farrasdevell Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 I had the same nightmare of expiry. fastest thing would be to chase up the site owner Link to post Share on other sites
bankz5152 Posted April 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 Doing so. Just also trying to avoid the usual 8 weeks of purgatory. Equally annoyed with UKARA not emailing telling me it has expired! Link to post Share on other sites
TheFull9 Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 Far as I know UKARA themselves never do, or at least they never have for me. Luckily the actual skirmish site where I'm a member (and who update my entry on the database) have a good system running where they send me a letter just before the expiry each year.

Tisane Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 They did for me a week ago, and last year too. Would screenshot the email but there's a lot of personal details around that email. It goes along the lines of your UKARA is about to expire and that your site has been contacted with the same email too. In the event of any enquiries contact your regular site not UKARA admin....blah blah blah. Link to post Share on other sites
TheFull9 Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 Hm.. interesting. Guess they just don't have my e-mail, the self checker has never worked for me which might explain things. Link to post Share on other sites
Feyd Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 They send out automated mails on these (did you get the email saying you were registered?), someone probably made a spelling mistake on your email address, double check it with your site when you get them to update it...

Skarclaw Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 so you register with a site, who in turns passes your detail onto ukara, who in turn pass your details to BORDER FORCE "What would ya say...ya do here" Link to post Share on other sites
FireKnife Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 Wait, so you don't remember the anniversary you share with your missus ability to purchase guns? I must admit I would do my best to not buy anything around the time that I am due to for such a renewal but this is another reason why I have a 'skirmish diary' instead. So long as it has pics in it then it can't go out of date. However it does mean it takes me a little while extra to get airsoft guns at shops but easier and cheaper than site memberships / UKARA . Still good to hear it would all be sorted this time. 'FireKnife' Link to post Share on other sites
bankz5152 Posted April 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 Dude i have no idea when my anniversary with my gf of 7 years is. I often actually forget how old i am, dates and time and things that are not strong with me... Ive got many people working on the situation so with any luck ill have my 416 by next week In the mean time I think the Customs Email & Phone No. should become a sticky somwhere. 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 times easier than sodding about with thos automated phone things.

FireKnife Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 How old are y......... wait don't answer that, it will probably confuse you . Plus I learned from an early age to remember anniversaries after being nut shot by an old GF for forgetting . 'FireKnife' Link to post Share on other sites
bankz5152 Posted April 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 Thats why me n mine work. Neither of us can remember just that we think its some time between june and august lol. On my phone, my spelling will suck. Link to post Share on other sites
bankz5152 Posted April 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 Deffinatley worth ringing them if a parcel is detained for any reason. It should have take 20 - 30 days to clear but the chap a the other end has been lovley and expedited it so theres a chance Ill have it for Longmoor Sunday . Will just have to collect from the Depot, which has moved closer to me! The details should deffinatley be made a sticky somwhere... Link to post Share on other sites
Habakure Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 Just to chime in on ukara updating you. I got an email a few days before my memebership expired. Haven't renewed it yet due to not sticking to a site and just keeping a skirmishes diary. Might join up with a new site as it is easier with ukara, than having a diary.

DrAlexanderTobacco Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 so you register with a site, who in turns passes your detail onto ukara, who in turn pass your details to BORDER FORCE "What would ya say...ya do here" THE SITE OWNERS ARE NOT PEOPLE PERSONS I AM A PEOPLE PERSON WHAT DON'T YOU PEOPLE UNDERSTAND?!?!

bankz5152 Posted April 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 Ive emailed myself the renewal email to all my accounts and moved to its own folders. So its always there reminding me now. Link to post Share on other sites
steelfallenangel Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 Maybe you guys can clear this up for me then.I know you need so many attended games to be registered as a skirmisher with Ukara. But after that initial registration do most fields require that frequent of a commitment to speak on your behalf? I mean if the following year around the same time, if you hadn't been able to get out many times would a field just kinda drop you and not re-register you or are they pretty lenient when you get to this stage?

AceOfSkulls Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 Depends on the field and how well the staff know you and how nice they are. Link to post Share on other sites
bankz5152 Posted April 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 Collected today. Failed... The guy became very aggressive with me when i asked about the fees, stated the relevant information but he became very anrgy about it. Not going to bother complaining as it wont change anything. Does mean the fee probably has to paid... Also barefaced lied to me stating that 'HMRC charge that not parcel force' i corrected him of course but he wasnt having any of it. On my phone, my spelling will suck. Link to post Share on other sites
