Late last week we pulled a shipment addressed to the USA that was marked up as company literature, but was actually Khat.
I understand that it's illegal in the USA and controlled in Canada, and the UK is the main export gateway for the stuff.
We were talking about it, and it got us thinking just how many shipments actually make it across the pond.
Therefore, have any Brown Cafe members seen any khat shipments, or pulled any in your centres in the USA?
We have pulled a few shipments over the past three or months alone here. The shippers use both EDI labels that contain official company account numbers (presumably without its knowledge), and manual waybills that all contain very vague details with no contact names or phone numbers for the shipper.
They also vary between getting the shipments picked up by a driver, and bringing them direct to the centre.
I'm sure they'll be trying again shortly
