Yes.. And the package sent to WMPL was sent back due to customs
problems, which in Poland are more tricky when the package is sent to
organisation or company - no to the person.I don't know about other EU
countries but it might be similar - starting from January 1st 2011 in
order to receive package from customs a company or institution needs
to have EORI number
(http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/dds/eorihome_en.htm) - in Poland
it takes around 2 weeks to get it. In our package there was also
missing a "letter of origin" without which it is impossible to go
through customs. I think for future actions of this kind it will be
better if one of EU chapters prints and sends promotional materials to
other EU chapters...
