i made another purchase on Laseres edege

it was a rld movie

it took only 15 days (between monday sept 29 and monday oct 13 ) with 1.99 $ special shipment for paris,France

there was the hard box in a Bubble -lite enveloppe (stamped in ...zurich !!)

it just can't be better !!

lasers edge seems to be a very serious company

in my first purchase i received nothing i emailed marc and 4 days later i got my package

i have a theory on this lost

when lasers don't know you (on your first purchase for example)and if your billing adress is not the same as your shipping adress i think lasers edge believe it is a joke and they are afraid of the chargebacks so they ship nothing

so everything must be okay and when they know you (wooow !!!)they are a great company

i recommend lasersE to all european buyers

but we have to prey for the dollar-euro parity stay at the same level: 20.94 $ in france it is nothing !!

see you

Oh yeah, they are one of the reliable stores for international customers. Quick replies in email too!

Let's keep buying from Laser's Edge to keep them in business. Can't afford to lose this wonderful store.

Billy, I know you're only suggesting this as a theory , but as far as I am aware there's absolutely no evidence to back it up nor to doubt Laser's Edge's integrity in this way.

Speaking from experience I can tell you that is not the case. My shipping address is different than my billing one, and I've never had a problem.

the evidence is : where is my first package ??

i have to say that in a first time i put the same billing and shipping adress whereas in reality they are different

perhaps it is the detail which mislead laseresedge and make them no trustful

but i am pretty sure they post nothing

a postal package is NEVER lost it is just LATE

see you

You have got to be kidding. No one can stay in business long if they're that plain nuts. Laser's Edge has been in business for quite a while, so I think they're way beyond that.

Um, NO.

I've had quite a few packages go missing over the years, probably 5-10, and I know for a fact that they were sent, too. Packages can easily get lost or stolen, especially in the International Mail systems.

Some were sent 2+ years ago, that seems pretty late to me. I'm not expecting them to arrive anytime soon, either...

I appreciate your "theory" but it is simply incorrect. As I explained to you at the time you reported the missing package, this sometimes happens. Sometimes packages go missing due to a number of reasons. Postal theft being the main one, postal damage/disposal, mis-sort which leads to theft, etc. Your package that went missing has nothing to do with you difference in address. We check that with the issuing bank before we even process the charge. We ship to international customers every day that have different billing addresses and shipping addresses. To say that "a postal package is NEVER lost it is just LATE
" is simply ridiculous. As most here can support, packages do go missing. I have had DHL packages turn up missing, and they are trackable and insured. Packages do and will be LOST, it is a fact of using the postal service.

This statement is wrong and I don't appreciate the speculation that we would charge you for a package and not send it because we don't know who you are. We haven't been in business for over 17 years with policies like that. If we don't know you and don't believe you are who you say, we simply put the order in VERIFICATION HOLD and request further proof of your card holder status/information. Please do not bring the character of our company into question with your "theory".

Billy244, I realize you intended to post praise for us and I do appriciate that. I am not trying to come down on you, I just wanted to set the record straight as to our company policies. I am glad that my resolution to your problem satisfied your buying experience with our company.

Also I thank the many of you that posted in our defense.

Gabriel Nine, thanks for bringing the discussion to my attention. I have been swamped since returning from vacation and haven't had a chance to catch up on the forum yet.

ok marc for your answer

my post was intended to have overreaction and open the debate

in France mail package are "sacred" and i would never understand why a postal parcel doesn't come to me

the first victim is laseredge because he send me the same product twice and it's quite embarrassing for me

in France postal thief is severely prosecuted

15 days ago there were many package missing in a France area
La Poste investigated and discovered an unscrupulous employee who keep the package for himself

he's in jail !

that's why i think there is a serious problem
postal parcel just don't fall down in the sea !

but i keep all my trust to laseresedge

they are the best !!

see you

I used LasersEdge for my first ever order of an adult dvd and got stung with customs to the tune of 12 Irish Pounds after ordering 2 dvd's.

I had asked over the phone for the package to be customs friendly and was told it would be, it turned up by DHL and full price of dvds were on package.

I wasnt told on delivery that I owed money in customs charges and ended up having a dept collection company chasing me about monies owed. I didnt know anything about it and dhl never wrote to me. It caused almost 1 year of problems for me

I would love to order again but this has sadly coloured my view on the whole internet buying dvd thing

Neonitrix, I've used Laser's Edge on numerous occasions here to Ireland and I've always used the cheapest option on postage without any problems. Because the sell noral dvds as well as adult, Customs are less likely to check packages from them (although that's not quite a given, I suppose) as they are from online retailers that only do adult titles.

I'm not sure why you got screwed by have it shipped DHL, but last year or so, the government here outsourced the (heavier) parcel post to a private company and they seem to be screwing people for "hidden" charges, etc. Maybe the courier companies come under the same banner. Are you certain that it was Irish Customs who were looking for the extra "fees"?

yes it was irish customs (import tax thingy) & dhl's administration fee added on.

What pissed me off more was that it was my first order I had rang lasersedge and told them I didnt understand everything as I had never bought online b4. & the person I was speaking to said dont worry that they will make the package customs friendly.

So I took that on face value, that why all the hassle will the dept collection agency months after I received my order fazed me so much.

Neonitrix,

In my opinionjust try a standard shipping method with Laser's Edge (or any other retailer) for any subsequent orders. If you check earlier threads concerning Irish Customs, you'll see that you were lucky to get your order at all, as they probably didn't realise it was porn in the package. Others I would personally recommend to try are EroDVD in Holland, Five Star DVD, Adult DVD Now, Adult DVD Empire and Bargain Adult DVD. I've gotten stuff from all of them in the past with no major problems. Many others here would highly recommend most of them. Check them out for prices and titles for yourself and good hunting.


Good to have more Irish members here on the boards!!

Speaking of Laser's Edge, how come they just vanished from the price searches?

hmm they're also gone from the "Where to Shop" link on the left hand side, so I'd assume that they've stopped sponsoring ADT for the time being.

cheers,

That's too bad because they're really the best online store out there IMHO.

Just did a price search and could see Laser's Edge.

But they seem to be missing from the 'Where to Shop' page, both the 'logo' links and 'Quick links for shopping' links.
