    Well now , Customs have informed me to pay them to inspect the crates so they are now obviously in the port of Fremantle Perth.
    They must have changed ships in Singapore a few weeks back as the container ship One Stork started heading to China after Taiwan
    Exciting stuff

    Even if the ship sank, the lifeboats they are embedded in would finish the journey.

    Probably, right up and to the point where he discovered that Trey forgot to add a critical component to the crossovers that renders them useless for now. But hey, no worries. Trey will ship them out after the holidays.
