FSRs and German Customs

[kman]

Speaking from recent experience here...

Let's just say you have a German buddy buy some FSRs and then re-ship them to you in the US. Germany has some "decent" flat-rate shipping from DHL:

Up to 5kg €35 ($46)
Up to 10kg €45 ($60)
Up to 20kg €65 ($86)

I priced out the cost of either 10kg (4 FSRs) or 20kg (8-9 FSRs) and the final priced worked out to about $30 per FSR to get them over here to the US. Now if you had someone in the UK who could get a few cases shipped for to them for cheap, that might save some money on the initial shipping cost. But if you're looking at shipping more than 9 FSRs (one case) at a time (to save shipping costs), you have to add the extra worry that Customs might take a special interest in your pacakge. Yes, even if the product originated here in the US - because they won't necessarily know that.

First of all, make sure they have them in stock!!!

I bought (the last?) four cases...

But they offer some single FSR

Keep rubbing it in guys...why don't you also post some more pictures of your huge stashes of FSRs to make us over here in the US even more jealous.

Hi guys,

don't want to make anyone angry but I grabbed one case, too I ordered 11 FSRs and received one sealed case and two single packages taped on top. Wow !

I can higly recommend armyrations.co.uk for their superb service, and very fast shipping. Maybe, for those who have the privilege to be shipped from UK, you have to order 9 FSR (3 x 3 of a kind) to get them into one case ? Just wondering

And like housil said, absolutely no problem with the customs... Thanks for motivating me, and someday, nearly starved, I will eat up a whole ration and post a detailed review (for those are interested) ...
