I HATE CUSTOMS
They confiscated my poker chips... [profanity removed by moderator. continued use of this sort of language will result in de-activation of your account].
Have you ever get stuff confiscated in customs?
I want to complain to them, what are they going to do with poker chips.
This country its so boring and when we try to set a poker game at home they confiscated the chips. [profanity removed by moderator again. see above for consequences].
Am angry today.
Top Trumps - that crispy stuff that is fryed or grilled, that goes well with eggs and even makes vegetarians salivate!!!!!!

Although I had to line up to collect the Hair Dressing scissors which were taken from me at London Heathrow. Had to queue up behind all these big blokes collecting hunting knives and AK45s etc. HA !
However, the same year (1982 & Saddam in full power) the lady customs officers at Baghdad Airport departures took my nail polish remover off me (fair enough) and wanted to confiscate my casette of home recorded Golden Oldies!
I fought them over that one - and they eventually let me keep it. Goodness knows what they thought I'd recorded on it to take home to UK.
they let my poker chips through!!!!

No kidding.
I had the EXACT same problem about 2 weeks ago. They opened all my boxes and took my poker chips.
You can get them back if you leave Doha within 4 weeks. Just go to Customs in the Cargo place and tell them to put the chips into the departure lounge and you can pick them up from there.
Skanky...r u okay??? (awake}??
Then why did you come to Qatar if you hated the customs as u previously said..
You are not made to stay here if you didn't like the way things are!!
Wake up and smell the roses...well..sun/sand!!!
So far my only complain to Aramex is the time. You can check your inbox at US or UK and always take between 10 to 14 days to get here.
But yesterday the customs confiscated my chips.
Is there any other PO Box service like Aramex?
Cheers.

Because gambling in any form (whether for fun or profit) is not allowed in Qatar or any Muslim country

How you doing today?
You know I was thinking if they really destroy all the confiscated material, or they take it home.
In my country and many countries in the world, the customs are one of the most corrupted places.

Tallg You are right, but am allowed to complain...
Maxmo I know they are doing there job but come on. What harm will do to the society that skanky plays poker at home... am not going to play at the corniche in front everyone.
QT, Thanks for the tip, now I will go every day to the bank and shops to change some Riyals for Dirhams...
The Venezuelan Sensation!!!
Well Skanky, the law is the law and we rised in these countries!

What would you do if you were siting in his place???
Trust me, someone else would have posted this article talking about you... :-)
We have to respect and appriciate that atleast some one is doing his/her job promptly...
I order a skype phone and it was confiscated. These phones are available in the shops but as per customs, its an illegal item.
Even they did not let me have one Windows Vista remote control that was in the same package.
skanky - you do realise why the confiscated them? Annoying as it may be they're just doing their job.
my laptop is wanted in 15 countries for excessive tail shaking :)
