Customs in West Coast warning

3 of my long time suppliers have denied shipping to me recently because they state Customs in West Coast is very strict starting last week. Anyone else have this issue?

Customs on the west coast have always been strict. This is nothing new.

what they did instead is ship to an address in the east coast and then re-rout the package to my address. Takes a couple days longer

Ice = customs are very strict in zip codes in the los angeles and some other ports. You should ask the sellers which ports they can pass your stuff through.

An old trick. And San Francisco has always been the worst in the country.

LA gateway is PACKED right now... Stuff that usually comes through LA gateway are being sent to other states then shipped from there to you.. 2 of my packages had that happen so far

This is the truth ,it is strict for the packages come through west coast by DHL.But ems and hkems goes through west coast with no problem recently,but do not make the package too big ,and it is no problem to mark the package as "gift",not sample,because christmas day is coming,it is make sense to mark the package as "gift"

I use to have packages come in from NY customs and reroute to my old west coast address using EMS. Now, my supplier uses DHL that goes through Cincy and gets to me in lower southern state.

FYI, my EMS package from HongKong stayed 10 days in NY and it just came out from the customs.

It is not strange,some packages even stay for 1 month and finally came out.But if more than 1 week,the possiblity to get seized is much bigger.

^ exactly

It's nerve racking having something sit in customs.
