howdy all
a mate in east timor sent me a gift of a kilo of roasted timorese coffee he picked up from a factory. he forewarned me about two weeks ago (postage is exceptionally slow) it was coming and it arrived today.
what i found on the box was a customs sticker which said opened by australia post for inspection by quarantine and when i opened the package it became apparent customs had slit open the bag it was in (which i can understand why) and then dumped the bag back in the box without resealing it (which i dont understand why). i am pretty peeved because the coffee is now stale and pretty useless to me. not having any experience with quarantine in this regard, is this ok? I just figure if they clear it through i.e. no heroin, they should have returned it to the state it was in originally...
