I think he's on about Customs as in HMRC (but the Finnish one!) not customs as in handmade knives etc :) And he has had a couple of bad experiences with them if i remember rightly :)

Lol yeah - I guessed that, I just wondered if he was going to, you know, elaborate a bit having started a topic about it......

It's cool, he's hundreds of miles away from me :D

Bureaucrats, funny bunch and I don't mean haha.

no,i think.this is the first time this happens,and even the first time any stuff has been taken into customs and opened by them.pretty odd.

this was what i received,and i had to make sure from wh867 that there was more than these in it when he sent it,and there was a victorinox that has the combo opener,and one loose bit exchanger for gerber mpt.i went thru the whole box,turned it upside down and nothin more was to be found in it.anyway,its good that these arrived,but its odd that customs can forget to put back all that there was in box :o

i hope they say,as i call em,that"oh gosh the vic and all are here on counter,were sorry". :).

I'm guessing that somehow they just forgot to put it back in when they put the other stuff back in the box. The only stuff missing is a beat up Vic Compact and a saw blade and exchanger for the Gerber. Doesnt make much sense to just steal those items. :(.   Its  bad enough that it took over a month for the package to arrive.

hi guys!

i had three days black-out from internet as someone went and cut thru the cables here in these blocks where i study and live but it seems that last nite they have repaired all the connections.

all is good,i had only one issue with customs again but i got that solved ( ill be tellin you more,eodtech,about it ).

seems like i have to make some clever things to manage all packages in & out now,but i really must stop gettin any bigger/higher priced items overseas for couple weeks,to avoid bigger harms :).

well,of to school now,ill be here at todays night again.
