I seriously recommend only EMS shipping to Russia!
Seul, take note…

Beetle can ship from Yekaterinburg to my Moscow address (or we organize a meet-up and hand-over somewhere in Russia) and I'll pass on to Rüdi via my Berlin address.

This should keep cost and, most of all, risks low!

[Giles]

We recommend from UK, UPS not Parcel Force (EMS).  We have "lost" so many shipments using EMS in Russian customs, that we seriously considered stopping selling to Russia.

[FOXY]

Yeah, UK's ParcelFarce sucks, no matter which country they are supposed to ship to!
So far I have been receiving all my Russia packages from Japan via EMS - never lost a single package in 4 years…
Anyhow, don't go with something that does not provide genuine tracking within Russia.

[Adman103]

Psyched for this.  Glad to be on the DD crew!

[Seul]

FOX: will use my old trusted system. Tracked. Have shipped to Russia before (with some love), and it's all good.

[FOXY]

How about:
Seul - Belgium
Swiss-Jeansfreak - Swiss
Foxy - Berlin/Moscow
Beetle - Russia (Yekaterinburg)
Dannyinz - Australia

Keeping the carbon footprint low, the shipping to a minimum and the risk as well?

[spitfiredealer]

i did it in the order i did because i was concerned with the jeans getting to AUS from Russia. Is there less chance of things going wrong leaving Russia than going in?

[Seul]

I reckon Beats will use UPS to Australia…

[FOXY]

Another option would be that I take care of getting them in and out…

• 2 weeks Berlin/Moscow
• 4 weeks Yekaterinburg (Beetle)
• 2 weeks Moscow/Berlin

This is starting to sound like a James Bond movie! I like it.

Foxy I will take your lead on this as I have never shipped to Russia and know nothing about their postage service.

So if you are happy to do that then your mission is get the ducks in and out of Russia in one piece!

@spitfiredealer:

This is how it works.  A number of people "sign-up" to the tour, they then take it in turns to wear the jeans, documenting what they do, the location they live in etc, in this thread for one month.  At the end of the month, the jeans are cleaned and posted on to the next person in line.  Repeat until they fall apart…..(that para was a Giles Edit.....)

Reading the past few posts has made my day! I can't wait to see what kind of shape these are in when I get them!

OK - Seul will ship them to Berlin, I will smuggle them into the country and "sell" them to Beetle like in the Soviet-era times.

I will ask some of my friends to give us some insights from that time and what is was like trying to own things like foreign recordings, nylons and (Levis) jeans; how much they cost and/or how many kilos of caviar they were traded for with them foreigners…

[Finkster]

This Double Double World Tour sounds like a 'cold war spy movie' … excellent! 

[sest]

Waiting for the Double Indigo 666 tour schedule…

[spitfiredealer]

[den1mhead]

Awesome job getting the tours this far @spitfiredealer

[scarfmace]

Can't wait for it to be March - April for multiple reasons

[spitfiredealer]

Nearly time to kick these tours off.

I will be starting 2 new threads this weekend. @Brock are you ready with the 666's?
