In Reply to: Luggage - Large stripy bags posted by Sue P on Monday, 5. December 2005 at 06:38 Bali Time:
2 months back we took over 1 suitcase (with wheels) 3 striped bags and a wheelchair. Our thoughts were of course that we would save weight on the way over & so we could get more Kilos for clothes etc for the needy. when we got to Bali everything was still intact , tape held up on the striped bags and all was well, but when we got to customs they wanted to know what was in the striped bags. We answered ofcoure clothes etc for charity ( the wheelchair gave us away as well) Customs then wanted to see a letter from the Charity group we were giving them to,
to Make a very long complicated story short they let us go through with a warning
Moral of the story We wont use striped bags next time
