Yesterday I received a voice message from the shipping company about my empennage kit, so I called them back this morning. Over the course of the day we exchanged about ten mails and five or six phone calls until the packages were cleared through customs. The whole thing reminded me a bit of Asterix' famous permit A38, but fortunately the clerk at the shipping company did the hard work.
Knowing that they would deliver the empennage today, I stayed at home and waited for the truck. It arrived just after lunch time, and the driver looked very confused about the address. He expected some company, not a residential area, and he was very glad when I confirmed that the packages were indeed for me.
I had to go to work after receiving the kit, so the unpacking had to wait till the evening. Opening the boxes was like Christmas! And everything was very well packed.
I have a very dear friend visiting me on the weekend, so the inventory will have to wait until next week.
