Thread: Advice: strange call from a logistics company after AliExpress delivery

Righto Gents,

I have just had a call from a freight company after I had a few things delivered yesterday from AliExpress, the items in question are as follows:

1 Mlok QD sling mount
2 chamber flags
1 sling adaptor (basically a round piece of webbing with a metal D loop.

The guy seemed in a bit if a panic as it turns out that they released these prior to the customs check and are now asking me to send them back to him so they can be checked by customs. The strange thing is this came from a random mobile, outside of normal working hours and he also asked if he could "meet at my address to speak in person" which I politely declined.

I have asked for an email from both the company and customs showing exactly what is needed as this made me feel a bit uncomfortable.

I'm sure this hasn't happened to anyone else but was looking for advice on what is the best course of action moving forward.

As far as I am aware the items I ordered are not restricted and could easily be used on an airsoft gun vs a rifle. Have I missed something here?

Cheers all.
