items held by customs
12-11-2012 6:15 AM

hi, anyone had problems by customs. My items has been held by customs for over a week and a half now and they are telling me nothing except that the health department needs to inspect them.

Anyone had similar problems!!!

What country? It happens. Customs won't look at everything, but the small percent they do they really take an interest in. There's nothing you can do but wait, and call them occasionally to see the status and ask if they would like you to send them information on the products. In the situation where the item is stuck at customs and not because it is being inspected, you can usually call and ask them to get moving on the package.

I am from malta, ordered from USA and used fedex. Usually when ordering from other sites and using other couriers, they are here in 5 days, and they pass customs quickly. Today I was contacted by the customs that after intensive review, they were released, 2 weeks after they got here.- 2 weeks for a review!

That really sucks and I wish I had a better answer than that. Really I do whatever I can to ensure they get through the customs process pretty well. I use the correct declarations and am descriptive as possible. Some orders get through in a hot second and others just get stopped and checked. Then again it is the holiday season too.

Sorry that it happened though

I received them today. I need to make it clear that it is not because of the company, it was a coincidence that it happened with my first order because now they told me that they did a sample random batch check. But it still took them two weeks to review as I think they did not know about them.

BTW. Thank you SteveO for the samples and the Christmas bells ;-)
