Unfortunately Lasersedge.com closed it's doors for the last time today ,one of the best sites out there for a combination of excellent customer service and good value,certainly for some of us british purchasers.I would like to say thanks to all the staff for the many years of excellent service and wish them all the very best for the future.

Well said ukbadboy.
A VERY sad day indeed. I was shocked to see this. Lasersedge have been my main supplier this year more than ever.
I don't really know of any other supplier who offers the range, and excellent value both of titles and shipping costs (not to mention the good customer service).
They will be missed. Especially by me. :(

Dan....Adultdvdpacific work out at roughly the same prices but don't unfortunately quite have the same range at the moment and could do with getting titles listed on the site a lot lot faster but you could use them for some titles maybe,customer service is excellent also,might be of some use to you.

Cheers mate.
I already use Pacific for main stream DVDs. Always found them excellent.
However the adult side leaves alot to be desired. They seem to me to only stock older stuff and some of the bigger name titles.
Looking through previous threads here I came accross AdultDVD69.
Prices look reasonable, and shipping costs look not bad....
I'm just wondering if I should put in a big order and hope it gets past customs?!

I'd recommend adultdvd69, though I've never ordered more than 3 discs from them at a time. Have got an order on the way from them at the moment.

Worth a try putting a big order in but,in my experience,although they were under the £18 limit,to the best of my knowledge,virtually all of my packages(although not opened)seem to have a customs cleared stamp on just lately gaining the tax on packages is one thing i do believe customs have gotten a lot more efficient on in recent times.

Efficent.....that's what I'm afraid of!
If adultdvd69 mark packages down I might be okay. But to be honest it might just be worth taking the hit (including the Royal Mail £8 handling charge!).
Thanks for the personal recommendation Rollo. Good to know they are still an okay supplier.

That's really bad news... I read on a French forum that FivestarDVD were closing as well, is that true?

In my experience they indicate a low value Dan. Cheers.
Does anyone know why lasersedge closed down as a matter of interest?

The notice on their website says that due to the competitive market it's no longer profitable to continue in business.
Very sad to see such a friendly and efficient company have to shut its doors.

I missed this thread earlier - very sorry to hear that. Marc from Laser's Edge used to post here sometimes and they were always very helpful, and their $1.99 shipping special was a great deal. I used them for mainstream and adult titles and they were always really good folks to deal with. Very sorry to see them go.
@Dan39: Dan, as you may see elsewhere, I'd recommend XRent. Very reliable, good prices, sales and specials and good, professional customer service, though I am bound to say not the same level of personal attention that you got from Laser's Edge.

Too bad they didn't give us like a month notice so we could buy a lot of titles before they closed. I was planning to buy a lot from them like mainstream titles.

I haven't used Lasers Edge for some time because of their inability to indicate stock statuses; that said, the consumer is poorer for their (and Five Star's) demise.

Damn, very sad. I used to order from LE quite a bit, especially when I used to buy R1 dvds.
What happened to FiveStarDVD?

There's a thread about fivestar in the other shopping bit scipio. Looks like fivestar had some type of legal problems.

FiveStar was prosecuted for obscenity, specifically JM Productions movies. JM got off on a technicality and left FiveStar out to dry.

It was a while since I ordered any movies now, so it was a shock to see the notice on their website... but the climate for adult material isn't very favourable it seem...
