feelingABANDONED

Got bad news the other eve, seems that Customs declares a container abandoned if it sits for 45 days without being cleared. No matter that every week I'm jumping thru some sort of hoop, signing papers up the wazoo, and having AND passing an inspection! How can they do this now? All I had was one more paper to sign... Or so they said.

I find out "lifting the abandon" is possibly, with a lawyer and a MONTH! What?! Not only would that be storage fees of $2000 we can't afford a lawyer! What a scam!

So close to walking away, but damnit we really want our stuff! Tvs, computer, video equipment, lighting equipment, bikes, furniture, SHOES, the list goes on! But, our landlord did score us a free couch, and a neighbor is selling one, so we buy his too. Lamps and rugs go a long way to making the house a home, so it'll be ok. (But we still want our stuff)

Keep your fingers crossed, and donate if you can, we really need all the help we can! Thanks y'all, Muah!
