Just delete the right boxes, add your UKARA number and sign. That is all they need. Now you move to the next stage of waiting. I sent mine a week ago, it was cleared and it has not moved since. James

I have had this for parts from the US as well. I think it is a fairly standard process. It is a declaration after all so seems reasonable to ask even if parts. Although technically you don't need anything for parts this will help UPS get it through customs with minimal issues.

So, I am getting really worried now. With no sign of either of my shipments moving any time soon there is a real risk my UKARA will run out. I have just over a week left on it. When I placed the orders I was unaware of the dire situation UPS was in and thought it would not take 1 1/2 to 2 months for them to ship. I will be on the phone non stop to UPS next week and will even look at writing to their CEO (politely of course if I want any response). I have just booked in for my next game but his will come too late to renew my UKARA. Anyone else in this situation? Anyone have any ideas on a possible solution? James

Another one.... This time a simple mock silencer/suppressor. This has some internal profiling which hopefully you can make out in the CAD image. James

A few other items I have made, some mag pulls for some PTS and vector mags. James

The bit I hate is cutting the Lexan.

Agree it was predictable which is why there is no real issue with any other couriers. The got their plans and resourcing right. UPS however have messed this up big time. The requirements for import are now they same as for the rest of the world. Nothing they should not have been able to handle. This is a UPS issue.

It looks like TG know now (I have been chasing them several times over my shipment) as they do not appear to be accepting UK orders for now. I have just now emailed the UPS brokerage so will see what happens. I am getting rather desperate and worried now as my UKARA will run out after next week.

Mine has been there for 3 weeks. I have had a number of estimated delivery dates. I think these are auto generated based on assumptions there are no issues. I would get in contact with UPS as I also had a 'pending instructions' state at one time. I have had to follow up with them twice now with a commercial invoice and firearms declaration.

So I have just spent 45 minutes on the phone to UPS to try to get the issue escalated and been told it is due to a Brexit issue and has been raised to their Brexit team in Poland. I should expect a call today. I smell BS. James

Have a look at my earlier pictures. This has the PDI MK23 barrel which is 133mm long. Without the compensator on the Mamba upper or the thread protector on the standard receiver you can just see the end. With the mamba compensator it is fine. With the thread protector only it protrudes about 1mm.

That is not encouraging as one of my shipments has spent 2 weeks in Poland and the other 3 weeks!!! I only have 2 weeks left on my UKARA.

Contacted UPS again today. They can't tell me if there is anything further needed but there might be some documentation needed in Poland from Taiwangun. They don't really know and told me to contact the sender. You would think a modern, competent global company might have these things coordinated and linked up in a database allowing clear information and status. You know, like logistics companies do. James

So both mine have been stuck in Poland for weeks. One of them has just moved but appears to be going in the wrong direction. Has anyone else's shipment gone to Herne-Boernig, Germany

Does anyone know anything about this? I can see it for pre-order on a couple of sites by can find no information on it at all. James

Looks like they have all gone. Can't spot any others at that price. I did see the have a pre order for a Tectonic Innovations Eclipse Timed Grenade. Looks interesting but cannot find any info on it.

Ooh that is a good price. Was that a one off or are there more?

I would keep chasing them. Both times I have chased my delivery it was sat waiting for additional paperwork. They are not good at communicating this so it could be sat there a long time until someone chases that up. In regards to the 'it's just post BREXIT' be patient. The point is that UPS are significantly worse than their rivals. It is a lot of work to organise this but they are a logistics company and that is their job. They have had plenty of time to be prepared. I know the final details came late in the day but the core infrastructure and contingency planning had years. In fact, from what I hear, they had started planning a long time ago. They have either not had a good plan/process in place or have failed miserably in implementing it. So after all the activity yesterday sorting out further paperwork my delivery has now moved back to 'Delayed'!!!!

I now have a 'shipment cleared customs' on the UPS tracker. However everything is still in Poland!!!

Me to after contacting Taiwangun to chase UPS. Got a call and follow up email just now. I have had to fill these in before for shipments from Evike in the US. I can deal with this red tape so long as they are quick to request it (not nearly 3 weeks). I also asked if they (Taiwangun) would consider other shippers clarifying that I would not be purchasing from them again if they still used UPS. Will see if that goes anywhere. James

Thought I would join in a show a couple of things I have designed and made. Lens protector: Fixed stock: James

Yes, I believe it really is down to UPS. I got the same message on the tracker for documentation and when I phoned them yesterday they said they needed a commercial invoice. I sent them the invoice that was provide by TG but that was late yesterday and no update yet. In fact it is still due to be delivered yesterday going by the tracker. James

How much!!!!! They are taking the P with that for a simple spring costing pence to make. James

Apparently now I need to email them a commercial invoice. I am not sure then what previous fees that I have already paid are based on.
