im an avid online shopper. ive purchased many items from many different sites and never had a problem like this. ive found this forums because ive been buggin out about my order and been googling on what to do about them. everything went smoothly from initial payment to the actual shipment of the products until it sat at customs for 5 Freaking DAYS. are they seized ? will i ever see them again.
btw the products i am refering to are 6 pairs of jordan sneakers. not for retail at all but all 6 for myself. dont ask why
im one of thoose dudes who feels like a kid waiting for a present when i wait for my package. and this situation REALLY sucks. been checking usps website almost every hour. i hope you guys can help me.
i really like the seller from dhgate. very helpful and nice. so i obliged when he asked me to wait for two weeks. hes willing to resend the items if its not in my hands in two weeks. but im afraid that it would end up in the "black hole" that customs is? plus paypal only offers a 45 day period to file a dispute.
btw the tracking info looks like this
Your item is being processed by United States Customs. Information, if available, is updated periodically throughout the day. Please check again later.
