EricMilfeld Posted October 30, 2008 Author Share Posted October 30, 2008 I've received the money and will be shipping the gripper early tomorrow morning. I think the delivery time is about 3 days, but I will double check at the post office tomorrow. Kill it, Cornelius! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EricMilfeld Posted November 8, 2008 Author Share Posted November 8, 2008 I got word from Franky that customs is requiring the gripper package to be opened in the presence of a customs official. As a result, the cert is being delayed until at least Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannon Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Wow, so he'll have to do the cert right there with the official? That might throw some off their game, but from the looks of the prep videos, not this guy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankyBoy Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Cornelius did 2 attempts and closed both of them. The whole thing was a pain in the ... though. We weren't even allowed to take the gripper with us after the cert but had to package it again in the original box so that they could send it back immediately. However we were at least allowed to go outside the customs station building for some better light. Kudos to Cornelius to close the gripper under these circumstances. Video is processed right now and will be sent to Wanna in a couple of minutes. Gripper is on its way back to its home base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Piche Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 What!? Sounds like you have a bunch of people wasting a bunch of the gov money over there. Why don't they worry about real issues. I hope it was packaged up well to go back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankyBoy Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 It was exactly the same box used and Eric did a good job with packaging it! What!? Sounds like you have a bunch of people wasting a bunch of the gov money over there. Why don't they worry about real issues.I hope it was packaged up well to go back?

Teemu I Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Hey, congrats! Customs can really make your lives more miserable in Europe..I almost had to fake crying to get the MM2 out of there. I had to ask a separate letter from Jedd explaining the situation to get the gripper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
