Think it took about 4 days to get from Texas to Helsinki, that's cool. But then...I get told it has cleared customs (not true) then it is being 'sorted' then registered, on the way, no movement for 4 days to make the 400kms journey here...Then told to make customs decl.-even though it had cleared- did it, not accepted, tracking No. OK, address & name OK, values OK but a new EU law demanding a code for all non EU packets but the code has gone AWOL. Posti doesn't know how to find this code- ask Customs. Customs doesn't know-ask Posti. How do I KNOW??? Now after a week of it being in the sorting office I have to wait another week and then try and do the Customs....and if no code the week after it gets returned. I don't think Kafka ever visited here...but he'd recognize this insane, wooden bureaucracy and passive aggression: A code is necessary but no one knows what it is or where to find it....But don't forget, the Digi and A-I world is always better and right.
About 10 years ago I bought a CASE/Bose Norfolk from a dealer in NY State and it was delivered to my door in under 72 hours, no digital forms or paper forms, no taxation no long delays and chat box customer service.........Dark Ages
Hi Will, if that code you need is customs HS-code I use 821193 for folding pocket knives and 821192 for fixed knives and it always works with our customs
Getting stuff out of here is OK it's when it gets here that the trouble can begin.
just got enraged by the incompetence, usually if I complain in public about an issue the Knifegods intervene and all is well!
In addition to additional money, it cost me a huge amount of patience.
. Ended up being my favorite pickup of the year, even though I also have a snakewood and appaloosa.
