    just got word from ups that a package of mine had been siezed for inspection by customs.

    My M203 was sent to customs in Dublin (Dublin mail center D12) not the usual Portlaoise so maybe their just stickin ya with tax.

    Ehh, as far as I know, they dotn fly into planes into the D12 sorting office. It would have to have come through Terminal1 at the airport or portlaoise to get there.

    I beleive customs/an post have a system for flagging addresses(eg, known drug dealers) so all their stuf gets checked. If they can do if for senders addresses then that could be why everything from ehobby is being checked, even small parts.

    I really don't see the point of what they're doing. It'll all have to be released and sent out as it's legal. And I'm pretty sure they're aware of that. All they're doing is making more work for themselves.

    Unless of course they're using it as an excuse to get a look at and document all these airsoft parts.

    Interesting, mine was sent to customs in D12 too....


    But horgan_p is in Cork, so it's not just the mail centre in D12 that's doing it.


    Lethal: while alot of packages do go to portlaoise, quite a lot of smaller packages, or non-registered ones that I get are routed through the mail centre on the nangor road instead, up until this incident though, I've never had a package coming through the mail centre in D12 get stopped by customs though, up until now that is.

    If they actually just asked us or the retailers for examples of each unit for documentation reasons they'd get it a lot quicker and with a lot less hassle. There must be something other than that going on. Either they've been told to be extra vigilant for some reason or they've gotten a lot of new staff. The trend does seem to sway more toward people buying accessories though.

    well i jave to say this is somthing that has crost my mind, without more examples its hard to say, this might just be another case of a over eager staff , these could just be isolated cases we will just have to wait really
