The parcel has reached India, however UPS guys are really slow in responding and clearing the consignment.

I have been trying to contact since the parcel had reached India.

Very Very slow response. The only point of contact was their toll free number and they don't provide any additional info.

Finally I got in touch with the UPS Clearance team now they have mentioned that the pellets are of restricted item.

They want another 3 more days to release the parcel.

100% Deepak.

Tomorrow is a public holiday in Mumbai due to the elections.

So the UPS guys will work on clearing the parcel only on Wednesday.

Interesting question.

However getting your .22 from customs is a big question mark.

You can take the risk 8)

Don't try ordering without a club membership. That will end you up in BIG trouble.
