On 21st January, Algerian customs office informed me about the K3 delivery. Hurray! Immediately, I started the usual process to get the entrance permission. However, even after two months I didn't get any response from the Algerian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.After innumerable calls, reminders and official diplomatic notes, I finally got a reply: There is no parcel for you! What?! Luckily, I still had the parcel delivery confirmation in my hands. Then it took the Ministry "only" 3 further reminders to inform me that they are just waiting for the PTT statement. If you are expecting happyend now, you are wrong. A week ago, the customs sent me a message saying the time limit for submitting all the necessary documents was up and therefore the parcel was going to be shipped back to the USA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Could the parcel be re-shipped to OK instead? Impossible! Yes, the outcome of all this is that I paid US $130 at customs today and my longed-for K3 (not even did I see it!) is on its way back to USA.
Welcome to Algeria...ยจ But, I'm still happy for the 7X licence ...... 73!
