We import a lot of bitcoin stuff. So we receive a lot of customs and shipping related bills. The amount of bureaucracy and difficulty we encounter is getting crazier by the day. So just to summarize some things of today:
Coldcard send us a shipment that was not filled in correctly, wrong zip code and wrong company name. Customs is holding the shipment and don’t reach out to us as there is no contact details inputted with this shipment. We found out by actively checking as most shipments coming from COLDCARD (npub19ca…qj29) go wrong.
It’s impossible to get through the web of the phone calls but after almost an hour of trying we receive an email of a customs back office that should be able to input and update the shipment with the correct info…
We received a customs bill by dhl that has a wrong company name and it’s a shipment coming from a US army base, for sure not for us, spend a long time on the phone getting that corrected…
We received a customs bill for a shipment we shouldn’t get a customs bill for as we have all the customs permits, luckily the office closes at 16.00 so they just don’t pick up the phone from half an hour before that time…
