I've never ordered an adult DVD online (except for The Erotic Witch Project, if that counts...). I just tried to place an order for one at AdultDVDEmpire and the order was rejected with the statement that they can't ship to my "locality." What the hell?!?

I live in Atlanta, specifically in Fulton County. We have strip bars (full nudity), lingerie modeling studios, adult bookstores, etc. I could understand if I lived in Alabama (I did for a while--don't do it *shudder*) where you can't even purchase X-rated videos, but in Atlanta?

I found no mention of shipping restrictions on the ADE site. Can anyone--especially ADE itself--confirm this? Is there anyway around this? Are all adult DVD etailers limited by this inane restriction?

Help! Thanks!

DVDude,
There are certain locations throughout the United States that prohibit the sale of adult material - be it via the internet or otherwise. Strip bars are a completely different industry. Unfortunately, our hands are tied in these regions.

DVDDude!--

Go to the "store info" section of adultdvdtalk, and visit each retailer and see if they will ship to Atlanta. I'm positive you will find at least 2 or 3 that do. If they don't specifically say whether they do or not, e-mail them and ask and they will let you know either way. DVDAdvantage will do it, but check them out first, I have heard some bad things about them lately.
Good luck.

Having lived in Fulton County in the 90's, I remember regular obscenity busts of adult bookstores for videos and sex toys. It is interesting that they turn a blind eye to strip clubs, but the police and DA's there have no problem trying to keep the industry on the defensive there.

Thanks for the replies, folks, especially from ADE itself. I also received two replies to my one email to ADE. Very good customer service. One email did suggest using an alternate shipping address such as work. However, the nimrods in my company's shipping department would inevitably lose the package...

Thank you, AdultDVDEmpire. I really wish that I could place the order with you guys. As a result, I'm going to have to try another etailer. If and when I ever get out of the conservative South, I'll be sure to use you. :)

(Side note: FiveStarDVD also replied to my inquiry. Very pleasant and willing to help too. I think I can order from them.)
