OMG I see the winds in Vancouver are 15 km/h from the East. Sorry for the incredibly bad news but by my calculations this may delay ship tie-up by 3.67 seconds.

I've found that when you have to wait a long time for a gun you want, the best solution is to buy a couple more to distract you.

Basically, just keep buying more guns.

Ya but the ship's Captain and Engineer read CGN and boosted the turbo's and added octane booster to the fuel to make up for it though, so we're still good.

Just FYI guys, it takes ocean vessels about a day or two to offload containers, then putting a full container onto a railcar will typically take 2 weeks+ lately (so arrival in Ontario in a month). If the WHOLE container isn't theirs, it will take a few more days before it gets de-consolidated.

Then there's all the permits and paperwork stuff they need to prep once it has arrived, which can take a week.

This is all of course assuming no preliminary customs examination in Vancouver first for the container.

Then you have Customs Exam Unit in Ontario or wherever it is going, having to schedule an appointment to go inspect the shipment. Possibly having to ship some of the guns over to Ottawa for approval/testing as well first (can happen at random, and probably would for these).

Then you have the usual payment of a billion charges and stuff before freight is released to the importer.

Thanks, looks like she's less than 10 miles from Vancouver now.

 

[crashcollins]

Any CGN'ers standing on shore with binoculars? LOL I'm a little too far away.

 

[ComradeVlad]

hahaha all the Vancouver folk are going to watch the container unload, and then drive right by them on Trans Canada off to Ontario.... lol so close but so far away.

Thank you, you’ve made a lot of anxious people breath a little easier. Now the waiting starts, a lot easier knowing the process has begun and it’s a Canadian internal operation now.

Yes, I acknowledged that in the post above yours. Thanks for giving the knife a twist though, real thoughtful of you. lol

Sorry about that. I should have read to the end of the thread first.

Inspection must be done at port of entry. Not final destination. Unless it's pre-screened by the CBSA at point of departure (which I doubt). Both times I came back from the sandbox we cleared customs in Fredricton as it was the first port of entry.
