However, he has advised us that unless PSS personally pack our stuff ALL of it WILL be opened by customs and then we are liable for the time that that takes, at $80/15 mins AND THEN, PSS will charge us for the time to re-pack it all. Are they taking the PSS or what? Are they REALLY going to come round, UNPACK all 115 boxes and then RE-PACK them? Anyone out there packed it all themselves?
