Project Elf shipments on their way
-
I'm a bit scary, Argentina has a long tradition of corrupt customs officials, mysterious disappearances of packages and endless bureaucratic paperworks :(
-
Stuk, Immii, Alexandra, sooner or later everybody get contacted by TNT, bacause of the customs. And in the email there is consignment number that you can type in at "TNT's Track package site":http://cgi.tnt.co.uk/trackntrace/trackntrace.asp, and voila there are all the updates about the package.
paulo don't be afraid, TNT is a quite well delivery company, they will ship it to you in a few days ;)

I've got an e-mail a few days ago, to fill a clearance order for TNT that they use for making the customs clearance in Hungary. I though it's the same in every country since the package is sent from out of the EU.
But as Alexandra said, it's quite confusing and over complicated, so I'm sorry, if it's not the same way in your case.

They asked me for my email address, then they wanted:
to know the detailed contents of the package and their value (thank you for ruining the surprise :-( )
a statement telling them that all the clothes in the package were not made of cats, dogs or any other endangered species (wtf!);
a statement telling them that the contents were a present from Nokia and I don't run any kind of import-export business.
Sigh...

Lol, peppe (italians), for me only the first # :)

I am still to get any email phone or any tracking number. It is totally blank at my end.
Hope nothing goes wrong at US custom office. -
Reading this, I’m starting to believe that our post office is not that bad, it only breaks packages and misdelivers them (they could be found after a year or more, in worst cases —.—), and doesn’t really steal them.
Though, unlike Italian post, it is not private, but government’s... Hope you’ll get all your packages safely, and posts won’t get too interested of them of Nokia goods and steal them :)
-
Grrr, I still haven't received. :)
Yesterday I saw the program "Spaniards in the world", and the chosen place was Oslo (nice place, BTW). I hope this is the right signal, and I receive the package today, because I can't believe Barcelona is that far away from Oslo than Hessdorf. ;)
-
Hehe, yes, that was one of my theories, that maybe the packages go through Frankfurt. But I initially assumed that Oslo->Barcelona was just one "hop" (more or less, since probably many stuff goes through Madrid), so it will be more or less the same to reach any EU city, plus possibly one extra day. But it's Wednesday, I'm still jealous of you. ;-)
