Has anyone had any trouble ordering DVDs mail order with UK customs.

Not sure on the law now

Try 'The Violation of Joe King' a bit further down this page.

I dont think Customs are sure of the law either! Sometimes they sieze stuff that falls outside r18 guidlines e.g. watersports, bondage etc. And sometimes they let it through.

Hopefully their minds are elsewhere at the moment....

Had no trouble at all. Several hardcore orders have been opened and then let through. As long as you avoid s&m, coprophilia and, of course, kiddie porn, you shouldn't have a problem. Pissing might be a problem, tho.

Try the link to the melonfarmers site, which has lots of advice and info:

pissing is only a problem if it is considered to be causing arousal! i.e. - urolagnia!

ive been importing cheerfully for ages and almost everything seems to be opened these days, but nothing is ever stopped, including pissing and bondage. i get the impression they'd only bother to seize if it was way out of order ie child porn, etc.

i only object to the fact they sometimes take weeks to send it on and i assume its been seized and complain to the retailer only for it to turn up a few days later

You know why it takes so long for them to send it on Bob?

They take it home with them and watch it over and over just to make sure it is not obscene.:.)
