(well, a warehouse at London Heathrow Airport Terminal 3, anyway :-( )
I've made my transatlantic crossing, the folk at Seko (who RD ship us to Europe, at least, with) were nice and efficient in getting in touch with my guy... there's "just one small snag".
What with import duty and tax, plus delivery (Seko are happy to truck me down to my guy's place at a very reasonable rate, and get me - still in my crate - upstairs, bless them), it means that there's another payment to be made - nearly a third of what my guy paid for me, in the first place.
Still, as L'Oreal might say, "I'm worth it" :-).
That's not the snag, though.
The fact that I'm being imported privately means that, by Seko UK policy, they won't take me to my guy until all the payments are cleared into their account. This wouldn't be a problem, except for the fact that they don't have the capability to process debit or credit cards - otherwise, I'd be on my way pretty much "right now".
My guy is uncomfortable about carrying the requisite amount of cash around - and indeed, withdrawing it from his bank would be an exceptional event - so, he's going to send them a cheque. Call it one day for postage, and three days for processing - and as he's going to be very busy for the first 3 days of next week, as he's presenting and doing demos at a conference - all things being well, I'll finally get to my new home and my guy, a week tomorrow...
