Anyone ordered DVDs from abroad before?

Marco_Simone SG

I ordered a decent DVD from amazon a month ago.The estimated arrival according to amazon is 1 June 2006.I have checked the amazon "track package" option and it says the parcel reached Singapore on 25 May.

So what has happened to my DVD? Do DVDs bought from overseas have to go through censors? If so,how come the censors are taking so long... Rolling Eyes

The censors are enjoying your DVD first Laughing

haha…and you have to pay the censors for censoring your dvd…they charge according to the length of the film. If they find anything offensive, you will go to jail

I order afew before, and will not do it again...

1) Choose the normal/cheapers air delivery package... the express air freight gig is bogus, it will arrive about the same time as normal frieght.... bloody fvck.

2) DVD cannot be censored.... add $50+ dollars for this unwanted service.

3) Some Mechant will volunteerily package your dvd with fillings and classify them as something else, and got thru custom.... suceeded once... Shocked

Others will just dump your DVD into a envolope with your disc outline prominently... and idiot will know it's a DVD/VCD....

How do they actually remove or censor any content from the DVD that you bought overseas? They scratch the disc?

You can get together with some friends to order together and share out the freight costs. It should be cheaper this way. Some people on the Mindef intranet forums do that. I don’t know about censorship though.

The censorship board will do censor before sending it to you. But you’re required to pay a fee.

Its a B grade drama serial "She Spies" which was shown on Ch 5 a few years ago.

I bought it because my fav blondie Natasha Henstridge is in it.
