: If it is, then Sam could get it from you. (right?)

You mean, refuse it and have them send it back to FS. Then have FS send it to me, then me send it to him....it is just crazy enough to work!!! I like it! Let's run it by Sam!

: : That sucks the big one! Looks like they are just penalizing you for ordering goods outside the Crown Government....and that is a crock!

: : Hey, buddy....whenever you get ready to move to the US, I'll meet you at Hartsfield!

: : Sheesh....I hope you can work this out AND find your jacket-if you don't at least get that thing and it be just AWESOME-I am really going to feel bad for you!

: : We could have found a way around this, you know....I could have ordered the jacket for you, then put it in a separate, unmarked, box so that customs wouldn't have gotten their greasy, grubby little hands all over it! Ahhh, hindsight.

: : Well, I am thinking about you, sending good vibes your way!

: : Later, man!

: : : Here is the latest,the $308(aust)is apparantly not a cleaning charge after all.The import duty on leather clothing to Australia is calculated at 25% of the declared value of invoiced goods,in this case the goods were declared at $468.(US).With the current exchange rate of $1.oo Aussie being worth $0.51 it worked out to be about $208 worth of import duty,here is the clanger i am being charged G.S.T,Goods and service tax,or Government Sanctioned Theft of 10% of the duty.Extra $20.80 for the government bag man.The rest of the fees charged are for an INFORMAL CUSTOMS DECLARATION that i had to fill out myself.If i had declared it as a jacket and not a leather jacket i probably would have only been screwed for $100(Aust).
: : : Since leaving customs the fricking thing has gone missing,and noone can tell me where it is!!!!!!
: : : This is for all the dudes that said its worth it
: : : I hope your right
: : : Sam
: : : P.S the description of GOATSKIN on the invoice is what got my parcel pulled over.They suspected raw hides and opened it up and saw an expensive looking jacket.Random luck.
