As I said, the box looks suspicious as hell, so I wouldn’t blame the customs people for holding it up and taking a look “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

It’s a full on rainproof backpack really. The bag seems like a good, high quality bag. Logo/Olympic Rings on front and back. A nice little prize for sure. Pretty cool all-in-all. It comes in what is possible the shifty looking box of all-time Box is labeled with a letter that features a small green line on it. Wording should be in French. Honestly I am kinda disappointed since there is no letter from Lausanne 2020 which I can put in a frame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I was hoping some sort of letter, badge, pin, or something too. To be fair, it’s a nice bag (and it will be very helpful in wet weather since I inline skate to school) so I can’t really complain. “Sport has the power to change the world.

Vojthas 947 Posted February 12, 2020 #1356 Share Posted February 12, 2020 (edited) @Olympian1010 @Griff88 - no adventures with customs office? Lucky you. The bag is already in my post office, but I need to wait for it a little bit and give them a bunch of papers I don't have like... confirmation of payment. Fuck Polish burocracy.

Lol lemme tell you my story: I delayed the retrieving for 2 days because the customs imposed heavy tax and I studied the regulations to make sure I'm not being scammed by the customs. Turns out the amount was correct. To make things worse, if the bag arrived a day earlier the old tax regulations will be still in force and it will be like 20-25% cheaper. Shit, quiz winners should be exempt from tax. I feel like I'm not winning, it's more like I'm buying this bag on discount. But since I had to stay until 1 AM to win this (while being sick), I decided to take it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
