How did you move her from the airport?
Right now I think I'll have to ask a moving company to send 2 people with me to customs but that will probably be more expensive than her overseas trip. Maybe airports always have delivery services that do this kind of stuff all the time? How did you do it? Also, did you open the crate to check for damage at customs?
So much to figure out

You just need to have a good understanding with your shipping partner that you need help to get the crate indoors, and make sure you are willing to pay for it (don't think you can ship it on your sedan).
Make sure you need that crate indoors.

Re: How did you move her from the airport?
that cost me 30 bucks and a rachet strap to secure the crate in place.
The trolley is rated for 300 Kg and I can move crates with the gals in them around easily by myself.....you can them at hardware and auto stores....just a handy tip!

Re: How did you move her from the airport?
So the crate can be moved lying down on the back side? I thought they were all transported upright.
As for the shipping agent - should I be the one to find one or is that something Abyss will/can do?

I handled my crate alone, easily.
Picked up at airport, They put the crate in my pickup truck, on it's back, with a forklift. Yes they are marked 'this way up' for the crate standing upright or on its back, both are acceptable shipping positions.
When I got it home just had to slide it to the back of the truck and tip it and lower it down, then tip it upright so it ends up standing upright on the ground again. With the weight still mostly on the truck tailgate, was easy peasy to do.
Once on the ground, I used a dolly to move her inside the house. Strapped the crate on.
No stairs here.
Re: How did you move her from the airport?
Sometimes the Customs can be an Office near the international airport.
When the package travels togheter with an invoice, the Custom clearance is faster.
Custom clearance may take a few days or a few weeks. This is absolutely normal.
The package can be opened if the documentation is not clear.
I.e. if there is not a waybill on it, and if the content can be suspicious.
But this is not the case of an Abyss crate.
Togheter with crate there is a waybill and an invoice. Then, after customs clearance procedure, the Custom uses a courier for shipping to your adress.
All Customs have couriers in agreement, who do this service.
Be quiet, the doll's crate will arrives up to your home. The courier has a truck with a transpallet or a similar pallet trucks to handle the crate.
The courier is paid to bring the shipment to your door.
Problem can be the stairs without a lift.
Only In this case, you'll need a help.

When the doll arrives in the Netherlands, SEKO Netherlands will call you saying a crate has arrived for you.
If you indicate that you would like them to handle the import process for you and you want the doll delivered to your home, they'll first send you a form to sign, so you give them the right to take care of the import (een machtigingsformulier).
If you have a scanner, or all-in-one printer, that's the easiest, as you can sign the form, scan it, and email it back to them.
You'll also need to send them a copy of your ID, passport, or driver's license, so scan that as well (front and back).
When they receive the form back from you, they'll go to work on the import process. After it's done, they'll send you the invoice with the added taxes, import costs, delivery costs, and what not (around 1200 Euros in 2014, likely more now due to the weak Euro).
If you have electronic banking, you can transfer the money that way, and e-mail them proof of the transfer. They can then immediately plan the final delivery. In my case, that was the day after.
Generally, it'll be just the driver to make the delivery. If he's a nice guy in a good mood, he'll help you get the crate inside the door, but I doubt he'll help carry it up the stairs.
Maybe if you pay him something, who knows...
With my first doll, I asked Seko for delivery up the stairs, which was possible back then, but at a premium cost, as they had to hire a courier service to deliver the doll with two people.
They huffed and puffed carrying the crate upstairs, but it was there.
With my other two dolls, I unpacked in my driveway, with the crate opening pushed onto my door opening, and I carried the dolls upstairs myself.
I have a personal entry, but the apartment itself is upstairs.
If you have any further questions, feel free to send me a PM, I'm happy to help a fellow Dutchman
