I'm looking to buy the "Virtual Sex with Alicia Rhodes" DVD online but the only place I can find selling it is the Dutch PleasurePlaza online shop. They only ship from Holland which is a problem as I'm based in Dublin and packages from Holland get a lot of attention in our customs.
On the other hand I've bought DVDs from a variety of shops who ship from the UK (or somewhere in mainland Europe that hasn't got Holland's rep) and never had a problem.
Anyone know of a UK-based online shop where I can get a copy?
Cheers

Re: Virtual Sex w/ Alicia - available in UK?
Dutch Online shops like www.adultmediashop.nl, www.pleasureplaza.nl actually sent their packages from Holland to Germany where the German Mail Service does the stamping and then ships abroad. Only Dutch customers do get their orders directly from Dutch Mail Service.

Re: Virtual Sex w/ Alicia - available in UK?
As stated on their websites. Don't know if this applies to Ireland also.
The most important:
"It is legal for UK individuals to buy hardcore adult videos and DVDs from overseas Web sites for personal use as long as the films feature sexual activity between consenting adults"
Here's the low-down on buying adult videos and DVDs on the Internet.
Adult Videos & DVDs and UK Law
What is the 18 Certificate?
18-certificate films can be sold by any UK shop, mail order catalogue or Web site. 18 films do not feature graphic depictions of sexual activity - softcore porn to you and me.
We supply only hardcore Videos & DVDs. These are not to be confused with 18 certificate Films which are softcore. Most sites selling Adult Films Online sell mainly 18 certificate and occasionally some Hardcore. To eliminate any confusion WE ONLY SELL HARDCORE FILMS
What is the Restricted 18 - R18 - Certificate?
In August 2000 the law was changed to allow films featuring graphic depiction of sexual activity between consenting adults to be sold in the UK - hardcore porn to you and me. These films have an R18 - Restricted 18 - certificate.
What are the restrictions on R18 films?
They have to be bought from a licensed shop and cannot be sold via mail order. Web sites cannot have a license to supply R18 films within the UK, even if the company that owns the site runs a licensed sex shop. If a UK-based Web site sells R18 films for delivery in the UK it is breaking the law.
Why do they have these rules?
The BBFC's primary concern is to protect children, so it does whatever it can to prevent hardcore films being accessible to children. Clearly, it's easier for youngsters to buy films over the Web with dad's credit card, than it is to saunter into a licensed sex shop.
Can I import hardcore sex films from abroad?
Yes you can, with certain limits. Even though UK-based companies aren't allowed to sell R18 films over the Web, foreign companies are allowed to send hardcore films to private individuals in the UK for personal use.
Can any type of film be imported?
No. Customs and Excise will only allow material featuring sexual activity between consenting adults. Films featuring rape, violence, mutilation, sadomasochism, urination, scatology, bestiality or animal cruelty would be liable for forfeiture. Its priority is in tackling paedophilia and material involving children.
Can Customs seize films?
Yes. It Customs has the power to search goods arriving in the UK and often does. 6,000 indecent items were seized in the 2000/2001 financial year. Customs is not interested in films showing sexual acts between consenting adults -- films won't be seized if they don't contained prohibited material listed above.

Re: Virtual Sex w/ Alicia - available in UK?
I'm sorry guys,
I have to correct my previous post. The "German" situation is no longer valid.
The info on which I based it on was from a couple of months ago.
From what they've been telling me today, nowadays all UK packages are sent in big UK Mail Post Bags with Priority Service directly to the UK.
Good thing: Less packages are seized by UK customs than before.
Another Good Thing: Priority Service still means faster delivery on your doormat!

Hi Neil
Very weird, didn't get this one either. The only mail I've got into my hotmail a/c is from Global Internet BV, and it's not your name on those mails.
Try sending to this alternate address -

Re: Virtual Sex w/ Alicia - available in UK?
Was told the same by them when I mailed them to ask about the posting-to-Germany situation.
Good news if you live in the UK but not so good for me - I doubt deliveries to Ireland would get sent that way, more likely to go direct and get nabbed by customs.
Ah well, will take my chances...
