Soooooo frustrated with customs

[cventer]

My new Orion Optics AG-10 scope arrived into the country on Saturday last week.

Its been sitting in a DHL warehouse the whole week waiting for customs clearance. One stupid thing after another.

Grrrrrr so close yet so far.

Multiple calls and still no action to clear it.

It'll come, it'll come :)

Life is paperwork.
I've had many experiences with importing gear and the big secret is no secret: Just fill in the forms and pay the extortion.
The only thing you should be hit for is GST if the item is over $1000
Telescopes are not subject to duty or any weird catagorization.
Usually takes about a day for clearance and up to a week for delivery.
Courage mon brave!

We'll send it on just as soon as it gets cloudy, promise.

Patience...
