Sipping from africa

[mike9452]

Around febuary I started working on a shipment of well lets say some interesting ball pythons.I was told that it whould take about 6 weeks to get everything here.
Well first the cites in nigeria turned down,so my friend in affrica went to benin.The papers were aproved after about 2.5 months.While my friend was in benin picking up the papers he way beaten and robbed,his car was also badly damaged.The african police(if you whould call them that)were holding the content of his car while they were investigating his atack,and geuss who's paper work was being held.This went on for about a month the police wanted a bribe to release my papers.Finaly my friend got his lawyer involved,after about a week he got my paper work.So I think great there finaly comming WRONG!!!!!We start to arange shipping and geuss what the only place in canada they can be shipped to is Montreal well thats about 2000 miles away from me.So now i had to hire a company to redirect the shippment here to me.Can't wait to hear what that is going to cost.
well that is my ranting done just woundering is it that much of a nightmare to get stuff inported into the states.

Thats a crappy situation but I guess like everything it gets worst before it gets better. I deal with alot of import/export of aeronautical components and we deal with these delays all the time. I'm sure snakes are a little bit different but when it comes to import/export it can often be a very lengthy process.

The discovery of a new morph in africa though can sometimes make all that trouble worth while. Sorry for the difficulties and good luck completing your venture.
