A cry from the wilderness for help

A big no-no

Hey XSives....

As many people know, I live in England. England is now dominated and completely under the tyranny of a political entity known as the European Union which we were gulled into joining in the 1970's as a 'common market' for trade only. Now, Britain, which fought with our US cousins to liberate Europe from the domination of the Axis forces at great human cost, is now ruled by Brussels, with Germany in the background calling the shots. The 'common market' became a political and economic union which has superseded our own Parliament. They are the people who brought us the straight banana, nonsensical regulations making us 'conform' to such things as domestic wiring, agricultural policy, what we sell, grow and how we do it, measure it, drive it, pay taxes on it etc....... With me so far?

Well, the European Union last year banned PJ1 Satin Black Case Paint because it's supposedly hazardous to everything and almost a WMD. It was off the market for about 8 months and was finally rereleased with major changes to the formula in order to become a 'straight banana' for Brussels. However, it is nowhere near as good as it was before the ban and subsequent modification to the formula. Today, I received a call from the President of the company, Mr PJ Harvey who called in response to my email about the product. He assured me that the PJ1 sold in the USA is the original, tried and trusted formula.

So, I'm wondering if someone in the USA would be able to look into buying on my behalf a case of this product and shipping it to me by surface mail (since aerosols can't be sent by air?? is this true?). Any volunteers? It comes in cases of a dozen cans, I believe. I've tried buying direct from US sellers but they won't ship here because of the air freight restriction on aerosols.......

I'm hoping that someone in the 'land of the free' (and, presumably bent bananas and ability to weigh them in lbs and oz without being fined) could maybe help me out??

I was just certified for HAZ-MAT shipping and shipping aerosol cans by air is a HUGE no-no. The fines, if caught are HUGE. One of the examples given was just this sort of thing as a can exploded in a hold and almost crashed a plane. Airlines are even more strict as they tend to go "above and beyond" most Government regulations. Just thought I would pass this along. Sorry to be a party pooper but I hate to see anyone get into trouble. See if you can't get it included in a shipment via "slow boat" container. And about that "Land of the Free", it is as long as we follow the rules.

Just an idea since you've talked with the owner already, what if he were to ship to you a can of paint, no aerosol just a straight can of paint packaged per hazmat guide lines? Just a thought.
Cheers!

Try Europe. Nobody can do anything any more.
