serious mate i dont think anyone as a clue, i mean ems parcelforce, i think its gone a little tits up with all the delays and things and the tracking as gone loopie lol

Yh I think you're right mate. Oh well, the long, tiresome, painful wait shall continue :(

Right! the new 'national hub' info is now on the tracker! :) It says it has been recieved and processed in national hub at 21.41! I'm so happy this means it should arrive tomoro :) I'm presuming it has cleared customs and all charges fine! Just for the record my parcel was a 'dodgy' watch. so if this has gone through then there's no reason other 'non-legit' items shouldn't (within reason.)

i got two parcels today, they got here in the uk on the 24/05/2012, but i have gad others which came before them and still say "below" not a clue why maybe my others where seized not sure.

As annoying as it is I think you will just have to give it time mate. Mine landed in the country 10 days before yours and it has just reached national hub now! Give yours 10 more days before worrying about seizures and charges.

Yeah i am thinking the same, i think there backlogged with loads lol, mine are like a few days behind yours so hopefully they will get though £££££££££££ lol

Yh there's definately a backlog without a doubt but I hope they come through fine for you mate. I'll update tomoro when/if I recieve my parcel if it looks like it has been opened or not.

cheers mate much appreciated

Just to say that my parcel has arrived. Even though it has been sitting in customs for 17 days, in no way shape or form has it been opened or even chucked about. The packaging is in amazing condition, there was no charges at all and everything worked out just fine for me. I wish everyone the best of luck. Keep the hope no matter how bad things seem at the time. I am 100% sure that my parcel would have been seized if it was opened, but after 17 days there it was untouched! Good luck everyone!

WOW!!! BIG Congratulations.

Could you post the parcel tracking details as my parcel has also stuck at "international hub received and processed" for many days.

Many thanks!!!

Mines still the same , :(

Ive emailed my suppliers and asked me to re-send it cause maybe it has been stopped god knows, i made the mistake of ringing up last week when they asked me what was in it i just blurted out something random and put the phone down, will this probably get my items seized ? whats in it isn't exactly legit haha

If the customs seized our parcels, we shall receive some kind of letter to inform us. It's impossible of our parcels being destroyed without any advance notice. Is that right?

Thank you for your email.



Currently some of our customers are experiencing delays in receiving their parcels from overseas. Due to the specific nature of the work the customs authorities needs to perform on International postal traffic this can often result in a delay, particularly where an item is subject to Customs fiscal control or inspection for Prohibitions.



Both Parcelforce & Border Force recognises the issue and we are working together with UK Border Force to keep the delays to a minimum and ensure normal service is resumed as soon as possible


If you require any further information or assistance, please reply to this email showing all conversations we have had on this enquiry.

Finally, I receive my parcel today.I am in London. It had been opened and checked by the UK customs, but finally didn't charge me. My parcel is 12kg, just for personal use.
