I can suggest you try AdultDVDToday.com. They are very fast, very reliable, very friendly and their prices are excellent. They have discount coupons and they pay Kickback rebates.

I have ordered ten times from them in the past three month for a total of more then 1200 USD. The shipment arrives within one week usually. Shipping is very discreet (important for customs in Germany). The shipping charges are low (5 USD for up to 5 DVDs or 10 USD for up to 10 DVDs). With the use of their coupons you actually do not pay the shipment at all and still get a discount on the total. In addition you get 5% of Kickback credits if you buy through AdultDVDTalk.

I have also ordered through Lasersedge but the shipment was intercepted by customs two times. I guess the reason is the packaging.

I ordered from FivStarDVD only once with FedEx shipment which is very fast and reliable but expensive as they will charge import taxes on the value specified by the shipper.

Trust me, AdultDVDToday.com is best!

You should also check out DVDDiscount.tv based in the Netherlands which has only a limited selection but has RLD and GGG for good prices with good a quick shipping and no risk whatsoever for custom problems due to shipment from the EU.

Greetings and have fun with your credit card.

I will stick to AdultDVDToday as my second choice ;-) Their prices are very nice - but they are comparable with fivestar. But I have to admit I haven't tried the coupon thing so far. The only thing I didn't like at AdultDVDToday is, that their product range isn't really that big. It's ok, but especially when it comes to smaller labels there are some deficites.

And regarding fivestardvd.com - they don't offer that FedEx option anymore. they now offer this one, which sounds pretty good, in my opinion:

---

Global Priority Letter
6-10 days
$5.00 Per Order
$1.50 Each Item
Priority Envelope

Available for all-DVD orders only. Not available for orders containing DVD Box Sets, Toys, or VHS.

Artwork and DVDs are shipped in a Priority Envelope.

DVD cases are not shipped.

---

But I would like to know if anyone tried this before for Germany. So any experiences with FiveStar's new shipping option?

[Link]

I mean, is it possible that I still have to pay any import taxes - or is the package treated like a normal letter then?

[Link]

the envelope will still carry a customs declaration. The actual declaration of the content and the value may vary from company to company. I believe that this makes the difference really. The shipper's address on the envelope is also important. I believe that Lasersedge is somehow on the radar of the German customs. This is why their shipment has been intercepted twice, I believe. If the online shop puts the correct value on the customs declaration you will surely end up paying the import tax and might not get the shipment at all because it is porn. AdultDVDToday handles this quite nicely. They use the same shipping method as FiveStarDVD though so your choice may actually be OK. However, FiveStar charges more as you have to pay for each item which is not the case for AdultDVDToday. I wish you luck and please report about your experience. Nothing is more frustrating than having a package stolen by customs so they can wank happily during their coffee breaks!

But when the order still has the customs sticker... I'm wondering why they don't check it at customs? Because the people there are that stupid and think "oh, it's a thin envelope only, this can't contain porn"?? *lol*

Anywayz, when I ordered at one of those 2 companies (and AdultDVDNow could also be worth a try) I will post my experiences in here for sure.

Is it a similar system in Germany ?

[Link]

If you order from the States or outside the EU, it's more of a risk. BUT if you can, ask your seller to tick the "gift" box on the green customs slip. That way, customs are much more likely to let it pass unopened, whereas if the "merchandise" or "sample" box is ticked, it is likely to be opened.

PS: I placed an order at cduniverse.com before(they also have an adult department), no adult stuff but that doesn't matter for this issue - and they, for example, only printed the price of the CD on the sticker, without shipping costs. Saved me a lot of money!

[Link]

I've ordered about ten times from them now and one DVD got lost. (strange: I received the envelope - but there was included the delivery-note only, no DVD. On the envelope there was a stamp "checked by customs" or something like that.) They ship only one DVD in every enevlope. This makes big orders a bit difficult.
Their prices are very fair IMHO. Compared to the prices in German stores really cheap. The costs of shipping are included, and remember it's canadian dollars!

The only problem with the website is, the covers of the DVDs are much too small. You can't see anything. But that's not really a prob. ;-)

And that was a damn good decision! I ordered on Thursday, the 8th of Juanuary, late in the evening! Order processing took one hour, and the order was shipped another 2 hours later. 3 hours from ordering to shipping is very fast imo!! So it was shipped Friday night at 3am (German time) - and it arrived today!! So, 8 days with a weekend in between is pretty nice - especially with damn slow "Deutsche Post"

The DVD's are free of any scratches or other damages, the covers are folded very nice - you don't see that they were folded if you put them into a DVD case! And btw - as some people say they don't like it when DVD's are shipped without cases... Well, I bought some cases for something like 40 Euro Cent for one case - and now I have Original Amaray cases for my precious porn DVD's, not those cheap ass crap cases most porn studios use

So, the only thing I can say - if you're from Germany and you want to order Adult DVD's from the US, give AdultDVDToday a try. They have a very nice style of packing which doesn't arise the attention of customs, they are fast, pretty cheap - and they have a very fast & friendly customer service aswell (tested it and Greg from ADToday answered very fast).

I will surely order from them again - PROPS to AdultDVDToday

Oh, and thanxxx to brasilfan for your help. Sorry if I was standing on your nerves a little bit, but I was really unsure, cause I had pretty bad experiences with other companies and confiscated orders before.

The thing to remember is that Adult DVD Today are in Hawaii, (I think 10 hours behind GMT) so you can order in the evening (in Western Europe) while they're at work in Hawaii, so you can have an in-stock order processed and shipped same day, with luck!

[Link]

Sorry, I was wrong - I bought them for 55 cent at musictools.de - not for 40 cent! Bought some other stuff there aswell, so I got mixed up a little with the prices

I received an order again today - so I want to keep all fellow German Adult DVD Buyers up to date

This time I ordered 2 DVD's at adultdvdnow - my first order with them. Their product range maybe is not that great, but if you want to buy a certain DVD, perhaps from smaller labels even - always have a look if you can get it at adnow! You can find some real bargains there. 24.90$ for 2 DVD's incl. shipping is very very nice imo

Anyways, the order was placed on Thursday, 10.02.04 afternoon CET, when they were asleep. It got approved very fast and was shipped 3am at night CET (so already Wednesday, the 11th) - so everything was really fast!

Well, I received my order today - so it took 18 days excluding weekends, 24 days incl. weekends, which is pretty long. On the other hand - I chose the free shipping option, so it's worth the waiting But, I don't know why normal air mail always takes THAT long to Germany, it's not adultdvdnow's fault for sure, cause I had experiences like that with other (non adult) stuff from the US before.

The Packing: Unbelievable! You can't go wrong with adnow, when you live in Germany. Their packing is very very good, it even got me fooled - you don't realize that there are DVD's inside, customs declaration is also very nice. DVD's came in those paper sleeve, so they are free of scratches - and the covers are not folded at all.

So, I can definitely recommend adultdvdnow - and if you want to receive your goods faster, there are also some other shipping options which aren't too expensive either!
