5/03 | Posted - Apr 26 2005 : 10:26AM I've had dvds replaced by retailers from here (from memory Fivestardvd and Adultdvdtoday). The discs either turned up damaged or not at all. In one case the original order turned weeks late and having subsequently been replaced i returned the dvds to the retailer (being an honest chap). The smaller globall priority envelopes hold up to 5 discs comfortably. The most i've ordered in one go is 10. This was from Adultdvdtoday who offer 1-5 discs at $4.95 and 6-15 discs at $9.95. In reply to your e mail ADA 'Adultdvdnow' are fine but i think their shipping is comparitively pricey. [Link] |

| ADN Adult DVD Now Customer Service San Diego, CA USA 24 Posts 6/00 | Posted - Apr 29 2005 : 2:38PM 5 years ago, we did extensive testing with our International customers, and found that although we could fit more we did experience problems with theft, customs intervention, imposed duties and taxes to our customers, delays, and damage DVD's.. We ship a maximum of 4 DVD's in the large Global Priority Mail envelope.. If an order contains 5, we will split in to 2 envelopes.. This has definitely maintained safe transit for the DVD's and cover art.. Although we still do experience the occasional damage DVD or customs issue, the success rate is still higher than 99%.. We have been asked in the past to change our policy, but with the success we experience now versus what we experienced before, it is really not feasible.

| Another porn addict Member UK Member 315 Posts 2/05 | Posted - Apr 29 2005 : 5:28PM Frank - could you just clarify what you mean by the 'large' Global Priority Envelope? The way I understood it there are two sizes - the smaller one which can supposedly fit up to 10 (is this the one you use to send a maximum of 4?) and a larger one which can supposedly fit up to 20 (maybe this was what loop had his goods shipped to Israel in?)

| ADN Adult DVD Now Customer Service San Diego, CA USA 24 Posts 6/00 | Posted - Apr 29 2005 : 6:58PM Also, the USPS requires declaration of anything over a pound, so the chances of duties being imposed is heightened.. And lastly, these are envelopes.. By USPS(or any carrier) policy envelopes are machineable thus handled differently than boxes, which is why the USPS charges sufficiently less than they do for Global Priority Boxes.. So the the thicker the envelope, the better the chance of damage.. It is really not a risk that we are willing to take, we would rather our product get there as quick as possible, and in one piece..Youre welcome, happy to help..
