I usually have a wait of 4 to 6 weeks to NZ for a parcel- most take around 3 to 4 weeks but I try to switch off the worry until 4 to 5 weeks.
This Thread is insane the speed it goes. I tip my hat to the fine gentleman who continuously quote and keep up with the everyday posts.
I know that Jack is super busy with the Lambfoot knife orders and with the continuous visits to A Wright’s etc.
A great big thank you to Jack, and also the guys who help maintain this fast growing Thread.
I am now Waiting in the Airport @ Amsterdam- goodbye to a massive holiday Sue and I have just experienced, goodbye to Jack once again ( I felt so sad turning away from Jack again at York Train Station knowing it would be quite some some till we meet again - of which I am sure we will with Sues family connections in England).
Really looking forward to the next 29 Hours Flying
I have my knives wrapped up in Paper and taped up with notes to Customs officials if they X-ray my bag and have concerns.
Always I have left a note to Customs explaining that I am aware of the Country’s that I am travelling through and too - that these knives comply with all these Countries laws being single edged , none are Lockback and no Ivory etc, I also say that if they would care to speak to me at the Airport stops I would be only too glad to speak to them - supplying my mobile phone number as well.
At times My bag has been inspected by Customs whom have left a note with no negative outcomes.
I remember leaving North Dakota Airport once and my bag was several pounds over weight - so I pulled my bag aside with Paul Hilborn there and was handing over these handfuls of knives lol - The Airport guy was standing there taking it all in with a look of surprise on his face lol. No problem there either.
I guess as long as we stick to the rules!
Looking forward to posting photos once I am home if I am lucky enough that my knives make it back to me.
