Must give credit to Adult DVD Now on my order this week. Had it sent courier (UPS). It shipped Tuesday lunchtime, Pacific time, got it lunchtime today in the UK - i.e. less than two whole days. Tremendous, well worth the money ($17.99 for four discs, no boxes, very discreet package). Use this method for an four disc order around 100 bucks when ADN have a 15% off coupon on the go and the shipping is almost free! Almost. Slightly pricier than Laser's Edge on Evil Angel, but well worth ago IMHO.

Just placed my first order with these guys to test them out using the UPS shipping so fingers crossed everything will be fine.

They had Anal Trainer by Digital Sin which really swung it for me (been searching for that one for a while!)

Had the option to select a free disc but teh discs on offer were shite so passed the offer up!

will keep you posted.

Yeah, it's usually better to use the discount coupon than take the free disc (it's a choice of one or the other). It seems like you have to pay for the postage of the extra disc, which can knock you over into the next, higher shipping charge.

Give us your opinion on the service when the goods arrive, Snowden!

Thought i'd give AdultDVDnow a second go (especially seeing as they had a 15% off offer!)

Ordered Tuesday night (11pm uk time)
Wednesday night (by tracking i can see that its already arrived in the UK!)
Should be with me Thursday.


I've been faithful to Lasersedge (and they are excellent)but how can i resist when i'm offered 15% off my order and fast turn around time like that.

Sites should definately look at offering the buyers money off incentives.

That's the bit that usually causes any delay!
I agree! Money off coupons and repeat custom incentives, that sort of thing. It's a good point. These can sometimes pay your postage so it's worth taking them into account.

Has anyone tried their other shipping methods? I'm not too bothered by delivery times (although quick is good!), its 'Customs Navigation' that interests me

I hear what you're saying, Struan. I think I had one order from them sent by either Global Priority or the Deutsche Post (which is the service that Laser's Edge had some problems with, if I remember correctly), I can't remember which but it was quite discreetly packaged and had a conducive valuation! I've used the UPS service from them most often and consider it worth the extra.

Thanks for that Gabriel Nine.

Sorry to go OT, but I'm currently considering placing my very first adult DVD order, so while I'm a bit of a typical cautious newbie regarding Customs, I would also like to get the best value on anything I buy. Consequently, I would like to avoid large shipping costs if possible - I'm guessing it’s a case of achieving the best balance between these two requirements?

This is not meant as a criticism, but I have already looked through the other posts on this site, and, frankly, It’s almost a case of too much information being available!! I’m beginning to suffer from information overload (particularly about the different shipping methods).

Perhaps it would be worth doing a 'table' (or something similarly concise) showing all available shipping methods along with a corresponding comment/rating as to 'Customs Friendliness' ? Or am I worrying too much about Customs?

You're top recommendation (store and shipping method) for someone in my position would be?

TIA.

I have ordered both with Global Priority and the Deutsche Post(Free international shipping). Global Priority took 5 days and the other one 14-21 days to germany.
The package is discreet for both. Both had only private adresses on it. No declaration or value. Looks like a normal private mail-envelope. No customs problems yet.

It's a good idea for a new topic, Struan, though I feel that a lot of the info has already been covered a lot of times. I understand that you find it quite overwhelming!

Here are a couple of suggestions:

At present, I feel Adult DVD Today's Global Priority shipping has the best combination of cost, speed, discretion and being from a store with some reasonable prices and who are in the Kickback scheme and have money off vouchers. Stick to a smaller quantity as my last order from them did attract a customs charge due to them mistakenly putting too high a value on the declaration sticker (they have to do that now but will put a low enough value if you ask).

I've always found the Laser's Edge $1.99 special great value and has been by and large totally successful with no charges and no opened packages. If you're being frugal, that's the one. It does take time, but if you're not bothered...

But to keep myself on topic, if you're concerned about making sure you get the goods on a first order, the Adult DVD Now UPS service is very good, and as Snowden and I mention, you can use a coupon to keep the shipping cost down.
