Posted February 13, 201213 yr 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.
February 13, 201213 yr 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! )
February 13, 201213 yr Author 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.
February 14, 201213 yr 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?
February 14, 201213 yr Author All donations will go towards getting ri... Ehm, transportation costs. I'll just declare it as "bacon" for €50.
February 14, 201213 yr Author 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.
February 14, 201213 yr 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...
February 14, 201213 yr IIRC, the international laws do not allow shipping of live animals via regular package so you'll have to pre-kill him first
February 14, 201213 yr Crew Donated Jonas... I want pictures though otherwise I want my money back ! Edited February 14, 201213 yr by Leeghoofd
February 14, 201213 yr Author 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.
February 14, 201213 yr 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!
February 14, 201213 yr But I fit into luggage? Isnt a normal travel suitcase and 14hr flight an option?
February 15, 201213 yr Author 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.
February 15, 201213 yr Ah....I think you missed something, dear gangster...some of us will be attending Computex... What did we do wrong?
February 15, 201213 yr Author I didn't really consider that. I can start a separate fundraiser for "have M.Beier stay away from Computex", see who wins.
