| Longbow Member Hong Kong 11 Posts 10/02 |  Posted - Oct 17 2002 : 2:07PMAll the retailers say ordinary airmail does not guarantee delivery as it may be lost in the post.I can see that while you can take a chance with one or two DVDs,delivering a large number via airmail may be too risky. Has anyone not come across lost shipment? Is it common? And as far as customs is concerned. what is safer--airmail or international express?  [Link] |
| Cheap_USA_DVD Deactivated User Munich 4 Posts 10/02 | Posted - Oct 17 2002 : 6:39PM My experience over the last 3 years is: 50 % will arrive without customs fee 20 % will arrive at your customs office office with 20 % customs fee 15 % is stolen on the post way and 15 % is confiscated by customs Irt would be better if you would try other ways of shipping !

| Longbow Member Hong Kong 11 Posts 10/02 | Posted - Oct 19 2002 : 5:09AM According to Cheap_USA_DVD ,15% is lost (presumably stolen)in the post, and another 15% is seized by customs(admittedly in Germany?). Ouch! That seems way too high , does it not? If that is true, I don't see how you can justify delivery by mail. More input on this from other people would be appreciated. [Link] |
| snowden porn Member London 648 Posts 11/01 | Posted - Oct 19 2002 : 9:27AM When I made my first order of porn from the US, I was always worried about whether it woudl turn up or not. Hell who can tell? I don't trust postmen and that package has got quite a distance to travel from USA and goes through a lot of people. I would advise you to just do a little order (say two dvd's at most) if it arrives then fair enough. If it doesn't arrive - then you just got teh answer to your question. I've had about 20 orders from USA to UK arrive perfectly. when teh first one does go missing (touch wood it doesn't) then I will rethink my shipping plans. But as you are in HK who know? just try it and see - if it fails try an express courier. [Link] |
| Fireyfox Member 233 Posts 4/02 | Posted - Oct 19 2002 : 10:39AM However I find that some US companies makes provisions for sending to the UK and automatically send the DVDs in paper sleeves without the plastic DVD casings and in a Global Priority Mail envelope. There is no extra charge for this and without wanting to tempt fate, I've yet to lose a order (about 6-7) when it has been sent this way. Not sure about Hong Kong though. You would have to enquire with them what posting options they can offer you besides ordinary airmail if you feel thats not safe enough. Are the customs there in Hong Kong very strict? I do remember visiting Hong Kong a few years ago and while there were plenty of softcore porn availible especially on VCD, I couldn't find any hardcore stuff on sale. Is it illegal there? [Link] |

| Longbow Member Hong Kong 11 Posts 10/02 | Posted - Oct 20 2002 : 1:50PM Yes,hardcore is illegal here. We have a puritant attitude towards sex. Sad but true. [Link] |

| Joey Starr Senior Member Still wanking after all these years. 8082 Posts 10/00 | Posted - Oct 22 2002 : 12:41PM If a title is back ordered it can take more than four weeks, even for the UK, delivery time have been from about two weeks (item in stock) to more than eight weeks (worst case scenario, back order that take a long time to get back in stock). If in doubt just E-mail them and ask... [Link] |
