SB Pro PE in Switzerland: Customs...

[Amaroq]

Man, talk about all-powerful bureaucracy. I got a card yesterday saying my copy is stuck at customs in Geneva until I call them "monday to Friday, between 8 and 11 AM or 2 to 5 PM" or something, because they have insufficient information on the price of the thing.

You'd think they could send it to you and tell you to tell them what it cost at the same time (or have you pick it up at the postoffice, but no, they have to hold my SB hostage until I report in, causing another extra week of pointless delay where it's collecting dust on a shelf somehwere 300 kms from here. I could have had it this weekend! :evil:

Anybody else having this problem? Chrisotto?

Huere Beamtepack. :evil:

[Remy]

Yep... exactly the same ... shame on the customs.... :mad2:

[PS-SCUD]

Chris, here are your orders:

TRP_SwissCustomsOffice
HE 20 tubes.
Fire for effect.

[W@NKER]

I guess mine is also in the hands of the customs, however I haven't heard from them yet.......just give me my copy and I will happily pay whatever they want.

Oh thank God - I only thought such bureaucraZy was to be found in danish customs only ;)

Look on the bright sight - they probaly played it all weekend and by now had placed their own orders. Hope they put the dongle back where it belongs ;)


Best regards
Malm

Hi Amaroq

i am very sorry about your problem, I got mine last friday and my eyes start to get like a square because of the nonstop SB playing :shock:

Hesch rächt, hure beamtepack und Stüre zahle mir ouno für das.... :roll:

Gruss
Daniel

[Amaroq]

What was on yours that's not on mine that yours passed? Did you have to pay anything? Usually they'd just weigh it or estimate it or so and I'd pay a symbolic 10.- ... :)

10 Stutz "Vorwiisigsgebühr" will ja d'Poscht so oder so, au wenn Du am Schluss gar nüt zahle muesch will's z.B zwenig choschtet für MwSt oder Zoll. :roll:

I'm glad I'm not the only one though, jeez. I feel like telling them it's a free sample of "Artillery" for the Atari or so now.

Thanks for your support, PS_Scud, my feelings exactly...

Sali Zäme...
Amaroq, I haven't ordered it - yet. Puh... lucky me.

Concerning customs duties, they'll put something on top, at will. I remember paying CHF 15 on annual reports (which are free of charge) I ordered from various companies in the US, while playing some trading ideas for the PA.

Call them, and don't complain, explain what it is about and for which use it might be. CHF 10 sound ok...

Roger, Fire for effect... C'mon, they're only doing their job, they haven't got a choice.

Looks like a strange package, and with ESimGames written over it, who knows what?

And possible last (but not least) - could it be that some customs officals were in a Pz Brigade? Then I would know why you haven't got your SB Pro PE yet :)

Still waiting on my 2nd copy which i bought for a corporol In my unit

[smangs]

That sucks. I guess that eSim did not complete the custom slip correctly with the actual value of the product. Just something they should keep in mind for next shipments.

[Amaroq]

Yep. Funny it passed in many places but not in others...?

[Pakenko]

Hey guys, I usually had such a sort of trouble here, but lucky enough this time it did not make them anyhow suspicious. The e-sim customs declaration reads book and CD-ROM, which could be free of duty due to the world free trade or similar crap and yes, the price declaration is written in a non-crackable code ( I can see the poor guy writing the same stuff for the 100th time)...

You're living in the wrong part of Switzerland, for les Suisse allemands :).

Language punishment.

[Swiso]

Well...in this case , i am happy that "Ticino" is not the "last wheel of the wagon" anymore..... :wink: :)
Happy SB !!

Pfffffff... même pas mal..... I' m playing SB PRO PE payed 139 US$, so I have 14 US$ more features Isn't it.....

[Vati]

That's the reason I am not buying SB until Esim has either EU distribution or download option.
If we are ingoring the bureaucracy delays I would had, the end total price would be in the range of $200.
