It's not my stuff either mate. I was just making an observation as to why some stuff gets confiscated by customs.

Thanks for the onfo but it's not for me.

I used to have films that I ordered go missing in the post and I was convinced that my local postie was keeping them for himself.

Then a couple of years back one of these local posties got done in the courts for stealing and whereas I still don't know it's the same guy I am more convinced than ever that it was him.

I used to have a lot of those older type of USA films that you were on about. With the likes of Kylie Ireland, Tera Heart, Kaylan Nicole, Debi Dimond etc but not sure what happened to them.

You have got me all nostalgic now.

Honestly mate I can't see why you are having problems with customs unless you are ordering massive amounts of it. As I said try renting a mailbox and having them sent under a different name. Don't use a PO Box as some Yank Co.'s won't deliver to them. I'd have good money that if you did this then they'd get through.

If you want a mailbox rental Co. then ask and I'll send you the URL of one.

I think that you'd be fine. I have ordered most of my stuff since then and it's fine.

I'd give it a go by trying to order one title and see where that takes you. Alternatively I'll give you my email address and we'll sort something out between us where I get them sent to me and I'll send them on.

Well that explains it, as this was before the R18 guidelines were relaxed. After the relaxation, they could no longer claim the material was illegal as it could be legally bought from Licensed Sex shops in this country.

The laws were relaxed? Wow. I will try and read up on this change to the law. Thanks.

Not so much a change in the law as a change in the definition of the R18 certificate.

I think this statement sums up my problem perfectly:

At the moment R18s are only legally available from licensed sex shops with provisos. Importing hardcore material is restricted by Customs and Excise who have their own ideas about what is acceptable.

Do you have the URL of a good mailbox company please? Thanks! Also, should I put it in my name if they have me on some stupid list?

Yeah okay email at: and I'll email it to you in return.

As it's post R18 then you might be okay with your own name but to be on the safe side then I would use an alias just in case.
