Can someone tell me how bad customs are. I have ordered 2 dvd's from adult dvd 2000 they go to a lot of hassle to get you your films stuff like no box,cover they mark it computer software. So do I stand a good chance of getting my films. What do customs look out for.

As long as the package isn't heavy/big and either has a customs label showing that it's software you should be ok. I have received about 5 orders from [url=138595]www.adultdvdnow.com</A who send the covers with the discs in a plain envelope. Just last week I had a package (sent by [url=466307]www.dvdsxxxrated.com)</A seized by customs though, but that was most probably because the package contained too many discs and as such, was too heavy and bulky in size. I've received upto 10 in an envelope before now but I think upto 5 or 6 discs should get through no problem.

It is a bummer having customs seize my goods, but the guys at [url=466299]www.dvdsxxxrated.com</A are being pretty good about it and have offered to re ship some of my order. I'll let you guys know what happens with all of that later.

I bought some through [url=466306]http://www.adultmoviesbest.com,</A they came in a few days. Their customer service is good too, but they won't send the covers or boxes.

I have ordered about 10 from the US over the last year. I have got them sent 1 at a time though from a mail order place. I got to know the guy that runs it as when I go to the States on vacation, I buy from him (cheaper than retail) and he ships them to where I am staying.
He puts the disc in a plastic cover, then pops it inside 1/2 of a US computer magazine and sends it via one of the express postal systems that the normal US Post Office use. Marks it as a computer magazine so if they "feel" package they think "PC mag. with cover disc" - or so the theory goes. Costs an extra $7 but if he sends them at the weekend, I have them waiting for me when I get home on a Friday.
If you get a letter from the Customs to say they have seized it, do not take the chance of importing any again for about a year - seriously!! Customs have greater powers than the Police and can enter your house, without a court order, if they just suspect.
I know someone who got 3 letters from them and kept on ignoring them, then they turned up in the early hours one day, and went through his house. He had kept receipts for all the ones he had brought in and sold on, was done BIG time, not a nice time.

Lou, couldn't you ask adultmoviesbest to mail you the covers in a seperate packet, a week or so later? Just putting them in an A4 envelope with perhaps a few random bits of paper should get them through customs without problem (what's it going to be, 10 pieces of paper? hardly big enough to be a porn mag or something). Then you can just buy empty DVD cases locally and you're set.
Since I've ordered single units, and they're for personal use, I can import whatever I like into Australia, I've just asked adultdvdnow to remove them from the cases to make the parcel less likely to have the discs come loose in transit. I'll still get the covers in the same parcel, though.
Do they search your bags when coming and going from France?
Good luck guys,

I'm going to move this thread to Shopping. It could really help all our UK visitors. Thanks for the info.
