Do you guys think it's safe to order stuff from Hong Kong?

I want to order the Hero DVD but I'm afraid the guy who will pack it up will sneeze on the case so it will infect me with that weird SAR disease that's been going round....

Yup and the virus cells love cellophane wrappers that are on the dvds and will reproduce at exponential rates and will evolve into an uber virus that is 3/4 the size of the empire state building

I would download it just to be safe. Make sure it's not originating from a server in HK though. ;)

I live in Maryland and the place I usually order HK DVDs is

Hivizone

But it's located in HK and I'm worried the packing guy will sneeze or something while packing my order and infect me with SARS. But I really want to see this movie.

For a serious answer, it's not supposed to be dangerous unless you have direct contact with an infected person, so indirect contact like a DVD should be fine.

I would be more worried that it is a BOOTLEG!
