Clearance delay and Shipment on Hold?
 

Which one of these is the bad one? Meaning that the shipment is prolly gonna be
seized? From my understanding clearance delay is bad right? And shipment on hold means they are just waiting for the next flight outta there?

Correct. Clearance Delay generally means the package has been selected for closer inspection. So, if any of the contents are counterfeit, or otherwise illegal, they will be seized.

Shipment on Hold can mean several different specific things, but it comes down to a slight delay. It could be wating for the next flight, or the next delivery vehicle, etc.

Kk thanks for fast reply

thanks jeffweico for that news ! just waiting on a dhl shipment from UK sorting office and it says shipment on hold , so from what your saying its on its way . Thank the lord !

Yeah its on its way. Mine said shipment on hold yesterday and during the night it got shipped to another hub and from that hub it got shipped to the destination hub and right now its with the delivery courier. =) They move fast.

shippment on hold is not mean bad news.

Recently many packages have been sent to LA or NY firstly,and then transfered to the destination hub-cinciniti hub.It is DHL problem and they made some mistakes for this.
