Rang them again this week to see how it is going as I need it ASAP for a purchase from the snake ranch + I need an import licence and they couldn't find my renewal application. So I re-faxed it out to them, rang up again & was told they had recieved it yet again & to call back the following afternoon to confirm it had been done (they were going to do it asap for me). Did as I was told but now everytime I call NPWS licensing department I get an answering machine stating they are backlogged and running very far behind. Still waiting for a return phone call and nothing has been charged to my credit card. Urghhhhh!!! |

Urghhhhh!!! | Amazonizan, that is exactly what has happend to me, My licence expired in october 07 and I havent received anything. I sent a money order in with the renewal and I rang 2 weeks later, and they said they got it, they just have to proccess it, but they said because they received it, I could go about with all my buisness (purchasing and selling.) But I need an import licence to get a gecko from Sdaji. Well, 2 months later, and after 3 phonecalls, I get either: Your licence has expired and we havent received a renewal form...........OR.........Ring back in 2 weeks to see how its going....I've been doing that for the past 2 months and no luck with the bastards. 
That place has to lift their game.

The offices are really overworked, they need to hire more people. And think... I have to send the bloody thing back in April...

Be much easier and the government still has their licence system.
