  Pray that you don’t encounter those customs ####s. I once got severly ripped off because a pal of mine express mailed an overnight parcel via DHL (aka DestroyingHobbyistsLives) which contained a few MR01 parts and a rare, sealed Dreamcast game. Those #$$%^^’s at customs witheld the bundle for quarantine (WTF it’s not a bio-form) for 2 weeks (i paid $55 dollars for fast overnight delivery what a nerve). It arrived crushed and carelessly resealed. The DC game was missing it’s shrink wrap, spinecard, and the case was cracked and scratched. THE FINAL INSULT was the accompanying letter, demanding an additional 56 AU dollars (total: over $100 for a late, damaged delivery) for quarantine fees and handling. If anything, do NOT mail with DHL or Fedex, these companies are in cahoots with those customs pricks and are the bane of hobby items.
  
  You were warned. !@#$% customs. Bare-faced robbers, the lot of ’em.

  when it comes to customs you have to be cool about things and be patient in the first place.
  
  international air freight with “rush me quick” attracts a lot of attention, i.e you are making them paranoid about the contents.
  
  with my buisness i get a lot of deliveries from indonesia, and trust me every time i have requested a quick pick up or customs clearance its taken an extra week!
  
  lesson no.1 dont rush the ba$tards at customs, they like to punish anyone considered suspisious… paranoid racists they are!

  im back, im back. Got to work Monday, and there’s this box sitting here, see? Dunno what’s going on for a bit, as residue of illness is still floating around me… 10 minutes later and I figure it out… 350Z!!! Guess what, I found that gum over here, but only in the usual flavour. In Chatswood (or Chat-woo as my sis likes to call it; sorry in advance if that offends.) The option to get different flavours does interest me greatly though dood… z-beam; too much caffeine, but not a bad thing…

  Geo-Z – for the record those companies do their own Customs work. Yup that’s right they’re an approved inspection/collection body. That’s why they normally charge the world for it. EMS deliveries go through the regular Australian Customs and generally you’re treated fairly and things are much better handled.

  Yes, and EMS is way cheaper too. I had a few xbox modchips and retro games mailed via EMS, everything arrived as it were…..I also hear that Global Priority Mail also passes through without tampers. One thing’s for sure, that’s the first and last time i deal with DHL.
  
  It really surprizes me how DHL and Fedex are reputedly faster and offer tracking services, but go to such lengths to make a quick buck. Quarantine a CD + MR01 parts, what a joke – if it were food, i’d understand ;).
  
  Peace.
