A nice site. Limited choice. Expensive. But they have a European issue of a US title not yet available from the parent company.

Any previous experience?

What title are you after exactly ? I would think you can get it at a much lower price from another store in Europe. There are many good mail order outfits in The Netherlands, France, Denmark, Spain, Switzerland, Austria, etc....

I live in London and never do any business with those UK companies, way too expensive.... I'm getting all my stuff from the US or mainland Europe.

Depends on which title you are after.

Personally I prefer Erodvd.nl and Orgazmik but again depending on the title you want you might have to look at other options...

Does the "16" on the cover mean 16 year olds can watch it

Maybe an import from Denmark then...

Yes the '16' means it's for 16 year olds and over.

Unlike most countries, in the Netherlands if you can have sex at 16, you can legally watch hardcore porn at '16'.

That's also the case in Denmark I think and maybe in other liberal Northern European countries.

Is 'In The Days Of Whore' good then?

BTW, have you seen the directors cut version, and if so, is there much difference between it and the standard one? (I know Extreme have a bit of an 'economy of truth' reputation with directors cut advertising!)

TIA.

Hey,

How did you guys know what disc it was I was after? Anyway, after I looked like I had to be the guinea pig I took the plunge.

Ordered Wednesday evening, disc arrived Saturday. Needed to contact customer service at one point (personal issue)and got swift automated *and* personal replies. Very good service. Given their costs, I doubt I'll be using them again but on this initial experience, they seem very good.

As for the ...WHORE disc itself, it's a Dutch issue (with subtitles - ahh, the good old days!) on the Quest label and have just had a quick look. The transfer is great (Extreme take note!) and it appears to be the uncut version with the pissing scenes intact. So, even if EA get round to releasing this, you might prefer this version.

Am I right in thinking this movie has scenes depicting violent rape?
If so this could be an "ethical shopping" issue.

Whether to buy this or not could be an ethical issue. But then so could STRAW DOGS or THE ACCUSED.

I have wanted this title for a while now. This is great news!

Douglasb - can you just confirm for me the following:

1. that you are a UK resident.

2. what delivery method did you use? Standard Royal Mail or special courier (i.e. fedex etc)

3. What was the packaging like? (i.e discreet?)

I've had a quick read through the site and it does look good - if you enjoyed Days of whore - check out Bound by Blood (another extreme flick that they stock) which has a directors cut version similar to days of W.

try to reply back soon - i want those DVDs!!!

cheers

Snowdon - I am indeed a Brit. Disc was delivered by standard mail from within the UK. Standard cardboard mailer. No indication of contents / sender.

Hope this helps.

All

I have also taken the plunge and ordered this - after ordering I received an email stating:

All orders are despatched from the Netherlands and take up to 7 working
days to deliver from date of despatch from our warehouse.

This reply got me a bit worried - it made me think that it was being delivered from Amsterdam which is not good (customs/tax etc)! But Blissbox.com assure me that it will be posted from within the UK - phewww!

good fast replies from them too - now i just gotta wait to see if it turns up!

Yeah they take the "customs seizure risk" for you and you pay triple the price, that's the general idea

By the way UK and the Netherlands are both part of the European Union and you don't have to pay taxes (or custom duty) when ordering from another EU country.

Got my copy through the post this morning.

Excellent packaging. Fast e-mail replies. Posted from within the UK. Ordered monday - arrived thursday.

Yeah it does appear to be un-cut. For £27.45 its not too bad a price considering the DVD is not released in U.S and it means we can avoid any customs people.
