Help - want some vids, can't use home address

Can anyone point me in the right direction? I'm sure I am not alone in wanting to get hold of some videos but can't have them sent to my home address.

Does anyone know of a good supplier of videos where I could collect myself?

Please reply if you can


Thanks

Try your local sex shop.

Why not set up a po box address, I think its about ?50 for the year, then get them sent to that address.

A search here will throw up much discussion of this topic.

Using a PO box number is ?52 per year, BUT recieving or sending porn through Royal Mail is illeagal. IF you ask a mate, and maybe let him have a free view or a copy, Im sure he'd do it. (hint)

No, actually it's not illegal to send porn through the post - it's illegal to send obscene material through the post - two different things, but one and the same in the minds of a few reactionary types. What constitutes "obscene" is purely subjective, though we can now safely assume, that any R18 rated material is now, by legal definition, not obscene.

What Jamie smith needs is a PO Box. The private ones can be pretty good as they are more concerned with making a living than any middleclass ponciness regarding what you are sending, or receiving.

The only prob wuith using a private one is that it could cost a bit, unless you look around.

To be honest, I see no difference between sending a vid to your home and sending it to a po box address, as its the same post office.

I am sure that the people sending the tapes will not have printed all over it "hard core porn", I do not think that you would have much problems.

I belive that the obsence law applys only to the Roal Mail and not to private firms, and since if you are getting vids I would expect most firms to use private firms, just because its cheaoer.

When I have ordered the odd PC bit from the net (from usa) it has come via a private firm and not the roal mail.

OK, you could say that if your vids are held atyour local roal mail then, it could be a problem, but what is the worst that will happen? Most that will happen is that you do not get you dvd or tape, you have not commited an offence so you could not be charged.

As I say, A private po box firm could cost you more than the ?50 or so a year, plus you may have to drive a distense to pick up mail, while a po box is local, and you can phone them to see if you have mail, big problem is that you may have to collect before 11am or whatever time they close.

You have obviously never bought a porn video by mail order from any country anywhere.
