Re: customs

Did you attach all your UKARA/VCRA exemption details to the original order for them to put in? if not, you might be best getting on to HMRC with your details so they can release it.

unless it's a 2-tone, of course, then they're probably just plinking at the rats in the warehouse with it for a while, before sending it on...

Re: customs

I was waiting a month for something to clear, they should send you forms so that you can prove you're a skirmisher or something like that, but they like to take their time
Fraid you've probably got a long wait

Re: customs

Its always worth giving them a call if you havnt and try to speak to someone in person. You'd be amazed how much more helpful they seem to be than the odd email

Re: customs

Customs are suffering from a 'backlog' of items ate the moment and the time quoted to me for a delivery from the US was a 2-3 week wait until they get to your package. Thats was on a box of VN era webbing mind. I don't know if they'd get to a weapon and quicker or not.
