Perhaps this is why they have stolen Joe Kings porn (see above). They will want a good film to show at the party.

I got stung for 6.97 recently, it's a customs charge, nothing new in that. order one item at a time and they don't charge, but 2 or more they will charge for.

Just got done myself, not for porn though. Have had 30+ DVDs without problems. The blurb said that anything valued at over ?20 was liable for import tax and duty. It also seemed that it was up to the Post Office to present the item to C & E.
