 |
|
so i had my dad send me a halloween costume and customs opened it and took it. left no notice- just sent the package half sealed with some mail in from him. wtf???? can they just take and not say anything about it? its a halloween costume- not a threat to f-in korean life. 
is there any way to find out if they have it and get it back??? |

Depends what kind of costume it is. I've had DVDs confiscated for being detrimental to Korea (the original Japanese Ring trilogy... deemed too graphic for Korean sensibilities they said)

The obvious answer is of course to call Customs and ask. |

| Next time, put a Korean name on the package and not your own, and you'll have no problems. |

Probably thought it was some sort of kinky call-girl outfit...  |

Yup... can't have foreigners 'getting in on the action' unless they invest W50,000,000 in a double barber pole.  |

Halloween costumes can be used for robbing banks. And they are already aware at foreigner frustrations at not being allowed mnay bank priviliges (including but not limited to: controlling your own money). It's preemption at work here.  |

Customs stole ALL my six half pound bags of beef jerky! I never got that back.
Idiot bastards, I'm sure they wolfed it down themselves!!! |
