So guys, how can we sort this? What national organisation can fight our corner? There are 14,000, or more, on this site now and whilst I realise that a small number go to Africa each year, surely we can do something to sort out what should be a trivial matter.
I mean, what are customs up to? " They don't like to give out the letters!" Are they a professional, governmental service or just a bunch of people operating on whims? I can't imagine this situation is in Home Office guidelines but there must be protocols somewhere to deal with this.
Do we not have a customs officer in our number? Where are the regulations? We have been told many times, sometimes heatedly, that we dont need an export licence and that all will be well in Joburg. Aye, tell that to the guy behind the counter who's hanging on to your guns! Practically to get out of the Firearms Office smoothly, we do.
Sensible suggestions chaps.
