| timotei Member UK 271 Posts 4/02 |  Posted - Jan 22 2003 : 10:16AMAnyone been having slow delivery times to the UK over the last week or so?? I've got one order with Lasers Edge (in the US) and one from XoDVD (ship from Netherlands) that were both shipped last Thursday 16th and neither have arrived at my house (Brighton England). Usually Lasers Edge deliveries take around 3-4 days to get here, so this is dragging on a bit... [Link] |

| timotei Member UK 271 Posts 4/02 | Posted - Jan 22 2003 : 4:48PM Waiting for the XoDVD package as well. They shipped it 12 hours after I placed the order, which was impressive. Shame the postal system has taken nearly a week to get it from Netherlands to here... [Link] |
| Rumplestilt Skin Deactivated User 931 Posts 7/02 | Posted - Jan 22 2003 : 5:18PM It's been nearly five weeks. Can't mention the company, but they've always been good to me in the past. Oh, okay, then Excalibur. [Link] |
| Gabriel Nine Senior Member Firecracker 1273 Posts 8/01 | Posted - Jan 23 2003 : 7:30AM This happens with couriers like Fed Ex and UPS too - when I check the tracking, I usually see they got the package thousands of miles from the US to the UK in hours, and then it takes 2 days to get it 300 miles to my house.

| jibstar Deactivated User 132 Posts 9/02 | Posted - Jan 27 2003 : 10:51AM I ordered two from Lasersedge, they were both shipped on the 16th of Jan and they still haven't come yet! [Link] |

| timotei Member UK 271 Posts 4/02 | Posted - Jan 29 2003 : 11:40AM Interestingly, there was also a Frankfurt,Germany marking on the jiffy bag. Is this because US-to-Europe post flies into Germany first, then out to the final destination? The other package, from XoDVD in the Netherlands, was postmarked 16th Jan and arrived at my house on 25th Jan, which is quite suprisingly long, as packages from EroDVD in the Netherlands don't usually take that long. Obviously these delivery times are not a reflection of the companies that sent the packages. [Link] |

| Gabriel Nine Senior Member Firecracker 1273 Posts 8/01 | Posted - Jan 29 2003 : 7:10PM Re: mail via Frankfurt, all air mail deliveries from Laser's Edge have been like this for a while - I also had some CDs from the US Amazon that had the same sticker. I guess bulk shipment of mail to Frankfurt and then sorting and delivery within Europe is a cheaper way of sending it, rather than sorting for numerous e.g. UK destinations and sending out numerous transatlantic flights.

| Lightrider Member Germany 28 Posts 1/03 | Posted - Jan 29 2003 : 7:36PM There is a high risk that shipments of adult material is seized in Frankfurt. There are several members in this forum whose shipments (not only from lasersedge also fivestar, excalibur and so on) were also seized in Frankfurt. So I can't understand why lasersedge should ship via Frankfurt to UK. The cheapest shipping method is senseless when the method itself doesn't work relieably. [Link] |
| charlie Member uk 450 Posts 4/00 | Posted - Jan 30 2003 : 4:55AM I think the only seizures at Frankfurt were packages destined for German addresses. I can't see them having any authority to inspect mail destined for another country such as the UK. I have never heard of an order destined for the UK being seized at Frankfurt. [Link] |
| Gabriel Nine Senior Member Firecracker 1273 Posts 8/01 | Posted - Jan 30 2003 : 9:13AM Touch wood, I've never had a package from the US sent like this even opened, never mind seized, by UK customs. This method makes perfect sense - Laser's Edge don't choose to ship via Frankfurt, it's down to the USPS. I've had some shipments come via Copenhagen from other vendors too. [Link] |

| bobgustav Member Denmark 20 Posts 12/02 | Posted - Jan 30 2003 : 3:11PM The postal service does open them sometimes. These are even marked with an R, which I guess is R as in R-rated content. As I remember these were stamped in the Netherlands. Maybe thats why they go to Frankfurt now. Today I received a package from www.futureent.com It is UK based and send anywhere free of charge. The package was sent from North America and took 20 days! The original order was 2 items. The first only took 6-7 days. So I guess it can vary considerably [Link] |
