You ain't gonna fucking believe this.

Took delivery of wholesale quantity of Tim Tams.

Pre packed and stacked nicely (boxes of 20 packets).

Covered boxes in "Fragile" tape (just be absolutely sure that they DO get smashed to pieces in transit).

Rang DHL Express to pick up and send.

Can you BELIEVE that I need US Food And Drug Administration (FDA) APPROVAL to ship goddamn chocolate biscuits into the United States.

:grrr:

And..

I need SEPERATE approvals for each Tim Tam variety, AND for the Violet Crumbles AND for the Caramello Koalas AND for EACH bottle of wine?

If that is not bureaucracy gone mad I do not knwo what is.

Anyways...

Never, fear, ToyBoy is here.
Anyone else remember "Lost In Space"?

I know a guy.....

He he.

Everything but the wine is fine, applications have been lodged and all should be good. The process for shipping the wine is just too much - seperate applications for each type.

Serge - I hope I can replicate a few of the choices I had made at the outgoing duty free mate!!

The moral of this story?

Thou shalt bow down and kiss the feet of the man bearing chocolate biscuits on delivery.
