2 of mine have been charged and should be out for delivery today! still awaiting on another 7 all awaiting customs clearance still! Powerjam, would be interesting to know if they opened your package and inspected the items to identify the charge they needed to apply! hopefully they didnt, and just go by weight or something, im hoping anyway (for the rest of mine) (lol) ;-)

I read it on the telegraph.

Theres a few articles mentioning the delay due to olympics:

BBC News - London 2012: Royal Mail warns of Olympics post delays

Royal Mail expecting delivery delays around London Olympics | Post & Parcel

Olympics will delay post by day - Telegraph

Generally they say it's delayed by an extra day - but i believe it to be longer postal services have a reputation to protect!

I dont get it, you are all saying about parcels being delayed but why the hell are you posting by EMS? Its just slow and boring waiting for it...

I ordered goods on Friday I received today... & there was charges on mine!

Both packages were un-opened!

Just out of interest mate how long till receiving the parcels was it from the first "Awaiting customs clearance" message?

And did they have the double "Awaiting Customs Clearance" message either side of the "Received and Processed" message?

I've got a couple stuck for about 7 days now.

Jemma:

The first one looks strange (clearing customs twice), so perhaps they decided to go over it a second time. The third one is what I get if the parcel has had it value declared to be under the £18/£36 threshold. Although one of my parcels that was delcared correctly with its value above the threshold for "commercial consignments", went through the "awaiting customs clearance" stage but then had no mention of charges; it just went to "national hub received and processed" (their Camden office in London) and then went to the "delivery depot" (for me, their West End depot) and after that, it went out for delivery, and there were no charges at all. I suppose that they just messed up on that one... luckily for me it was full of replica stuff.

The second one looks like it should be delivered any time soon. It now needs to go to the "national hub" and then the delivery depot, and then finally be loaded onto van for delivery.
