SHIPPING
-
I'm impressed that Denimpet seems to know so many of the start-up people and seems to know galores of customs employees, who are all one happy family without the slightest problems. And they are even all cool and relaxed, without exception, how wonderful. So great.
In my view, this has nothing, absolutely nothing to do with reality. Giles and many other peoples experiences speak for themselves. I have repeatedly made the worst experiences, and never a single good one. I also have never, really never, seen anyone leaving that awful customs post office with a smile, only highly exasperated people.
Just for the record: I have no problem at all with paying "normal taxes" and dues.
In my personal view, being forced to pay for a used item at a fantasy price for a new item is NOT "normal taxes" at all, it is an outrage. As I see little sense in continuing this exchange, I don't plan to grace further lectures from Denimpet about how wonderful and cool these greedy, rude, incompetent bastards are with any further reply! -
who knew the "shipping" thread would have this much going on, hahahahahaha

I was only mentioning my experiences in Berlin with customs which are completely different from an exotic case which was emotionally mentioned here. I hope its peossible to exchange different views with accepting others as human beings. Everybody has regarding some countries his own opinions without seeing ever the whole picture. Germany is a part of the EU-single market and all regulations are the same. The German customs has as main tasks complete different duties as to look into parcels with "used" jeans. You can see under Google etc, you will find nothing about such "problems". I wish everybody a bit more patience. There are different views and experiences. If all is so terrible here, why so many people from inside and outside the EU are coming here?

LOVE you @Denimpet can you spread your joy & cheer to other threads on the forum?

People of the German persuasion…...
Just remember that you can request UPS, we currently default to DPD so you just need to add a note that you want UPS shipping instead.
We use DPD because of the enhanced tracking information, but if this doesn't work well for the majority we can revert to UPS as default - you need to let us know!

Cheers Giles, not something you guys are responsible for … I kinda like the DPD tracking system, but that doesn't help if they hire emptyheads to drive my stuff around over here and coming up with stories to defend their doings.
Anyway, some talking to Pinocchio and his Geppetto going to happen tomorrow and Pinochio better hope I have no lighter in hand by that time, or his wooden ass might... -
DPD sucks….
My last two DPD deliveries were trouble-free –- I pray for continuation
But I'm a realist
UPS is no alternative, .. (enough said .. ;))
As was to be expected ::) … DPD sucks!
Delivery announced for today … at home in joyful anticipation ... and fucked!
My 'new jacket' is located now in a local timber trading company! (DPD service point)
-> earliest pickup option - Monday or Tuesday
