Is their anyone who is planning to travel to France next week and would be willing to carry a Tamiya King Tiger to France and meet Dietrich for delivery. The first KT has been taken by Customs in France and the ****s will not release it in time for our project to be complete. I can have the package delivered to the UK by Thursday. In order for the Courier service to deliver to Dietrich I have to have the package in the UK by Monday, almost three hundred dollars. So any one with an suggestion or Idea please let me know ASAP.

Thanks guy's could use some help here, Blake

Come on guy's their has to be a better way than paying three hundred dollars and no guarantee of on time delivery due to customs crap.
Even information on a courier service that will deliver next Saturday? Any suggestions?

cheers Blake

Short of delivering it to a member on the south coast and paying him to deliver it to france I don't know what to say!

Hi,

I am going to France on friday 30th July to visit Rob (wibblywobbly). I will be staying in Calais friday night and then traveling eastward towards St Nazaire on saturday and sunday if thats any good. I will be there for a week coming home via Lille on sunday 8th august. I will be taking a tank to a nephew so another will keep it company.

It seems after having the package in their hands for 10 days customs has now released the package to complete it journey from me to Albert(DIETRICH) so thanks for the suggestions and thanks very much to Dave for all his help concerning this situation.

The customs form here in the states has a very small area or spaces to list content, being to general in my descriptions seem to of caused them some concern, of course customs actually contacting the states to revise the document so more detail could be given would be the smart thing to do, and is exactly why they don't.

Just some basic common sense from our governments would be nice.
