| bkerensa | weird... I got a call from "UPS Customs House Brokerage" informing me that a package from Canonical Ltd., has been placed in Hold Status by U.S. Customs | 02:25 |
|---|---|---|
| bkerensa | lol | 02:25 |
| bkerensa | pleia2: have you ever by chance had a package from Canonical (CD's and such) held in customs for some sort of "Import Duty" | 03:50 |
| pleia2 | bkerensa: a long time ago an order by NJ/PA teams of stuff ordered from the Canonical store was held due to improperly declared t-shirts, the guy receiving it just paid the fee :\ | 04:17 |
| pleia2 | bkerensa: I'd email shipit and tell them what happened, see what they recommend | 04:18 |
| bkerensa | pleia2: ok will do... yeah Bilal Aktar said UPS has bungled a shipments to people in Canada and tried to charge them some weird fees related to dealing with customs | 04:19 |
| bkerensa | but I mean I got two shipments prior and had zero issues with any fees so no idea | 04:20 |
| pleia2 | yeah, I haven't had problems in ages | 04:24 |
| pleia2 | international shipping is weird like that | 04:24 |
| * pleia2 off to dinner | 04:24 | |
| pleia2 | good luck :) | 04:24 |
| bkerensa | pleia2: I found out what the issue was apparently Merchandise Mania which handles the shipments marked on the customs declaration "Promotional Material" and this was to vague for Customs so they just want to know exactly whats inside | 19:14 |
| bkerensa | I told them that although I did not know with absolute certainty all of the contents that at the very least it would be CD's and lanyards with no commercial value | 19:15 |
