LAST ORDER: Feb 2003

AVG SHIPPING TIME: Laser's Edge - 8 days to 2 weeks (via their Adult Shipping Special)

COMMENTS: On balance I feel Laser's Edge have the best blend of the qualities I am looking for, great service and excellent personal attention via email being paramount, shipping rates and good prices are also important. Stock levels and availability could be better, but overall they've done a great job for me.

1. Laseredge: I love this site because of the $1.99 shipping and because their prices are very good compared to other sites. You can't go wrong with Laseredge. They also have a great customer service department. Their search engine could improve though and they should update their site faster like putting up newer titles sooner than they do. I also wish they would put the real time stock-status when searching for titles.

2. AdultDVDNow: Very good prices and they often have great coupons which you can use. Shipping is also not very expensive and they deliver pretty fast and the package is very professional. Their search engine works pretty good and they also mention the real time stock-status which is great but I just don't like it that they won't allow you to see the full size boxcover. Other than that they're great.

3. EroDVD: Free shipping and they have a lot of DVD's at very cheap prices. The only problem would be the fact that they are pretty fast out of stock and they don't work with back-orders or inform you if they have it back in stock. I hope they can change this in the future. I also would like to see bigger boxcovers to preview.

4. FiveStarDVD: Very good prices and shipping is also not very expensive. Very fast shipping. Their site is very easy to search in and you can see the full size boxcovers which is very important to me. They also mention real time stock-status, again very important to me because I hate to wait for movies which are not in-stock.

MY COUNTRY: United Kingdom (Brighton)
FAVOURITE STORE: Laser's Edge in the US.

LAST ORDER: January 2003

AVG SHIPPING TIME: 7-14 days, from order to arrival.

COMMENTS: Best features of this site are, 1. the $1.99 shipping rate, regardless of order size, which is amazing. And 2. the fact that they mark the customs sticker with a low rate, which is important for UK (and possibly other) shoppers. Then 3. their restocking speed if something is back-ordered is quick. Only downside I can think of is that their title range is sometimes limited - some Evil Angel titles are not stocked.

I would also generally agree with Gabriel Nine's list. Some shorter comments on other stores i've used over the years:

Orgazmik from Switzerland, are good and fast, with a nice range of euro and US titles. Only downside is they aren't that cheap.

EroDVD based in the Netherlands, are very cheap with free shipping, with plenty of obscure euro titles, not so many US titles. But their website is clunky in my opinion, no order tracking at present. And they can be erratic with stocks and no backordering. I still have a soft spot for this place!

StatesideDVDUK has a fairly good range, but isn't cheap. Main benefit is that they dispatch from within the UK which is important to some people.

AdultVideoUniverse based in the US, have a good range and I've used them to get titles that Laser's Edge didn't have. Fairly quick and cheap, delivery is about $10 per order though. Downside is that they mark the full value on the customs sticker, so I got charged for import taxes.

XoDVDs based in the Netherlands I believe. Very fast order turnaround, and reasonable delivery charge (about 4 euros). Some titles have cheap prices (others not) but an impressive range of titles.
They ship with boxes, for some reason.

FAVOURITE STORE (Europe): Erodvd
LAST ORDER: March 2003
AVG SHIPPING TIME: 5 - 7 days

COMMENTS:
Pros: Cheap prices compared to other European retailers. Free shipping and commendably a lot of effort put into packaging discreetly. Now offers secure payment using Paypal. Fast response to emails (In my experience). They also run a bricks and mortar store so not titles are listed online. Mail them if you are looking for anything specific.
Cons: Stocks can run out without notification.

AVG SHIPPING TIME: 5 days

COMMENTS:
Pros: Easy way for non-Japanese speaking shoppers to buy JAV, the site is run by a US ex-pat. Plenty of DVD’s here for the cum fetish fans. Shipping is reasonably cheap for a Japan based retailer. Good friendly customer service.

FAVOURITE STORE (Japan): AVCosmo
English site
LAST ORDER: 2002 sometime
AVG SHIPPING TIME: 3 - 4 days

COMMENTS:

Fave Stores:
1)dvdboxoffice FREE shipping, ship titles separately, none too expensive.
2)Lasers Edge.
3)XODvds- Expensive but have caught them having sales, Very quick to deliver, I usually order late Sunday night & have them Wednesday.

Note. DvdBoxOffice claim all their adult titles are the full directors version etc.. which isn't strictly true, Ben Dover titles being an example of videos censored for the American market.

Favourite : Fivestardvd.

Pros : Fedex shipping is cheap. DVD prices, not so bad. Customer service is good. Declaration as ********, which is not taxable in Malaysia.

Cons : None.

Note : Used to be a Lasersedge customer, before they increase their Courier shipping charges. Also a Adultdvdnow customer, drop 'em as their dvd price is expensive. DVDExplorer as well, but customer service is not so good.

Be happy to have tried FivestarDVD and stick to 'em.

FAVOURITE STORE (Europe): Erodvd
LAST ORDER: January 2003
AVG SHIPPING TIME: 4 - 7 days

COMMENTS:
Pros : Great prices, free shipping, great service (Aline is always very responsive and helpful). New website is an improvement.

Cons : Some of the titles listed are actually out of stock, and I wish they'd carried a bit more DVDs from Videorama/DVDrama, Magma and DBM.

FAVOURITE STORE (US): Lasersedge
LAST ORDER: January 2003
AVG SHIPPING TIME: 10 days or so when in stock , otherwise one of my orders (back-ordered) took almost three months but that's the exception...

COMMENTS:
Pros : Prices are not the lowest, but that's compensated by that great $1.99 shipping special. Good selection of US porn DVDs. Very reliable.

Cons : out of stock items in your order will get to you eventually but it will take a long time... No longer carrying some pissing titles from Mother Productions... Range of titles can be limited for some of the Studios.

+++EDITED I DON'T RECOMMEND ORDERING FROM
LASERSEDGE ANYMORE TOO MANY PROBLEMS OF LATE+++

I've tried a few other stores over the years but now I stick with erodvd.nl and lasersedge.com with the occasional order to Orgazmik.com (fast, efficient good range, but overly expensive).

Erodvd
Last ordered a few weeks ago, waiting on an order to arrive so I can place the next one.. (Sept 2004)
Shipping time varies between 10 and 20 days from Europe to Australia, so I can live with that, especially with this international climate. DVDs are sent without cases and in a customs-friendly manner. Aline has in my experience had good customer service and fast email reply.

Laser's Edge
Last ordered Mid 2004. Shipping time is usually about 3-4 weeks. Their shipping prices are again fantastically low, and I also like the cheap shipping option to tack mainstream titles on for 50c each. The lack of kickback is a bit of a shame.. and honestly if they applied the cheap shipping across the board with their mainstream titles, I'd be buying a lot more from them as I generally can't find enough porn I want to buy from them, (as I get my Privates elsewhere) as opposed to mainstream R1 titles. I tend to order mainstream titles from there and tack on a couple of porn titles that I want in order to get the cheap shipping rate! Several shipping options available. Marc offers great email customer service.

Fivestar
Last ordered in the middle of 2002. Shipping time is usually 10-20 days, but can be longer at times. Prices are usually quite good, shipping is quite reasonable compared to most, but can add up compared to the above 2 retailers. Freebie DVDs offered with orders over various amounts, the freebies range from the expected utter shite to some surprisingly decent stuff. Kickback-friendly, which certainly helps to cut into the postage costs. Several shipping options available. Ethan is quite possibly the king of Adult-DVD customer service, although Ken and all the other staff I have dealt with are very good also.

Adult DVD Today
Last ordered a few months ago (Early 2005), very fast turnaround time with both email replies and order despatch. Shipping time is currently less then a week from order to arrival in Australia. Located in Hawaii which makes them marginally closer to my timezone should I ever need to telephone them. Involved in the Kickback program, which is always a bonus and they also offer coupons based on your order cost which further cut down the cost of shipping. No problems whatsoever at my end and a pleasure to deal with. Combine all this with the good exchange rate of the Aussie dollar vs the Greenback at the moment and you have my main retailer of choice smut at the moment.

cheers,

Strange person does not speak about ACTION DVD
Prices, choices and speed are their principal assets.And all this towards France.

A exemple:all products are available, I order Sunday, I am prevented Tuesday by email that my order was sent.And finally I receive the parcel Friday morning.
Carriage costs for France: 10$75 (8 DVD)

I ordered 4 times at ACTION DVD and I was never disappointed.

If not I await 2 orders at ERODVD & EROVIDEO

The reception is very cordial at AAHSEX.

concerning LASEREDGE,I wait after 3rd ordered Dvd already 2 months ago.However the DVD are supposedly available into 1 or 3 days.And the prices are not low of the market

If you buy only one movie the price is not fantastic but :

- if you buy 1 movie, you receive a free dvd.. AND if you buy 3 DVD you can choose 4th for free.. And HERE it's cheaper, because you pay 3, and you receive 5 (the free dvd + the dvd i choose for free)

sometimes you have "flash discount" where you buy 2 movie and you can have 3rd for free..

my favorite because galleries are free..

i don't buy other compagny.. sorry

Anyway:

• MY COUNTRY: Canada (Toronto)
• FAVOURITE STORE: Adult DVD Box Office. I should note that jamesuk listed the mainstream Web site in his post - which doesn't provide a link, that I know of, to their adult site.
• LAST ORDER: July, 2003.
• AVG SHIPPING TIME: 3-5 days.
• COMMENTS: I've never had anything but a positive experience from this store. The mainstream side of their business has inflated prices (at least in comparison to other places such as Future Shop (recently bought by Best Buy from the States) and Amazon Canada, so no doubt their adult movies are also a bit inflated - however, I've yet to find a cheaper Canadian site.

  Another Canadian site, that several people have rated favourably, is Adult DV-Depot. However, a price comparison between them has always resulted in Adult DVD Box Office having the lower price. (Especially when factoring in shipping since ADBO has free shipping.) So, I've never ordered from them.

• CONTACT (optional): Go ahead and email me here at ADT.

US shoppers also find this a useful thread (and forum) so that they can identify the most useful non-US based companies, as US shoppers occasionally purchase Euro and Asian DVDs.

As for DVD Box Office, I had a horrible experience with them a few years ago over a mainstream DVD fuckup which they admitted was their own fault yet stonewalled me. In the end I had to threaten them with getting my Bank to chargeback the Visa transaction. I've also not been able to get off their mailing list for 2 1/2 years, despite many emails and using their "form" on the page to try to remove it. While your mileage may of course vary, and I'm glad you had good experiences with them, they get my personal strongest reccomendation to avoid. Maybe they offer better CS to fellow Canadians who can actually drive over there and clock them.

Some say ero dvd: don't find them cheap and not a lot of movies .

Location: belgium

I order allways in the us:

Companies:

Adult dvd empire :
the first time i did an order here the package didn't arrive, took the cheapest method and after several weeks still nothing.
They promised to resend it again if this time i paid for the fast way (ups), which they did and the package arrived 2 days later with no extra costs but the shipping costs.

After that no more problems, they also have a great customer service.

Packages arrives after 2 - 3 days ( ups )

Xonair

they are cheaper than adult dvd empire but they only sent the discs and the sleeves. for the boxes you need to pay extra.

Never had problems with them

Packages arrives after 2 - 3 days ( FEDEX )

i just hope that in the future there will be a good
renting site for europe or belgium like the many good ones in the us ( xrentdvd,... ), but that's off topic

FAVOURITE STORES US:

1) AdultDVDToday They have a frequently updated inventory , so what they say is available actually is . When I've had any questions or problems ( I accidentally entered the wrong expiry date on my credit card info ) with orders then the response has been fast and helpful . But best of all is the shipping method , the disks will come ( with artwork ) in a thin cardboard envelope . This means that not only will they arrive quickly ( 4/5 days ) but I've had no problems with customs .

2) Movies By Mail They're fairly new so not every studio is represented yet , however they must buy in bulk because the prices are about the best out there . Only had one order with them so far and it arrived quickly .... But , it was opened by customs . This was due to a poor choice in packaging on their part and also possibly because I requested that the cover art be sent as well . Note - they will not send the artwork unless you ask for it .

3) Fivestar I Feel safe ordering from these guys , on top of which they have some very decent special offers from time to time . The only point of concern is their courier shipping service . They use FedEx which does arrive quickly and in good shape , but you are liable to get a letter in the post from FedEx asking for £15+ to pay for VAT at customs . They do mark the full value of goods on the outside of the package . My suggestion is to use the cheaper shipping methods .

FAVOURITE STORES EUROPE:

1) CyberDVDx Offer just about the best prices on Salieri and Dorcel DVDs that I've found , and some of their discount titles are quite appealing too - Lex the Impaler 1 & 2 . Shipping was handled well ( in a cardboard box ) , but there is no English language option on the site so you have to have a knowledge of some basic French .

2) BestDVDx Most of the titles are way overpriced , especially the American imports . However they do offer a substantial selection of cheap Euro versions , of Buttman mainly . If you scroll down the Genre bar to DVD A 12Euro90 then a whole bunch of titles will reveal themselves .

Thanks for the kind comments, we have been around since 99, we are increasing our studios on a daily basis, we carry currently over 50,000 movies in our warehouse. Also, our store is live database as well, what you see is in stock.

[ invalid url ] an american based site that sells all sorts of dvd's but look a little closer and you'll find a hardcore section that is remarkably cheap, not a huge selection of titles but they constantly change stock so if you see something you like pick it up because chances are it won't be there if you check back in a few weeks time.

i know a few uk stores that sell r18 titles but why bother even if u check at the bbfc website to see if its been cut beforehand, all the dvds extras will have gone and even the menu screens will have been reduced to just 'play' or 'scene selection'.

[Link]

Stores:

1. Laser's Edge
Overall score: 5/5
Pros: Excellent selection of titles, great customer service. Titles added fairly quickly.
Cons: Shipping may be a touch expensive (if you're using DHL, as I do). May take some time to re-stock titles. No ADT kickbacks.
Bottom line: One of the best stores out there. Top-notch customer service and a great selection make this a worthy stop for any buyer.

2. Adult CD Movies
Overall: 4/5
Pros: Good selection of titles. Shipping costs.
Cons: Shipping costs. No ADT kickbacks.
Bottom line: The flat $35 international shipping rate is both good and bad. If you're using a courier service (like FedEx or DHL), it's not too bad. You have to buy a lot (more than 7) for it to be really worthwile, though. If it has to avoid the post office and you're buying a lot of videos, this is the place to go.

3. DVD Advantage
Overall: 2/5
Pros: You can use your ADT kickbacks. Shipping costs.
Cons: DVDs cost an arm, a leg, and an ear.
Bottom line: Their shipping is similar to Adult CD Movies' deal, though they use FedEx. However, their prices tend to be very high. Not recommended.

Hello, like the both of you, I am also in the Philippines. Kamusta? Magtatanong lang po: I'm interested in ordering some adult DVD's from those online dealers you mentioned, but am apprehensive about what showstopper said about customs seizures. My question is: has either of you had any of your orders seized? I'm just wary of shelling out the money only to have my order end up in the hands of some customs employee.

Your response(s) and any additional information you feel might be helpful will be greatly appreciated.

Salamat!

(1) Adultdvdtoday
Simply very fast delivery (4-6 days even from Hawaii!), cheapest shipping and good service. I also use the coupons on ADT for discounts.
Customer service is good too with a quick response time.

(2)Fivestardvd
Again fast delivery and reasonable shipping costs. Good customer service. Only second place because shipping costs are higher than adultdvdtoday and no discounts on larger orders (although you can choose free dvds from a given selection).

(3)Erodvd
Although dvd prices are higher than the USA based retailers they are probably the cheapest dvd retailers in Europe. Best of all shipping is free.
As they are based in Holland shipping is quick too. Customer service has been good for me too. Only down side is that being based in Holland means customs pay more attention to their mailings.

FAVOURITE STORE:

- Adult DVD Today

LAST ORDER: June 2004 ( from both )

AVG SHIPPING TIME:

- 7 days for Adult DVD today
- 10 days for erodvd.nl

COMMENTS:

Good and fast response from Adult DVD Today to a problem with my order (one of the DVDs sent was the wrong one - replaced free of charge). Went with them for US titles due to comments I read about speed of delivery and also because they stocked all the titles I was interested in at the time - mainly Anabolic.

I had to sign for part of my order from erodvdnl.com at the post office as it was sent registered mail ( possibly due to the size of the order ). A better search option on the website would be nice !

Since I moved to Australia last year I've still been ordering from Erodvd.nl (ten days delivery to Australia on average) also Orgazmik (a bit longer as they don't have all their DVDs in stock), Lasersedge (10 days) and Fivestar (5 to 10 days).

FAVOURITE STORE: R18 DVD Shop

LAST ORDER: September 2004

AVG SHIPPING TIME: next day - have ordered three times, the last time I ordered was at 4pm on a Friday and it was on my door mat at 8.15am the following morning which is pretty amazing I think

COMMENTS: Good points are the prices - all are £15 and that includes postage (postage is from within the uk). This is very favourable compared to most other UK suppliers and to most of the bigger Euro suppliers (its about $25 US). Titles are well packed in plain white jiffy bag with no identifying labels or marks. There is an accurate stock indicator and the titles must ship from stock to achieve the delivery times, they have live help on their site where the owner Jay (I think this is a one man band) is very helpful and responsive. The selection is good but not amazing if you like brit porn - about 120 titles on the store. Also has been getting great reviews at BGAFD (www.bgafd.co.uk) so its not just me who has experienced good service.

Bad points would be they only do R18 (as the name says) so some titles are cut versions and the selection is not as good as a lot of other suppliers tho my preference is British stuff so I think they are fine but some may find the range a bit restrictive - one other bad point might be using NoChex for payment processing as it sometimes can be unreliable sometimes (but not unsafe, payment just seems to be down occassionally) tho using them can also be good as it means no embarassing store names on my card bill for the missus to see :oD

CONTACT (optional): only seems to be one guy Jay - he is on live help most times, his email is sales@r18dvdshop.co.uk

Trial with Eurodvd:
Order: 3 DVDs
Easy payment with cc; rapid email confirmation; discrete package, no cases; standard EU first class post; 5 days to arrive; no customs or tax problems.
Expensive compared to US stores but would use again for items unavailable in US.

FAVOURITE STORE: www.erodvd.nl

LAST ORDER: October 2004

AVG SHIPPING TIME: A week very pleased

COMMENTS: Email and order confirmation were excellent. I ordered 4 dvds at around $30 US dollars. The only big problem that I had was they substituted a dvd without emailing and asking. Granted I liked the substitute, but still they should have emailed me and asked if it was ok. Shipping is free so thats good. They ship artwork in good shape. Prices for Euro Porn were good and cheaper on a whole then Orgazmik. Only big problem is alot of the dvds listed must not be in stock.

I will be trying Orgazmik in the near future

cheers,

Martin

Erodvd.nl has been named several times here. I think their website is just horrible. Java and Flash required. No lists available. And the best: no search available (??? at least I have not found it)
However - anyone in Germany has ordered from them?

[Link]

Favourite store: CyberDVDX

French based online store with plenty US-Titles plus a good Website with "Action-Pics".
But: Not cheap!

Shipping cost: 9,15 €

Another Store is Vidshop, a store based in the Netherlands

More Euro, less US - i love US-IR, so this Store is my second try.

Favourite Marketplace: Adult Xjuggler

Shipping Cost: 6,50 €/Seller

Till 2003 it was illegal to ship Hardcore-Vids or DVD's in Germany, so the customs at the Frankfurt Airport confiscated the parcels from the US-Stores.
You have to order outside Germany but within EU.

@Honeysucker: PM is on his way directly to your mailbox.

FIVE STAR DVD : Simply the best imo. Regular prices for new releases and frequent studio specials (hint : bookmark). Stock is usually up to date. Ships one, maximum two days after the order has been placed. Possiblity to chose from 2 Global Express options : with or without boxcase. Approx 7$. The 2nd solution (CD + plied boxcover) costs 1$ less and you gain one day of delivery. Handy if you want the DVD to slip into your door mailbox and don't want to go search it at the post-office if you're absent. Delivery is more or less 1 week either solution, fastest was 4 days (!!!). Never had a single problem with them, so I can't say if they respond promptly to e-mails. Highly recommended. Discreet packaging.

ADULT DVD EXPLORER : Occasional price cuts on Vivid recent releases, so I'm an occasional customer. Shipping more or less one week, delivery approx 2 weeks. Not the fastest but reasonable. Boxcase compulsory, but slips in mailbox if only one DVD. Approx 7 $. Occasional stock problems on specials. Often sends as stock arrives, even if you've specified otherwise.

ADULT VIDEO UNIVERSE : Perfect if you're into bundle shopping, since you can make one single order with their sister sites cduniverse (music) & videouniverse (PG & R). Not the biggest adult selection and rare specials, but incredible selection for their sister sites. Shipping 1 week, delivery 2 to 3 weeks. Patience is necessary. Reliable stock. Discreet packaging.

EXCALIBUR : Very wide selection of 80's unfindable titles. They hold exclusive rights on DVD transfers for some of those titles (CDI, Coast to Coast, Intropics...). The transfer is more than acceptable, don't expect fancy menus, it's just a transfer and serves its purpose. Those particular DVDs come with no boxcover, just the boxcase & CD, you'll have to print front & back cover from their website. Stock is unreliable. Prepare to be patient. One particular boxset took 2 months to ship (after 2 e-mails). Clumsy packaging, don't expect it to slip in your mailbox. Ships as stock arrives. Customer service professional (answers on the same day) but not very friendly. That's also the 1st time I've ordered from a site that requires you to send them an e-mail once you've received their shipping ! It remains to be seen if they've charged me shipping twice, but I have strong suspicions they will. Use only for those rare 80s titles. Doesn't ship VHS internationally. Videouniverse is much better for bundle shopping. Not recommended.

TOYBOXXX : Excellent choice of hard-to-find VHS. The selection is pretty much on par with Excalibur. Very fast service. Available status ships in 24 hrs max, delivery 10 days US -> France. It's my experience that bargain-priced 3$ VHS arrive in plain white boxes, while regular-priced VHS come in original box with boxcover art. Discreet, safe packaging. Responds to e-mail on the same day. Globally, excellent save for the impossibility to create a customer account. You'll have to re-type your details with each order. I've been chain-ordering 80's VHS from them for the last 4 months and haven't had a problem once.

Favourite Store: Adult DVD Explorer

Last Order: November 2004

Average Shipping Time: 2 weeks.

Comments: Shipping is always a standard 2 weeks (except for an order placed in early September 2001 when, for obvious reasons, delivery was delayed for a few months). The catalogue could be a bit larger, but it has the most popular titles. Discounts for multiple purchases are generous.

FAVOURITE STORE: Five Star
LAST ORDER: February 2005
AVG SHIPPING TIME: 10 days including weekends. Global Priority Letter. Discs and covers without cases. Discs individually placed in paper envelopes.
COMMENTS: Mostly good prices. Good service. In stock status indicator.
Backordered titles usually arrive within a week or so. With longer delays, titles already in stock are shipped by themselves without extra charge.
Excellent site with OK covers and a working wishlist.
Another plus is that there is an option to not have your CC info automatically stored and applied to future orders.

Info on other stores:

STORE: Orgazmik
LAST ORDER: March 2004
AVG SHIPPING TIME: 10 days including weekends. Cases included.
COMMENTS: Usually hideously expensive for US titles, but quite OK for European productions. Occasionally has a whole studio's range of titles on sale.
Usually emails $10 (approx) monthly vouchers to returning customers who subscribe to their infomail.
Good site with a few censored screenshots.
I find it a security issue that they always store your CC info and apply it automatically to future orders.

Previously also shopped at:
STORE: Laser's Edge
LAST ORDER: October 2004
AVG SHIPPING TIME: 20 days including weekends. $1.99 Adult shipping special. Cases included.
COMMENTS: Good prices. Good service. No in stock status.
When shipping without cases, they just chuck all the discs and artwork in a large padded envelope. Severe scratching is unavoidable.
As I prefer to not have the cases shipped to avoid discs coming loose in the box and getting scratched, I no longer use Laser's Edge.
I find it a security issue that they always store your CC info and apply it automatically to future orders.

Recently had to try out this store to get a title Five Star didn't carry:
STORE: Adult DVD Now
LAST ORDER: February 2005
AVG SHIPPING TIME: 20 days including weekends. Deutsche Post Airmail (free shipping special). Discs and covers without cases. Discs individually placed in paper envelopes.
COMMENTS: Good prices. In stock status indicator.
Again, I find it a security issue that they always store your CC info and apply it automatically to future orders.

COMMENTS: As mentioned before, we have a very restrictive porn policy in Germany. Therefore I have to order from within the European Union from the shops listed in this thread.
CD-WOW IS THE EXCEPTION to this rule.
It sends the DVDs safely via Sweden to Germany.
CD-WOW isn't an adult store. The adult section is very small. But you will hardly find the latest Wicked and Vivid Comps cheaper anywhere on the web since delivery is included in the ususal price of about 10 euro. The assortment changes very fast.
Here you can find the latest coupons.
