You will be more than pleased with this purchase.
Top of the line PFD with more than enough room for stuff you will need and some of the best features on the market for a rescue pfd.. Check it out... www.wakawai.com/sitebuildercontent/siteb.../chestrescuebelt.pdf  |

Just hope that you don't get heavily taxed on it... I'm sure that Adrian Tregoning could tell you about that, after he got his Kokatat Rogue drytop. It shouldn't be a problem from a family member, but you never know... What was the reason that you chose the River Monster over other rescue PFDs?

If the package is labeled gift they normally don't tax you as i've had a few things sent to me from the states and requested when ordering to be labeled a gift package and wasn't charged anything. And these purchases were over 200 dollars.....

I had a loook around at other pfd's , saw the astral green jacket & tried it on - looked well made but did't really suit me , plus my mother is/was in the UK & coming home nookie is made in the uk , so asked her to get it for me & heard good reports about it , tho liked the top stohlquest PFD aswell , it was really a toss up between the stohlquest & the Nookie ( prefer quality)
I have a bliss stick scud that recently got & practicing heaps at the moment (for upcoming class 4 + here NZ ) , bought a cheapy PFD for the time being until i get it . |

In South Africa, you're only allowed 1 'gift' per year not exceeding a value of about 30 US$. They have your name/address on their system afterwards and have no problems opening ones package to look inside.. Sucks big time. And this is supposed to be a 3rd world country where systems like these don't work! I guess they've got their priorities on catching a few guys importing stuff for cheap and leaving the real criminals out there to give us one of the highest crime rates in the world...
 I've been hammered with tax before, not fun. Waiting on another shipment for something else, let's see what happens, it's pretty big and obvious  Hope it sneaks through in NZ!! Sure it will.. Nothing better than new toys in the post!  |
