Adult DVDs from USA websites
Are these DVDS subject to Customs restrictions?
RE: Adult DVDs from USA websites
If the Adult DVDs don`t break the R-18 BBFC guidelines then it should be ok.
If you want a better chance try http://www.dv-depot.com as I believe they have a customs avoiding system

http://www.dvdboxoffice.com have just started an adult dvd section now , on guess..... http://www.adultdvdboxoffice.com
Here is a note on their first page of the adult website.
NEW!
Due to recent BBFC changes in the Guidelines for the classIfication of "R18" videos, Adult DVD Box Office will now ship Adult titles to the United Kingdom!
So can anyone shed light on the bbfc guidelines? all R18 titles ok?
RE: Adult DVDs from USA websites
I have ordered from this company based in Amsterdam a couple of times http://www.yourchoice.co.uk/
They do some US DVD`s and are all posted from within the UK.
I ordered 2 DVDs from them for a mate recently but when I checked my credit card bill I had not been charged £`s like the site said and ended up paying about £4 extra. They refused to refund the money and would only give me credit.
I ordered a VHS tape some years ago from them and sent a cheque and had no problems.

This link has details on how the BBFC won`t cut 18`s as much and how they will cut lower ratings more:

This is the link for BBFC guidelines

The use of any form of physical restraint which prevents participants from withdrawing consent, for example, ball gags
Penetration by any object likely to cause actual harm or associated with violence
Activity which is degrading or dehumanising (examples include the portrayal of bestiality, necrophilia, defecation, urolagnia)
.
The following content, subject to the above, may be permitted

RE: Adult DVDs from USA websites
Just for info...
I ordered some DVDs and a VHS casette from Vidshop.com (which seems to be related to completelyconfidential.co.uk) and only got the VHS cassette delivered. On the web site, there is some blurb about delivery guarantee, which I took to be a good thing. However, I emailed 3 times and phoned once (I actually phoned a number of times, but all but once I got a message saying that the voicemail was full) but got no response.
So, from my experience, I wouldn`t order from these people. I`ve been ripped off by about £90.
If they do turn up, I`ll gladly post another note here to let people know.
Let the board know how you get on with the supplier you chose.
RE: Adult DVDs from USA websites
Sorry to hear you may have been ripped off.
DVDexplorer.com seem to offer a good service but be careful when checking the shipping option.
They do try to upgrade to express for $30. USPS is $7
Play around with the URL if you cannot find the site it may be ExplorerDVD.com
Good Luck
