DHL someone please calm my nerves....
 

Got a package sent weighs less than 1kg via DHL....just checked the tracking and it says this? Is this small box seized?

Further Detail:
The Clearance process for this shipment is pending till such time that some additional details required for clearance are provided to the regulatory authorities

Next Step:
A DHL representative shall attempt to contact importer or shipper if any further information is required to complete the entry.

Please tell me if any of you guys have gotten this exact notice..thanks!

Re: DHL someone please calm my nerves....
 

Last time i seen this it was a undervalued deal. dhl covered the cost and i repaid dhl. Just my experience good luck

Re: DHL someone please calm my nerves....
 

Is it a legit order or foo-foos?

Re: DHL someone please calm my nerves....
 

UPDATE:

Further Detail:
A clearance other than standard Customs entry is required for this shipment.

Next Step:
Further processing will occur as instructed by the regulatory authority. A DHL representative shall attempt to contact the importer or shipper if further information is required

It 4 foo foo items (small stuff). smallest package iv ever received, usually I get packages over 10kg...could receiving to many packages be an issue? I've got 3 shipments in this month....all made it to me.

Importing foo foo's by DHL?
What could possibly go wrong?

Depending on the type and quantity of goods, you *might* be OK, but you have an exception to deal with, so maybe it's just a matter if paying the undeclared duty/tax if you need to.

Re: DHL someone please calm my nerves....
 

I guess it also depends what kind of foo-foos; IMHO some are risker than others.

Re: DHL someone please calm my nerves....
 

Well I checked it this morning...and It was given a release. I have never scene this. Maybe this post will help someone else to calm down in the future haha

Re: DHL someone please calm my nerves....
 

I think there was paperwork missing on the shipment. Sounds like they had to contact the shipper because documentation was missing on the package, so customs/DHL didn't know what the declared value was and they didn't know whether or not you needed to pay taxes on the import.

Re: DHL someone please calm my nerves....
 

So 1 of 2 things, the label and paperwork are missing so they can't process the clearance.
or your shipper didn't do the right things when shipping it and documents are missing.

Most of the time DHL will just clear it , but there can be times where they'll open the package up for inspection.

Re: DHL someone please calm my nerves....
 

So I have never had a package through DHL get stuck. BUT if one day it does. Do they blacklist your name and address so you can't receive anymore? I was reading somewhere back in 2013 this dudes package was caught and he said the next day he order the same stuff the same exact way and he got it soon after....so maybe this whole address blacklist thing is a myth? Like the only way they could do it is if there system flags your stuff right when it scans the barcode.

Re: DHL someone please calm my nerves....
 

It's 100% a myth.

Re: DHL someone please calm my nerves....
 

How sure are you? LOL

Re: DHL someone please calm my nerves....
 

100% sure.

Re: DHL someone please calm my nerves....
 

Why, if you must buy and sell foo items, do people buy them under their legit info?

Of course it’s much easier to just not sell garbage items to folks in the first place...

Re: DHL someone please calm my nerves....
 

Some of the foo foo is NOT garbage, I sell replicas of a criminal organization and I took one of my replicas to a local shop and they wanted $200 to duplicate, I sell them for $75 and the customers love them, just saying not all foo foo is garbage. Seems to me selling under a ⊗⊗⊗⊗ name is worse than selling foo foo.

Re: DHL someone please calm my nerves....
 

DHL doesn't decide to stop or put your address on any watch list; in this case it's US Customs. They have the right to stop and open packages at any time for inspection. If customs find something they don't like, you'll most likely going to get a notice from them.

A "foo foo" is a "foo foo" is always a "foo foo" if it's not the real thing. ;)

Re: DHL someone please calm my nerves....
 

Mine get inspected a fair amount of the time, about 10% have the green tape customs tape on them and have been opened, I've never been blacklisted.

But I don't under-declare, I don't get knock-offs, and I think I've only owed customs once or twice across the years.

Re: DHL someone please calm my nerves....
 

Thats assuming what your having shipped isnt worth their time building a case .
They can and have let packages be delivered to show proof this is a ongoing thing. Just saying :pop2:

Re: DHL someone please calm my nerves....
 

People like you who sell "replicas" are why people like me are stuck in court suing all the time to protect our brands and have to depend on things like stealth to make a living because of competition stifling. It's garbage, not just for quality but because it hurts peoples businesses. I'm sure your cheap customers do love your knock offs.

:juggle:

Re: DHL someone please calm my nerves....
 

Yep. I buy supplies like blanks, inks, etc from China and never had a package stopped. I also get holiday stuff (Halloween mostly) from there and never had a single issue with a package. Some have taken a decent amount of time to arrive but I have yet to have issues because it's all legit purchases. :cheer:

Re: DHL someone please calm my nerves....
 

Lol why not use your real name then?

Re: DHL someone please calm my nerves....
 

To buy my products from China? I do. I buy them directly and have them shipped to my home because I’m not importing counterfeits. To sell? Competitors have got my legit products shut down and despite court orders websites don’t want to deal with the back and forth so I’ve had to go stealth to literally compete against myself. It’s bs.

It just amuses me how scared people get when buying knock offs and whining about it. If you’re gonna be a scumbag and sell knock offs at least go the extra mile and hide who you are so you don’t come off like a scared kitten when the feds or others come knocking.

Re: DHL someone please calm my nerves....
 

So you finally received it OP?

Re: DHL someone please calm my nerves....
 

If you don't think they track seizures.. you're joking. Google "AED" relating to shipping, they very much do. And just an FYI here in the usa, opioids are being imported by IDIOTS and making it harder to import both legit and other items. I don't even try to import anymore but vibrators, Sure competition is hell, but unless FDA stops it, they aren't foofoos

Re: DHL someone please calm my nerves....
 

Yeah so true. If your going to sell phakes(witch i wouldn't because u will get caught ) you shouldn't use real info.

I just talked to my buddy who works for customs. There is a huge chance ,they are not sure if you are selling them. They will keep allowing the OP to get the shipments and then **** him over one day. The bigger the case the better,according to my friend.

I would sell the phakes you have now and invest in legit products.

Sometimes they allow the illegal **** through for years just saying.

Re: DHL someone please calm my nerves....
 

How many shipments of foo-foos does one need to receive to get in trouble? And i mean, the number of shipments that was either inspected and let though or seized.

Re: DHL someone please calm my nerves....
 

My foo foo is never seized

Re: DHL someone please calm my nerves....
 

Look what he said above. They are most likely letting foo-foos go through so that they can build a case against you.

Re: DHL someone please calm my nerves....
 

After 4 years ???

Re: DHL someone please calm my nerves....
 

There’s numerous stories where the feds have busted people several years into their foo business. Just google common foo items with the word arrest.

Should the day come I doubt claiming the big bad corporate business is a criminal organization is going to work out well for you guys.

Re: DHL someone please calm my nerves....
 

I am not talking about big business I am talking about a CRIMINAL organization? Am I not speaking English??

Re: DHL someone please calm my nerves....
 

Righhhht. :violin:

They're terrible...so your way of sticking it to them is to sell knock offs and continuing to proliferate the desire for their brand.

Re: DHL someone please calm my nerves....
 

It is not a brand, it is a trademarked CRIMINAL organization that deals in drugs, murder and prostitution. So no I do not lose any sleep over it and will take the occasional 7 or 30 day suspension.

It's nice that they have free time to have lawyers monitoring the IP rights of their group. I wonder if the owner is a self-improving boulangerie from Belgium.

Re: DHL someone please calm my nerves....
 

I think that's even worse. That's when it may turn into a criminal case.

IMHO, it's all about exposure to the risk. The longer you're in it, the more risk you take.

Re: DHL someone please calm my nerves....
 

I dont sell foo foo stuff. It was this one time i decided i wanted something. Anyways yes I did get them. Thanks guys for your help. Good luck to those who are actually selling foo foo's. LOL

Re: DHL someone please calm my nerves....
 

To each his own then.

Whatever justification lets you sleep at night... until it doesn't.

My understanding is they get you up at 4PM in the big house, you sleep on a 1" foam mattress, the food sucks, and the company includes violent criminals and serious mental cases.

No way I'm taking any risks of going there myself.

But if you like the idea of that lifestyle, keep doing the wrong thing.
