its not USA it is in UK...

[yotano211]

Oh sorry, the little flag thing is not showing up.

Still, with the olympics right now, UK customs are on high level. I would still expect a search.

Lots of suppliers from other countries are refusing to ship to the UK cuz of the wait time from the olympics.

i know EMS was getting delays but thourt DHL was ontop of that?

[GreenBean]

Nope, most of the agencies have some delays.

It appears to have cleared Hong Kong in less than 3 hours.

That's not unreasonable.

Nothing more after 06:30am?

Next update should define the situation more.

I'd wait a little longer B4 having a panic.
Good Luck

Never seen this before.

I use DHL for all my orders, usually 1 or 2 per week arriving into the UK. The longest I have ever seen a custom clearance take is 2 hours. This is at East Midlands hub.

I would agree with nobody999 that it could be seized. Have you phoned them to find out what the issue is?
