Just to make the point: $30 is about what I'd expect to pay for EIGHT VHS tapes from Jaded or Excalibur........

Why is it only available from Lezlove. BJ? Most vids are obtainable from several different suppliers.

Hi vila,
Simple answer is that most mainstream distributors, especially those serving Europe won't go anywhere near an all girl vid. Those that did express an interest couldn't offer me the financial incentives that I was looking for.
I had heard good things about Lezlove and they have gone out of their way to accomodate my needs and to insure the rapid release of Nadia's Sweet Revenge.
And though I agree that their postage and packaging is high priced, at least you will get the tape / DVD ordered and it will be of a superb quality.
Cheers,
Big Jim

Jen - the girl that runs Lezlove - has stated time and time again that their UK sales are massive - second only to the US.
But whenever we've asked about the extortionate postage rates - whether it's by e-mail or through their Yahoo group - we've been met with a complete wall of silence.
Of course US customers get free postage when they spend over $100.00. Presumably offset by their European counterparts...

Yes, but the trade-off is, you will get reduced sales-volume as those on budgets decide reluctantly to do without. That add-on cetainly made me think twice........and the incentive for piracy is thereby increased.

Its a lose lose really
If you really wanted the vid/dvd but were on a budget you'd save up putting off other purchases or bypass the product altogether
I've never understood this USD30-00 for postage
The other kicker in the shipping section...all the vids to the UK come in white sleeves not the original box covers...thats taking the piss IMPO.
If I can send a vid in original box cover from Australia to the U.K. for USD8-00....the mind boggles
cheers

Err.... oh yes.
Quite why I went straight to Google instead of rumaging around this old beast is quite beyond me. I blame the Australian influence. I really do.
