    Thank Jeebus!

    With my entire Wedding outfit being sent from Scotland, this does not bode well for me. It's supposed to be here May 1st. What method of shipment should I ask the company to use and does anyone else have any opinion on making sure I get my stuff the week before the wedding?

    Dave,

    No guarantee on any method of shipment. Seems as though UPS and FEDEX "might" get here quicker but at a, possible, hefty customs duty and handling/processing fee. Check out other comments on this thread for better advice!

    Contact your retailer and see what method they use to ship. Hope it's already ordered!!

    Good luck, my friend. Have a great wedding!

    Cheers mate! I'll call them to ask. I'm so much worried about paying duty/tax as I am getting my package in time, as you may imagine.

    Hi Dave,

    As stated above...no sure way to guarantee anything coming in from Scotland. My first order was a tank from Marchbrae. It came UPS and was here in a week! Unreal!!! I never got a customs notice, to my delight. Phew!!!!! My second item was sent by Xmember, Paul, and it took three weeks for delivery, as it was stuck in customs. Again, I had no duty tax..Paul shipped it as a gift after picking it up at St. Kilda. Hope this helps.
