    Grrr - Customs have got my new BB

    The swines have had my 1.1 single BB for three days now, I bet they're all having a go

    Come on guys how long do you need to keep it for ? I know it's a nice bit of kit but it doesn't belong to you

    I'll bet they are test hanging it!

    Hope they'll let there greasy, cold, zombified fingers handle it fast, so it can be in the mail again.

    To be fair Rich, it is a Blackbird. Can you blame them?

    I bet they have tied it up to two huge towers of cash they have liberated

    Take two deep breathes, then two large swigs of "Apple Pie", then take a nap until it arrives!

    That sucks. Hopefully they're not about to slap some customs duties on there.
    I watched the shipping on mine and it was in customs for 2 minutes according to the tracking info. I've had things stay in customs for 5 days before and then had to pay them a 'handling fee' for them to take their time 'handling'. It's a bit of a crapshoot.

    We have the same "problem" regarding danish customs. They charge a fee, for charging the handling fee + taxes and VAT

    So much for free trade....... (i better stop before i get all political here)

    I've got another load of stuff coming from MLD in the next week or two as well, it could be an expensive month I think.
