Clearance delay on fed ex alaska

[oomalikoo]

Went through the alaska hub.


is my package toast? :(

[mycrowman]

What were you importing? And were you using fedex if I can ask?

[oomalikoo]

yea I was using fed ex, I was importing colognes.

[HurricaneHuntr]

By fedex? I thought only EMS for liquid?

[rsot]

If it's from where many other people import the "foofoo" items - and by FEDEX - it's probably toast.

[teedon]

a quick advise

Never use fedex to import these kinds of products.

If you really need to import these products,go use DHL or EMS or UPS.I think 99% people in this forum will agree on this.

Have an alaska package in clearance delay, not sure WHY my seller shipped fedex, he only ships me ems with liquid usually.. If this stays delayed, i am gonna be pissed


Is it normal for fedex packages to get the delayed marker? Mine has no notes... yet

Anytime a package is delayed in customs for more than 24 hours, it is NOT a good sign.

is there anyway to tell with fedex? Shipper told me to call. i called they said they had no information, no notes have been placed yet.

Yes they dont play games up there. Ur proble going to get a letter from customes. Just pitch it and cut ur losses and dont use ur address for international shipping again as u will be black listed for sure.

funny you'd say that..... just had a huge dhl delivery to an address that had a previous seizure. I don't think they blacklist.. But this is my first fedex and first problem with them... ...irritated.... gonna make seller reship if i end up with 2x product, no big deal

They DO track addresses that have had seizures. However, that does not mean they can scan every package coming into the country. Re-using the same address that previously had a seiure will not GUARANTEE that any new packages will be seized, but the odds go up considerably.

I will laugh my ass off when Moscutter comes crying about 20 boxes being seized and a lawsuit.

Be smarter than this please.

[HurricaneHuntr]

unkown5454, i am not big.. 20 boxes might be 6 months for me or a year. I know how it works, get too big, and you go down. I'm not. I got a 9 to 5. Just some extra cash on the side.That being said, i didn't want the DHL to begin with, nor the fedex. The seller decided to ship it this way, which annoyed me to say the least.

[oomalikoo]

i got a package through DHL after this happened. I really am starting to doubt the blacklist rumor

[unkown5454]

^^^ "A PACKAGE"...that's nothing. Especially if it was small. No one is forcing you to believe anything. You can do whatever you want.

[HurricaneHuntr]

I agree however with the general premise. If you keep getting bit something bad will happen
