A carrier service like FEDEX, DHL or UPS is able to clear the goods for import. I've never heard that a shipment by courier service was seized by german customs office. But several shipments by postal service were randomly seized in the past.

Since some of the retailers require credit card verification, we went with one that doesn't -- Five Star -- who I've dealt with in the past with no problems. However, I made a mistake with the shipment method and he may suffer for it here in Ireland -- we're not sure yet. The problem stems from the fact that he ordered EIGHT dvds for his first order (and got 2 freebies from their Treasure Chest) and when it got to the shipping option stage of the checkout process, I chose the FedEx International (Letter) option, forgetting about what was mentioned in this particular thread (and in possibly others) i...

- DVD Advantage question 12/1/2003 6:47 PM mania wrote: I bought 12 dvds from them this year. But they sent me them 10 days later. And they marked them as a software, only 20$. So my custom house checked them because its price looks so strange. Finally, I got a call from custom house that they shouldn't give me them back. I was very angry at that time. I told them about it, but it was useless. That's all. After that, one man in custom house asked me why you marked them as software. Who can't believe that 12 software costs only 20$? The same happened to my shipment from DVDAdvantage to Germany. I got a call from FedexShipping Department that German customs office had stopped the shipment because of wrong declaration and that custom office only will release the shipment with the righ...
- Passing german customs - Updates? 11/25/2003 4:58 PM You can order from companies that use courier service, but be aware that all those shipments have to pass customs and you will have to pay high customs duties addtional to the courier service fees. Sometimes you will get a bill from the courier service several month later. You can also order from adultdvdnow.
- Top Tips for International Shopping 11/25/2003 4:50 PM shenton wrote: Tip : If you need to track your packages, do not use FedEx International . Packages sent through FedEx International are not trackable and slower than DHL. Stores known to use FedEx International includes Five Star. FedEx is reliable and trackable, but my last order from Fivestar could not use FedEx shipment, because Fivestar does not offer FedEx shipment anymore (at least in Germany). Maybe Fivestar has trouble now with FedEx Company. The disadvantage of FedEx shipments is that all FedEx shipments have to pass customs, so you have to pay high customs duty additional to the FedEx fees.
- Order customs-safe to Germany ? 8/6/2003 4:43 PM Until now I had not read in the internet that shipments by a courier service had seizured by costums in germany. But I think you have only a 50/50 chance that a postal shipment with a regular customs declaration will pass customs. There are some other shops like Action-DVD (UPS), Lasersedge(DHL) and some more that will ship secure by courier service to Germany.
- First experience with ordering from FivestarDVD 3/15/2003 1:14 PM Let's say you order DVDs for a value for 100$. (say 1$ = 1 Euro). Then you will have to pay: 18$ FEDEX shipping (prepaid to Fivestar) and the following costs to FEDEX: 19$ Zoll und Einfuhrumsatzsteuer for the DVDs(19% of 100$) 7$ "Administration Fee" for FEDEX 8$ taxes for the value of the FEDEX shipping (even if you've paid 18$, the regular price for FEDEX shipping from the USA to Germany is about 50$, so you will have to pay 16% tax of 50$). Sometimes it will take a long time until FEDEX calculates the taxes but you will get a invoice from them. On the other side you can often use a 10% coupon if you order for $100 or more from fivestar, you can use additional 5% kickback rebates and FEDEX shipping prevents seizurements by...

- Anyone out there have GGG titles on DVD Ntsc? 3/14/2003 4:38 PM Many DVD-Players (I asked in a store) are able to play both, PAL and NTSC format. I've a DVD-player from THOMSON (DTH-4200) and one from PIONEER (DVD-350), they are both able to play PAL-DVD on PAL-TV, NTSC-DVD on NTSC-TV and NTSC-DVD on PAL-TV . The limitation is by the TV because they are not able to play PAL-DVD on NTSC-TV.
- custom problem/s? 3/14/2003 3:39 PM UPS, DHL and FEDEX deliver porno materials in time (3-5 business days). They are also able to pass customs in most countries and are the preferred delivery method for adult material in a large range of countries. If you call them and ask a official question they will negotiate it but in practice they are very good in delivery. But be aware that you will have to pay a high price and high taxes for their service. You will have to calculate what's cheaper for you: courier delivery and high prices or the cheap US postal service delivery and the risk of seizurements by custom agents.
- Teen Patrol #2 ....three questions. 3/11/2003 7:05 PM Are the US-Versions of Metro DVDs really censored ? In the last months I've seen a lot of Metro DVDs in adult stores in Germany, but all of them are original US Versions (NTSC-Format). The european versions of Metro titles (VHS tapes with PAL format) distributed from the Netherlands and in Germany are wellknown for bad quality and have almost disappeared in many stores. Some other companies (Hustler, Devils Film, Vivid, Legend and some others) have European PAL-Versions of their DVDs, but their quality is definitely inferior in comparison with the original US-Version. I wouldn't recommend to buy European Versions of US titles.

- A message to all producers and directors ......... 2/25/2003 2:09 PM @marduk The roughest and most violent SM scenes which I know are in french porno movies. Some french directors even use forbidden signs in their movies and print these forbidden signs provocative on the covers. And some directors abuse their models in real hard SM scenes. In US porno movies I haven't seen any real violence until now, and all action is only played by the actresses. So I think you are under a misapprehension, it's not an US problem, it's just a french problem.
