You are Correct 99% of the Time,,,,,,,OCCASIONALLY,,,and it is VERY Rare,,Dhl was Shortchanged on their shipping fees by shippers "Fudging" the Weight of the Package, and DHL will look to get the Difference from the reciever

It might also be an Import Tax issue,,,It is VERY Hard to Convince the I.R.S that an order for 50 RC Helichopters was Just a Sample or a Gift,,,Generally thought if it is VERO, it is seized by Customs,,so DO NOT Call if it is VERO,,,and Give them a Call if it is NOT,,,

I am going through the opposite of the OP. My package is destined for the west coast, it landed in Cincinnati, OH USA and then went to Canada!

I guess we will see what happens...

Has anyone ever figured out why this happens or had it happen?

Yes, this is the route 90% of my DHL packages take... China > Cincinnati > Seattle > West Coast of Canada. I don't know why they do this exactly, but they do, and it works.

Mine arrived in cinci but hasn't updated since it arrived there... heh *hopes* i don't even see clearance delay yet, so i think maybe they are just behind from monday

still sitting in cinci with no updates since arrival.. very odd. frankly, i don't understand how it could have. it left from hong kong the night before at almost 10pm and arrived in cinci by 6am? sounds odd... but no updates since arrival

Usually, packages clear within 24 hours. Anything longer could be a problem. The longer it sits, the more likely that there is a problem.

And the time zones can be different. But DHL is VERY fast (assuming there are no customs problems).

it arrived again last night.... and cleared. gg

:clap:

i love it when a plan comes together;)

I have a 48 pound package coming. Sent from Hong Kong yesterday hopefully it arrives OK

You should call DHL and ask but yes I would worry. 2 days in custom and no new.

2 days in customs is nothing to worry about

as far as the US forum-lings have posted

like mike017 suggested,give them a ring and see what the hold up is about

IMO its not over till the fat lady at customs is singing,on her way home with your shipment of copied fitness dvd`s.

Mine is in custom since last Friday. Should I freak now? :eek::eek::eek::rant:

I know i shouldn't give away my products of what they are but they do not have any logos they are the "e pads" MID tablets. Do you guys know if they will have any problems? They sell on e b without violating anything so i would think they are ok to go. I don't mind telling you guys because i don't sell online right now, I am selling locally so it is all cash. I called DHL and they said it is with customs and they will physically open the package. I spoke with my supplier and mentioned that this is still quite normal. My prior shipment went in with ease. What do you guys do when it gets seized? Do you loose on your money, does your supplier loose out? do you guys go half and half? This sucks it is $2,600 shipment i paid for.

Lost shipments are discussed with your supplier. But, e P a d s are fine as that is not branded by anyone here in the USA. I have even seen stores trying to push these things super cheap online as well as many other cheap random Chinese pads.

well uknown, i am still a little worried but you just calmed my nerves down from 100% all the way to 25% haha. Man i Just got so many customers waiting on these. I am making myself look bad because it was supposed to arrive on Tuesday, it is now Friday and i'm just stalling them telling them they will get here soon, they will get here soon. The good thing is they still won't go to competition cause i still have them cheaper lol.

Anyways, appreciate your input!

No problem. It happens with laptops, GPS units, other major electronics, etc. Same reason why the airports here in our country are so strict about inspecting any carry on computers and computer related items. Aftermath of 9/11.

Regarding the e P a d s, props to Google for creating an OS that you can literally slap on any device and people will buy it.

i see... i am just a beginner at importing so i need more research lol... I've been selling before but items purchased on clearance, yard sales, etc..when i had a trip to China, i was amazed at how much things are cheap over there. i might be an agent one day living there.

I would think that e p a d s were ok for clearance as i had no problems last shipments and also because no brands, logos and a free a n d r o i d system made it better for me to decide selling these.

DHL is great in Australia

I would just like to update everyone. Customs officials at DHL have been holding every

package coming in from China. One supplier told me they have 50 shipments held in

customs since last Friday!

WHAT!!! no WAY! thanks for the info.... thought i was the lucky one but I guess not -___-

I had a package that arrived in Cincinnati last Saturday. It sat till Tuesday before they cleared it for release. It went from Cincinnati to Salt Lake. I live in Idaho. Then the package got redirected to Erlanger, Kentucky for another customs inspection. It had already cleared once in Cincinnati.

I called DHL and they told me it was recalled by customs for some reason. Then today I got a call from DHL saying my package was released and it would be on my doorstep on Monday by 5. The package did have VERO items in it and this was a 60lb package.

So just hang tight and just because it has sat in customs for a day or two it doesn't mean it is seized right away.

Not to poop on your parade. But ive had them tell me its going to be released and will arrive the next day... and it never did

are you fcuking stupid? counterfeit is trademarked/copyrighted items

99% of you are dumbasses. I have had 70 packages, 30 of which are 40lbs or more, and every single one has cleared. Guess how many are counterfiets...ZERO. You all need to get a life.

nothing is guaranteed

but more times than not,if they say its on its way,,,it most probably will be!!!:hail:

That's why they always sneak in the words, "pending any unforeseeable delays".

Pay attention when you speak to them. Of course no delivery company can guarantee a godd*mn thing these days.

i went ahead and placed another order (small one) this time. Should i tell them to send to a different address or same one? Is there really a blacklist customs has?

not too sure but its always better to be safe than sorry

This isn't the first time I've had this happen to me. And I just checked the tracking number and it departed earlier this evening from KY. It no longer says "Contact DHL". Pretty sure the package will be here tomorrow.

MOSCUTTER IS A FCUKING TOOL.......haha

congrats, you dodged. Must of put an extra point in it at last level up. good work, who said dodge and parry are worthless skills when you could go all offensive


Confused? I'm not

I took the liberty to gamble and used same address.. so far so good..........I would have to guess it is the size of the package that counts..lol

so what was in the parcel,vero or legit

i do not discriminate:)

legit but my main concern was my parcel was going to be delayed due to a parcel that is currently under customs (blacklisted address).... so far customs blacklisting is a myth... will get a new shipment soon.. too bad China is in a holiday and have to wait till next week.. -__-'

there always on a holiday:doh:

I think China has more holidays than any other country I know of.
