Hi everybody,

since paraglider told about his past experiences with customs and packages from EroDVD I thought I'd mention their new packaging.

About a week ago I received my order and was astonished to see that this time they hadn't sent the normal package including the DVD-boxes but a small Jiffy-bag. I thought "Wow, the content doesn't even feel like DVDs." :)

And I noticed why:

When I opened the Jiffy-bag I found another securely-closed envelope in it.

When I opened this enevelope, what did I find ?

Another envelope (effectively a piece of paper wrapped around the DVDs) which again was very tight and securely closed.

When I opened this one, what do you think I found ?

Another envelope ?
...
...
Hell, no! You didn't think this would go on forever, did you ?

This time the DVDs were inside including the cover art.
Another remarkable thing is that the covers of titles which might include problematic scenes (pissing, fisting, etc.), e.g. GGG-DVDs were turned around, so you didn't see the cover at the first glance but only the white unprinted side.

Although I don't know if all the measurements (e.g. turning over the covers) prevent customs from taking a closer look, I was very astonished to see what great lengths EroDVD are actually going now, when it comes to custom-secure packaging.

I emailed Aline and asked her about it, and she said that they had some problems with customs lately, so they started sending the discs this way.

Thumbs up for EroDVD (again).

Here in Germany I've never had any problems with their packages, but I guess you people in UK and other places might find this new packaging interesting and maybe want to try them.

Greetings,

Spesedy

Thanks for the heads up Spesedy.

The chances of packages being intercepted in the UK would be reduced further if a printed address label was used instead of a hand written one. Do they still use this method?

My last order, about a month or so ago was still hand written and Customs can spot them a mile away. I was hoping to place another order soon but don't like to hear that their packages are being targeted.

It would be worth while erodvd giving printed address labels a try just to see if the success rate increases. This must be cheaper than to have packages confiscated and then replacing them.

Hi DVD Friends,

At first many thanks to Spesedy for writing
at this forum about our new packaging.
Then Charlie please try us again because
we did also change our address labels.
They are printed now.
If there still are changes to be made please let me know.
Every customer can choose now how he/she prefer the packages
must be packed.

Kind regards,

Aline

Thanks Aline for clarifying the situation.

You are still the top retailer in Europe. I have not ordered recently because I am just been too busy. Not enough hours in the day at the moment. Rest assured it's nothing you have done.
