Re: Scud battery customs trouble... :-(
 
Can remember first time i got a customs notice, it was back before i knew how awesome linux was, so i ordered on of those fake crappy iphone china models, and customs was threatening to destroy it, but since i only ordered 1 and not 5+ they sent it through, but still had to pay all the duties.

But i know how you feel if this is the first dealing with customs, but again it is no big thing.

Good luck! Even with this trouble, the Scud batteries are awesome and it is worth the extra work to get them. :)

Geekgirl74.. let us know how it goes in the end. I was also thinking about ordering one or two batteries :) Which place 40km from Munich is where you have to go?

(in case you get them without problems and you have one to spare, I could also buy it off you :)

They ordered me to drive to Garching... damn, just looked at Google Maps... its 22km, not 40 :D
still too far without car...
I'll think about your offer, if I ever receive them...

If it was some other day I could even drive you there (sounds sorta weird, but I see no problem with it :). Maybe tuesday if you still didn't get them..

Thanks, but I'm already trying to get them via Deutsche Post. I've called the customs and asked, if I could send the docs via mail and the woman there said yes. So now I'm hoping that they accept my website printouts (PDF), cause I've never received any confirmation or even invoice... if everything goes fine, they'll send me the package and I can pay the customs at my home door. Wish me luck :)

This is what i have done a few times, and i could not imagine that it could not be done in Germany....
If everything is in order they will send you your package and how to pay.
In my experience her in Denmark they are not always demanding a full detailed order description, i have been able to just send a number to them over mail.
The worst thing i have tried was them taking a sku number and assuming this was the price, this was from DX and they thought that the sku 4000 something, was the price in some Chinese currency, so they thought that the product cost around 3000-4000$!!!! and it was only about 150$, but after calling them idiots and sending them the screen grap from DX then they refunded me the difference (yes i can get mad and rude sometimes...)

And i would be interested to hear how much they want from you in customs fee + tax etc...
