Still nothing over here in Bielefeld, Germany. But oddly I got a letter from the tax office today about some delivery from the US. But this could not be it, right? They have not changed their company location. Or do they have two now? Confused, since I did not order anything from the US.. MPC ships things destined for delivery in the US from a mailing agent in the US. I'm not sure how they handle the non-US shipments. Until now there has never been any problems and the mailings always came from Canada, and: oh yes, never ever was I charged with extra taxes. I so hope it stays that way. I will let you guys know if it was them. Going to the office tomorrow.

Another cat person here. They're the best. Have always had a cat since age 4. That's over half a century now. CATS! Divine beeings in feline form. The one I have now has found me, originally "belonging" to a neighbour, who did not care very well . He even called it by the name of "cat" ("If I bought a dog I would have called it "dog". Right?" - NO!!) We just moved a block futher away in the last months and the cat just came to us again by itself and is staying now for good. Good :-).

Guess the name is still just a name (eine Rose ist eine Rose ist eine Rose), but in the case of Cat sadly there was some serious neglecting involved.

I got my box last Wednesday! So at least it is not every single customs office in Germany...

I didn't have to pay any taxes. Not even when I had to visit the customs office. Btw. I got two cats myself. More cats = extra luck?

I am not owned by a single cat, and I have not even received a notice from customs. It will happen in the next days I'm sure! Since me and chrisu were some days apart they obviously did not mail the German boxes together. How about the forth German here? Anybody heard from her?

Mine arrived at the local customs office and is ready for pickup. I expect to pay taxes and duties, since I am not in a habit of making eyes at the customs officers like some of us are, but hopefully not to the tune of what they held up badwolf for.

I finally got my hands on it! badwolf, they charged me only € 6.44 in VAT, so if you would care to argue your case with your customs people and would like a copy of my tax invoice, please let me know.
