In the past, Vidshop have simply asked me whether I want to choose alternatives, if the ones I've ordered are backorders. Problem is, now I don't know which ones are in stock and which ones are backorders.

The only European company I've bought from is www.erodvd.nl, the advantage is that there are no duty or tax complcations if the company is located within the EU.

You can also order from companies in the States may be willing to help you avoid customs charges, or only order a low value (e.g. 1 or 2 discs at a time). Even with customs charges taken into account, it can still be cheaper to shop from the US than to pay the premium prices Vidshop look for.

I mean, I ordered "Cum Fart Cocktails" on Saturday and they dispatched it this morning. I expect it here on Wednesday because that's what the delivery time was in the past. If they have something in stock, they are very efficient and give great service. It's only when something is on backorder where you have to weeks (and that was only £13.95 + £1.00 s & h)
I never knew that titles which are R18 are cut. They are hardcore, after all....

As for Your Choice, they may have good rep and Jacco seems like a good bloke but they are just too pricy for me. Hopefully, Adult Universe will be back up soon. Anyway, I put erodvd.nl on my bookmark, anyway, so in the future I can try them.

I assume that they haven't charged my credit card for the other 4 which are on backorder and so I can always ask them to cancel them, if they say that it could take up to 8 weeks or something for delivery.

Ok, I just visited Your Choice and Evil Angel titles are £23.50, compared to £13.95 on Vidshop. Vidshop are actually the only company that sell EA titles cheap. As for JM, Your Choice charge £22.50 for most and they they have a much smaller selection. Vidshop have virtually all the American Bukkakes and so many others, like the Hellfire Sex series.

You should watch out for some of the Evil Angel and RLD titles at £13.95 - some of these are clearly the Dutch-made Shiva/Night Trips editions, without extras and in some cases without the 2nd disc where the movie is a 2-disc edition. The new US titles are £20.95 and £19.95 respectively, which can be had for the equivalent of £13.00 or less from US retailers. Some RLD can be found for the equivalent of a few quid, so I still find these prices high and misleading.

It's always a balancing act between price, speed and quality of service and in the past I always found you certainly get what you pay for from Your Choice. That said, for me they're too pricey and I prefer to order from the States.

Bear in mind when ordering from Erodvd.nl that customs may take an interest in your package - they are keen on peeking into post from the Netherlands for some inexplicable reason.

Good luck with your shopping and have fun!

As for Your Choice, I remember now that you have to type some kind of weird "bank code" in order to actually purchase anything. I don't know it and neither am I going to go through the hassle of finding out what it is.
Also, they charge £5.00 S & H!!!! That's INSANE!
Nah, they are simply too pricey and too picky.

As for erodvd.nl, I had a funny feeling that customs would inspect them because about 3 years ago, I ordered a film from a company called Leisure Time Europe or something, based in Holland. Never received the title and instead got a letter from HM Customs & Excise office in Kent saying that they've confiscated it because it contains "obscene material" (it was an enema vid i bought out of curiosity) and that was that.

Anyway, I'm going to a very good porn shop down Leicester Square tomorrow, as it's my day off. Normally they've got a good selection of Evil Angel titles and also GGG, among others.

So, when all is said and done, all I'm left with is Vidshop and Adult Universe (if it returns any time soon) I just don't want to buy from the US and pay customs charges, each time I buy more than one DVD.

About a month ago I went to Vidshop and tried to get American Bukkake 26 but JM was not listed on their website at all. I think they've just branched into JM very recently and they probably have not received most titles in their warehouse and I was abit unlucky to buy 3 JM titles at a time where they've just started to appear on their catalogue.

I could be wrong, of course.

Mind you, I've just noticed that they've added American Bukkake 30 as a "new release" Saying that, it doesn't look particularly impressive to me at all.
