RCIRs with mains removed

Post by Ren » Thu Feb 27, 2020 2:21 pm

I ordered 2 of the RCIR Menu 10 from MREmountain and this time customs removed both mains.

Just a heads up, last time in December 2019 they let it pass.

Sorry to hear man!

If they don't open it, or if it didn't contain meat, they would have let it pass. Not everything gets inspected or confiscated.
All the best, Gents.

That's a shame to hear. I just ordered some RCIR's into Canada and they were all inspected but nothing was removed at all. The US seems to be a terrible place to try and get foreign rations imported in, just a crap shoot.

Yeah these mains are fully cooked, processed foods -- more like beef jerky than raw meat.

Heat n eat, shelf-stable food should be fine, so it's annoying they are inconsistent.

My EPa arrived from Germany yesterday and Customs didn't even open it.

My success rate has been 50%.

It would be fine if they could resend it till it gets thru, but no dice when the item is hard to find.

It's funny, the postman gave me the box, I shook it and there was nothing. "Feels empty!"
