Dreaded DHL "clearance delay"

[NiceLikeChrist]

Hello all, I'm just seeking some reassurance

I placed an order for some designer shoes from https://www.ln-cc.com/ which is a very popular site that sells authentic goods.

I checked up on DHL tracking and see this

Friday, April 12, 2013 Location Time
12 Clearance delay NEW YORK CITY GATEWAY, NY - USA 06:47

11 Processed for clearance at NEW YORK CITY GATEWAY - USA NEW YORK CITY GATEWAY, NY - USA 06:47

Seeing that the goods were purchased from a legit website and are authentic, I should have no worries of any "seizing" taking place, right?

Seizing may not be your issue.

Patience is needed for any items arriving in the country. You should start worrying after a much longer period.

Customs of any country may hold incoming cargo for different reasons.

Sometimes parcels are damaged, labels can not be read.
Worst scenario is a (temporary) seizure of goods just because Customs decide.

Wait it out until Monday. Check for updates and then consider contacting DHL

1 day is hardly worth getting angtsy over...wait and see what updates - Mondya, Tuesday, Wed abouts.

lc-cc.com is known for decent custom declaration.

Yeah sometimes it can even take a week to clear customs in my personal experience. Just give it a few days. It SHOULD pass through.

I once had clearance delay for over 2 weeks. I was thinking my parcels were seized but they went through ok. Sometimes these delays happen with dhl.
