Seized?

[MaGilicuti]

I ordered some stuff from the far east about 2 fridays ago. Sent the viles express. He sent usps and in the status it says

Your item is being processed by United States customs.

that can't be good...
if that stuff doesn't come in my cycle is gonna be shot. I know you should always wait to have everything on hand but I just wanted to get started....

Express from the East????????

Consider it a loss, and use your head next time.

Everything that comes into the USA is processed by customs. That alone doesn't mean it was seized. However, and express package from the far east is very risky. Hope you get your gear bro.

ill give it 80% it makes it thru.....no biggie

 

[Dogballs]

thats not necesarliy a bad thing, if it gets sent to another customs location your screwed.

Processed by US customs means just that.....if the processing goes outside of 3 days you could have a problem. You can always call EMS directly.....I assume becasue you have a usps track number it was sent via that method. The number is 1800 - 222 - 1811. Sombat

if it stays in customs for longer than a weekthan its good as gone. i have a package that was siezed and i have arleady gotten the seisure letter. i can still track it tough and is saus "being processed by us customs" its gone tough. ide be expecting a seisure letter before your gear. sorry bro, hope im wrong!!!!

I WOULD NOT CALL THEM FROM A PHONE THAT CAN BE TRACED!

If your package has been seized and you call to ask about it, it gives them evidence that you were expecting a package. Very bad. Just clean out your house & emails, be patient, and next time think about where you are ordering from.

You know, I must say that I am confused somewhat by this express issue. Is getting tabs express the way to go? The man himself told me this just Sat. I had the impression after reading posts for months that reg. mail was the way to go for all eastern purchases. What gives? I figured that express drew more attention. My problem is the same as many have had, I'm waiting on stuff that seems like it should have been here. Then, I am told directly that I should have went express because I could have received in a few days. Next time, what is the answer?

 

[MaGilicuti]

other opinions?

You shouldn't have stuff sent express.
For some reason it gets more scrutiny then the rest.
Just have them send it regular mail.
You should always wait till you have everything on hand to start your cycle.
I hope you get your stuff, i would say that if it's more than 5 days in custom, consider it a loss. Then again, with all the crap going on it could just be taking longer.
good luck.
