Into customs twice.
 

Any thoughts on this. Into customs, out of customs, sit for 2 weeks, then back into customs again.

Might have found something that they did not like and want to reinspect it.
But, there have been similar threads about the system glitching/items just sitting there and repeatedly being scanned/inspected.

Glitch within the system meant the items stay inbound & do not get released for ages. (Only after they were found). ISC has a poor track record with this.
By chance, did you inquire with your shipper at all? Associate found out this way.
:pout:

Not trying to highjack the thread, but my package has been sitting in customs for 4 days...with no updates...just says "inbound into customs". Normally it clears customs within 1 day....Is it normal for this time of year or could they have lost the package?

This time of year is bedlam. If this is your 1st year of importing etc, you might want to consider stopping everything by say 12/7 next Christmas. These are just options you might consider.

All sorts of things go wrong. Read below for USPS.

Royal Mail in the UK is full on in chaos. Little bit of snow & ice & no mail

Yeah....still no update...guessing they lost the package. Anything I can do? I paid western union and it was $600...EFF

You need to get in touch with your goods seller ASAP. Hope they can help. There is not much else you can do - did you pay via cc to WU?

Not likely lost - likely seized if items are problematic...

It just passed through customs today....took a whole week
