[QUOTE="GX40, post: 4312435, member: 23851"]thank you, the Kings Palace is not as you think about the Kings and Queen's in Western Worlds. The King is called the 'Fon' and there are lots and lots of them in Cameroon. It is not the fon who approves things, it is actually the elders, who go off the views of the village. The Fon rubber stamps everything in accordance with how everyone wants to do it. Yes everything is above board, they were keen to take my money for their water project and also they were struggling with health issues re COVID. I bought them directly from the village and spoke to the Fon himself and his elders who agreed the deal. Ask any questions, ask away as I have nothing to hide. I have a receipt with a signature, they are legitimately mine. It took a good 2 or 3 weeks for them to arrive in the UK as they had to transport them to Douala and then go through the fumigation process etc to make sure the wood didn't have any nasties in them to bring to the UK. When you say, 'have them authenticated by a proper authority' - who exactly is that? Do you know? Many thanks![/QUOTE]
