that sounds exactly like what happened to me. In fact, I was told NOT to send the claim form in... so crap. So basically i'm gonna have to buy another one.
For those that know, if i'm now buying a mp-05 with a permit, how do I nice and legally get it to my door?!?

Mel, Kup I've removed the link to the actual sale ad from your posts.
That's a huge price to be asking for a Transformer that's not Fort Max!!

The authorities are not communicating properly.
What you need to do is order it and if Customs catch it then you request a B709A from the Firearms Registry by sending them a copy of your Commissioner's Permit. You then need to pick it up from the Customs depot with the original of your B709A permit.

The classifying of MP-5 still bothers me,particularly when i see things like this.A few days ago i was watching a tv show about customs security at australian airports,which featured a woman coming back from the middle east with oranamental swords and daggers,security stopped her and let customs check the items, which were 1 sword roughly a metre long and a number of daggers that had serated edges all were made of hard metal not lead or anything soft looking.Customs waved her through no problems not even a run down of their intended use saying their obviously for ceremonial use.these were deadset weapons that maime or kill people and they had no issue with them,we should have all claimed Megatron was for ceremonial
use he would have been let straight in. What a complete farse this makes of border security.
