| Rollo Member 22 Posts 12/07 |  Posted - Dec 16 2007 : 2:07PMHi - further to reading post from someone in UK who posted in May re customs opening their packages. Has anyone from UK had any experience with this type of thing happening recently? Cheers. [Link] |

| Rollo Member 22 Posts 12/07 | Posted - Dec 18 2007 : 1:45AM In case you're interested I've ordered quite a bit previously from Adultdvdtoday who have always provided an excellent service. Never any problems. I haven't ordered for over a year now though and after scanning topics posted over that period I was beginning to wonder whether UK customs had decided to clampdown on US mail for porn, or whether these were temporary blips. Sir Wankalot (major US buyer) had what looks like his first delivery opened this year; someone else another in May; someone else Moviesbymail order opened this year. Can't remember seeing posts re opened US mail in previous years..... Anyway, I've got 5 orders on the way from different suppliers at the mo so, not with XMas withstanding, I'll update with results in due course. [Link] |

| Rollo Member 22 Posts 12/07 | Posted - Dec 20 2007 : 2:55AM I went through the Christmas argy bargy last year waiting absolutely ages for Xmas orders to turn up. Maybe that's why I haven't ordered for the last year or so?[Link] |

| Rollo Member 22 Posts 12/07 | Posted - Dec 20 2007 : 9:15AM First order came through today from adultdvdnow  Another reliable supplier in my experience, albeit a bit limited as I've only ever placed about 5 orders with them. Cheers to adultdvdnow anyway if they read these pages.[Link] |

| Gabriel Nine Senior Member Firecracker 1273 Posts 8/01 | Posted - Dec 26 2007 : 11:07AM I did receive my order OK, in great time too, not interfered with in any way, which is more than can be said for the participants of the movies contained therein! Basically, apart from 1 lost order a few years back (which the merchant concerned replaced, even though against their general policy) I have had no problems with items sent via Global Priority, either through loss or customs interference. In actual fact, the only items I've ever had opened up (and I think this is a common experience) were those from Erodvd in the Netherlands. I don't order from them any more. I think Jacco is spot on there - most of the real problem is in the UK. And not just with Customs either. I've had stuff sent Special Delivery in the UK which has disappeared without trace, and that's meant to be a next-day, trackable, signed-for service. On courier orders, I've had items take 1 day to cross the entire USA and Atlantic Ocean, only to take 3 days to make it to my home from a depot 30 miles away. I've even had delivery drivers leave expensive electrical hardware in my front porch in full view of the street and make out like someone signed for it. Oh, did we hit a raw nerve there? Think so! Anyway, merry Christmas all and hope you enjoy your movies. Edited by - Gabriel Nine on 12/26/2007 11:08:26 AM [Link] |

| BEP BuyEuroPorn Prague, Czech Republic 46 Posts 4/04 | Posted - Dec 27 2007 : 2:13PM I want to say also that UK customs check all big parcel and confiscate indecent or obscene goods, alcohol, tobacco, medicaments, narcotics, but almost do not check small letters... [Link] |
