Congrats on taking the plunge on gay dvds, Purepaul!

What did you end up ordering? I'm no expert on importing porn into the UK, but from what I understand, you shouldn't have a problem.

As long as you didn't order anything too extreme (with fisting or water sports) the UK should let it come through. From what I hear, if they DO confinscate it, they just send you a letter a few months down the line and let you know.

I'm sure RichardUK can elaborate on this a bit, but I would also check out the Shopping forum, as there have been quite a few discussions there lately about shipping porn to the UK.

Hi Purepauluk

I must admit I felt exactly the same way as you when I first decided to "take the plunge" and import some Adult DVD's to this country but I can honestly say there is very little to worry about!

I'd definitely suggest you read the various discussions in the Shopping forum as they helped to put my mind at rest.
From what I have read, UK Customs have now relaxed their position on porn and providing that it doesn't contain kids, animals or extreme sexual acts (i.e., fisting) they'll let it through.

If you were extremely unlucky and the delivery was confiscated you would just receive a letter telling you not to be a naughty boy in the future. The cops wouldn't be round banging on your door!

I have checked out all the Adult DVD sites that are affiliated to Adult DVD talk and have found Adultdvdnow.com to be the best. The service is absolutely second to none. They ship the dvd's in hard backed envelopes after having taken them out of the boxes. You still receive the original cover but will need to go out and buy a dvd case yourself. The envelope is not marked as containing anything other than documents and there is no price declaration so you won't be stung for import tax.

Just to give you an example of how fabulous adultdvdnow.com are, I ordered 4 dvd's on Monday evening at 11.30pm and received them on Wednesday morning two days later! It still blows my mind how any company can deliver so efficiently! Furthermore, their Customer service is great too and you receive replies to any emails in the space of a day usually.

Obviously, you'll want to check things out for yourself but my experiences have been great and I think back to how nervous I was when I made that first order! I've never looked back since!

Good luck and may you have many hours of happy viewing ;-)

Thanks you guys :) ive placed 2 orders one with fivestardvd and another with adultdvdboxoffice. I only ordered cheapo films just in case they do get taken off me by customs. Once i feel more comfortable with ordering xxx dvds ill start ordering the better stuff :)

I still cant believe how cheap they are on here. Me and my mate went into manchester a good few weeks back and bought 3 VHS films for 40 quid a peice a total of 4 hours in all. And now ive just ordered 8 hrs on dvd (although i dont know what theyll be like as there the cheapo ones LOL) for 15 quid each inc deliver. Even if they are crap, at 4hrs on each disc theres gotta be something good on one of them.

GOD BLESS AMERICA ! LOL

And thanx once again u guys :)

HI
I've imported gay dvd to the UK and not had nay problem though I have had trouble paying them. They are region 1 coding whereas most hardware/software is region 2 here in UK. What I have to do (until I can fins another solution) is reinstall the DVD softare (I am currently using either Power DVD or Win DVD) on my laptop. The disks will play as many times as you like but once you stich off it will not play again until I reinstall the software. Odd but it works. Am waiting for the day someone produces a portable DVD player that plays all regions!
happy shopping!

reggio16,

That's really odd that you would have region problems playing gay DVDs from the US. It was my understanding that most porn is labeled region 0, meaning they can be played wordwide?
