Botony Container Terminal

It was one of those classic tales... I arrived at the terminal to pick up 2,500 copies of my book at the dock. Well, you guessed it, nothing is easy. There I was with a 4WD and a trailer surrounded by semi's and the like with the truck drivers all chuckling... The 1004kg pallet of 'my books' couldn't be split for 'safety' reasons and my poor trailer almost split in two when the forklift driver placed the pallet load onto it. I had to drive it 50 metres out of the compound so I was technically outside their domain. Here I could break MY PALLET of books down and place most of them into the back of my 4WD... the tyres on the trailer were almost having a heart attack with the weight.... grrrr......
Now, the NZ consignment has been selected for a random customs audit... laughing... it's crazy stuff DIY and I wouldn't have it anyother way... out there 'do'in it'
