They asked me for my email address, then they wanted:
to know the detailed contents of the package and their value (thank you for ruining the surprise :-( )
a statement telling them that all the clothes in the package were not made of cats, dogs or any other endangered species (wtf!);
a statement telling them that the contents were a present from Nokia and I don't run any kind of import-export business.
Sigh...

[quote author="CreMindES" date="1294764384"]Stuk, Immii, Alexandra, sooner or later everybody get contacted by TNT, bacause of the customs. And in the email there is consignment number that you can type in at "TNT's Track package site":http://cgi.tnt.co.uk/trackntrace/trackntrace.asp, and voila there are all the updates about the package.
paulo don't be afraid, TNT is a quite well delivery company, they will ship it to you in a few days ;)[/quote]
I am still to get any email phone or any tracking number. It is totally blank at my end.
Hope nothing goes wrong at US custom office. -

Reading this, I’m starting to believe that our post office is not that bad, it only breaks packages and misdelivers them (they could be found after a year or more, in worst cases —.—), and doesn’t really steal them.
Though, unlike Italian post, it is not private, but government’s... Hope you’ll get all your packages safely, and posts won’t get too interested of them of Nokia goods and steal them :)

I am kind of surprize, didnt nokia declared while sending the gifts what things are in the packet??
I remember few months back I was sending some small electronic device and Fedex asked to declare what things are there in the packet. -

Grrr, I still haven't received. :)
Yesterday I saw the program "Spaniards in the world", and the chosen place was Oslo (nice place, BTW). I hope this is the right signal, and I receive the package today, because I can't believe Barcelona is that far away from Oslo than Hessdorf. ;)

It's nearly double:
- Oslo - Frankfurt is 1200 km,
- Oslo - Barcelona is 2150 km :-)

Hehe, yes, that was one of my theories, that maybe the packages go through Frankfurt. But I initially assumed that Oslo->Barcelona was just one "hop" (more or less, since probably many stuff goes through Madrid), so it will be more or less the same to reach any EU city, plus possibly one extra day. But it's Wednesday, I'm still jealous of you. ;-)

I have received it yesterday and the device stays perfect in hand, but I am still using my N8 as my primary phone. N8 was also a gift from Nokia to Qt Ambassadors during the Qt Developer Days 2010 in Munich :)

Meantime I have also received my package (after I have cleared it at the custom). Thanks, it is rather nice phone and I very like the t-shirt, as well.

Bad news, the package arrive to the customs, but in order to deliver it to me, I have to pay U$S200, tomorrow I'll have a conversation with someone from TNT to resolve this problem without having to pay, unfortunately I don't have many hopes. :(
