Mean Machine Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 Now, since we're all tired of this M.Beier (at least us in Europe), I figured we'd give ourselves a break. Therefore, I've created the "Send Beier to Computex in a crate" foundation, which strives towards making Europe M.Beier-free for week 23 of 2012. The idea is that we will get hold of a crate big enough, and send him to Taipei by UPS. Unfortunately, there is an issue with having to ship him in one piece, logistics wise, but I'm not confident laws will allow us trying to reassemble him. As an added incentive for Mr. Beier himself, he will be given the opportunity to be the star of a sure-fire hit-documentary called "Boxed In" where he will document his 48-72 hours of being treated as the unnecessary cargo he is, food and supplies will all be paid for with donations - enough batteries for the camera to last 10-15h of footage during the trip, a cozy blanket, etc. I feel you all are itching to support the cause. Make Europe a Beier-free zone for W23. And become a part of the best documentary you'll ever see at the same time. Use the button below. Quote
K404 Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 I LOL'd Then I realised you might be serious and LOL'd some more Quote
Mean Machine Posted February 13, 2012 Author Posted February 13, 2012 It's okay. I'm VAT registered. It's totally legit. Quote
K404 Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 So are most gangsters, doesn't mean leit Al Capone went to prison for tax evasion. A smart man learns from others mistakes (Not suggesting you're a gangster, just a relevant example! ) Quote
Mean Machine Posted February 13, 2012 Author Posted February 13, 2012 For real, any money donated will go towards actually sending him to Computex. With UPS. It's the persuasion bit that might need some gangster tactics... And duct tape. Quote
Massman Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 I've a more practical question: What can of value will you put on the package for customs? If the value is too high, you need to pay a higher price. Will my donation contribute to that as well? Quote
Mean Machine Posted February 14, 2012 Author Posted February 14, 2012 All donations will go towards getting ri... Ehm, transportation costs. I'll just declare it as "bacon" for €50. Quote
Hiwa Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 50eu value? …….. Nah isn't to much? Donated 5eu for shipping…. Quote
Mean Machine Posted February 14, 2012 Author Posted February 14, 2012 Well, it'll be heavy, and if it's declared as bacon, they'll figure 90kgs (50kg crate, 40kg Marc) of bacon is worth more than 50€. Maybe I can declare it as water and declare the value as 5€ instead. Contents are ~75% water anyway. Quote
Massman Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 Have you calculated the approximate shipping costs? Quote
Hiwa Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 Have you calculated the approximate shipping costs? wait wait i am looking for a cheaper one , UPS costs a lot , we have 3 months time to ship him so some normal post wil be ok... Quote
TaPaKaH Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 IIRC, the international laws do not allow shipping of live animals via regular package so you'll have to pre-kill him first Quote
Crew Leeghoofd Posted February 14, 2012 Crew Posted February 14, 2012 (edited) Donated Jonas... I want pictures though otherwise I want my money back ! Edited February 14, 2012 by Leeghoofd Quote
Mean Machine Posted February 14, 2012 Author Posted February 14, 2012 IIRC, the international laws do not allow shipping of live animals via regular package so you'll have to pre-kill him first This can be arranged for a small additional donation. Think of it like the collection in church. Donated Jonas... I want pictures though otherwise I want my money back ! As said in the opening post - there will be a full documentary supporting it. Quote
SF3D Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 My suggestion: Cargo train from Denmark to Vladivostok (Nice trip in Russian winter). Then cargo ferry to North Korea and in there mules will carry him through country (I hope starved people wont see the text bacon on the side of box) Then direct cargo ferry to Taiwan. Should be quite cheap, but I will donate a lot of money anyway! Bye Marc! Quote
Mean Machine Posted February 14, 2012 Author Posted February 14, 2012 That ferry itinerary looks interesting. Is that the Typhoon special? Quote
M.Beier Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 But I fit into luggage? Isnt a normal travel suitcase and 14hr flight an option? Quote
Crew Trouffman Posted February 15, 2012 Crew Posted February 15, 2012 I will participate only if it's a One Way trip and No return possible Quote
Mean Machine Posted February 15, 2012 Author Posted February 15, 2012 But I fit into luggage? Isnt a normal travel suitcase and 14hr flight an option? Well, you're bound to weigh more than 22kgs anyway. Not much, but a little. Trouffman: Yeah, I haven't specified return shipping. Only looked up shipping costs to Taipei. Quote
Monstru Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 Ah....I think you missed something, dear gangster...some of us will be attending Computex... What did we do wrong? Quote
Mean Machine Posted February 15, 2012 Author Posted February 15, 2012 I didn't really consider that. I can start a separate fundraiser for "have M.Beier stay away from Computex", see who wins. Quote
