Living in the U.K., I've brought Dvds several times from the U.S. from stores like Adult DVD Now without any problems. I just wanted to know if it is more of a risk if I decided to import from Europe as from what I hear people here seem to have many packages from Europe stopped by Customs? Its as if any packages with a Dutch postmark seem to be more of a target.

Opinions please?

I buy mainly from France, Denmark and occasionally Spain. I've never had anything opened by customs in the two years I've been buying.

Athos, I have just been catching up on other threads which suggest possible problems with customs checking anything with Dutch post marks! Prehaps you could share with us some of the site addresses of those sites in France, Denmark and Spain that you have had success with.

These are the european online retailers I have used:

Spain:
Dvdgo
Mainstream with adult section. Average price 24 Euros (£15.60), site in english. All orders are courier delivered, priced by weight eg 4 dvds 11.72 Euros(£7.60). Anywhere in EU takes 24-48 hours.

Denmark:
Dvdoo
Mainstream with adult section. Average price around 200 Kronor (£17.43) but free delivery to UK. Site in danish, can be tricky but largely common sense.

Danishsoftwareimport
May be worth checking out. Specialist adult supplier, seems to have got quite expensive in recent times. Flat rate postage, £4.20 to UK.

France:
Adultedvdx
Specialist adult supplier. Average price around 30 Euros (£19.50) but they usually have an offer to include a decent DVD for free if you buy 3. Flat rate courier delivery takes 3 days and costs 21 Euros (£13.63).

I hope this is helpful, please note I have never had any problems so I cannot speak for their customer services.

It all depends why you are afraid of customs.

If you are afraid to pay duty, you risk much more ordering several DVDs from the US (duty is theroretically applicable over £18 value) than from the European Union (no duty no matter how large your order is).

If you are afraid of having controversial material seized (pissing, fisting, scat, etc...) you are risking more from Europe because it is where this kind of material comes from!

Ordering "straight" adult DVDs (other than the "dodgy" categories) is permitted and even if a package from the Netherlands is opened, if the material is straight they have to forward it to you.

My advice : order where you wish depending on the studio and prices, sometimes from US, sometimes from Europe. Use Dutch stores as well but not for controversial material.
