Fireworks anyone????
Original Message   May 31, 2005 9:01 pm
Anyone have a beet on where I can get some new mortar tubes??  I need 2", 3", 4", and 6" tubes.  No, I cant sell any fireworks, so dont ask, but all my tubes got left out last year in the rain and ruined.  Now I have my Shells but just realized I'm tubeless.  If anyone knows where ya can buy the material to make them please let me know.  My supplier of shells told me he had none, and couldnt point me in the right direction here.  thanks in advance if anyone knows.

Great Bill!

Hey if they have them I can pick them up and I can box them at my home and ship them myself either US mail or UPS, it's not like they inspect what is inside the boxes or anything.  If I can help it comes down to time to pick them up and get them to you.  Again any help I can be let me know.

Chris... UPS does inspect their boxes now. What if a terrorist is smuggling biological weapons? Or mabie somebody has a rocket launcher in a box. Dude, they have to inspect the boxes now to protect our country.

If they do Chris this is the first I have heard of it and I ship UPS all the time with my radio hobby.  IF they do I am sure the seller will tell Bill and he would tell me.  It is all about trying to help out a fellow forum member and I don't see the company up here looking to get anyone in trouble.

The customs officers were probably having some difficulty figuring out whether processed poppies, cocoa plants, and cannabis still qualified as vegetables or whether they were vegetable producing products.

I do not believe UPS/Fed Ex inspect every package for the contents.

I did some checking, I was wrong.

UPS hub near me has 100% package inspections - you're supposed to bring in your shipments unsealed for them to inspect your packaging. So, it's kinda impossible to not tell them what you're shipping. I don't know if they are all this way but I would suspect so.
