How's it going!

I recently ordered my first two Ultrasabers (to save money on the ridiculous shipping costs), and am tracking it constantly online.

Now, the last couple of entries do worry me a little bit .. check this out:

Koeln, Germany    20.06.2011    20:57    Shipment pending release from clearance agency
                           20.06.2011    18:47    Arrival Scan
                           20.06.2011    11:48    Package not released through clearing agency system - document inspection required
                           19.06.2011    18:58    Package data processed by brokerage Waiting for clearance

Do I need to call them, sort things out, or is it not necessary yet?

Odds are, they're gonna take it due to copyright issues, aren't they?

Alright, so I did give em a call.

They told me that the sender of the package will now be contacted about a receipt or something along those lines.

..Weird, isn't it? Does this happen a lot?

Update:
Additional information or documents required.

You gotta be kidding me. 150 bucks for this order, and they're gonna end up keeping it.

Edit: Update, yet again:

Talked to UPS on the phone, the customs needed proof that the package was 150 bucks in total.
So, basically they're asking for a receipt.

Jesus Christ, this is why I hate Germany.

I think when I ordered, there was a spot on the order form to declare the "total value of the package for customs / international customers" or something along those lines.

Okay, this is what you do, you go dress up like this guy:


(okay, when I was thinking up this joke in my head, I thought let's go look for a pic of Osama, and then I found this....... and I just can't help but ask..... What The Hell is Bert Doing With Osama?!?!?!?  lmao)

(Joke Back On Track  Grin)

and you go up to the Customs Agents and tell them that it's just a pipe for your gum (don't worry that they'll hear "Pipe Bomb") lmao

Oh wait you want to get your sabers out of customs, not go to Federal Prison for the Rest of Your Life...............  Undecided My Bad  Wink lmao!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
