Since we are talking about bringing in things from overseas, today i spent 3 or 4 hours on the phone with customs, Aust Quarrantine etc.
OH BROTHER. WHAT A PAIN IN THE BUM.
What i learnt was, that if you do not get a PACKAGING DECLARATION done by the seller, or the sender, problems galore arise. If i do not get this declaration, it will start costing me plenty $.
So i am chasing the declaration to save time n money.
BRINGING ARCADE MACHINES AND PINBALLS in isnt easy, because some of the professionals u deal with, give incorrect advice or forget to do their jobs correctly.
A goodmate of mine does it regulary. There are always stuff ups cause people sometimes make mistakes and when you are half way around the world, it aint easy to fix. I will call upon good members like HOMEPIN-Mike who seem to have alot of knowledge in these areas or some of the other members next time.
Never has a STAR TREK arcade machine been so much work. lol
