Hi Bros,

nowadays some many raids on dvd, who in the world want to post website in the open? I suggest you go th them at Holiday and get the info direct.

yup, it's still the same shop front. website changed liao. if u were on their mailing list you would have their new website address. anyway ordering to local boh hua one, buy from there direct is super cheap.

many bro surely don't know that bringing DVD into singapore is not aganist the law, just don't bring porn and VCDs. I always bring dvds in tens and show it to the custom officer and he'll just check for porn or not and he'll return me and all is well. Just take a bus there and buy, waste some of your time but it is really damn cheap

lazy to DL from torrent anyway, take so long

I too bring DVD back always and never been a time i have been caught. Only for cigarettes and the duty is $7.50 a pack. Porn DVD have to be careful, it is a serious offence.

Bro, I dun agree that it is not against the law. Even if it is not porn, those DVDs are still uncensured by our Singapore Censureship Board. The custom office can still confiscate your DVDs and make you collect them from the Censureship Board.

Maybe now the emphasis is on cigarettes and so many customs offcers also just close one eye on DVDs. Also if only about 10 pcs, maybe the custom officer just too lazy to make a report so just let you go. There is still a risk factor involved.

it really had to depends on the mood and emphasis of the custom officers sometimes. nonetheless, it is definitely an offence to bring in non-original dvd, vcd, etc. take the chances but must be mentally prepared to take any consequences if you really "sway" that day.

sometimes, we try to save a few ringgits and end up paying more in fine and invite unnessary troubles. just like illegal parking in Sgp.

Cheers

Agree totally. The custom officers can make life very difficult for you if you kuai lan with them. It's within their rights to do a complete check on everything.
