Packages Stuck In Customs For Weeks.
Purchased an item off of ebay from Singapore. It went registered mail, and if you are aware of registered mail, it is no longer tracked on USPS website. Using 17track, I can see the tracking all the way up until it lands in the US. Well, it arrived in the US on the 13th of this month. Hasn't arrived yet. It's been 15 days since it got here and I haven't gotten the package, haven't received a letter from customs, nothing. The item is NOT a Vero item. It is a toy that I bought for my kids. Nothing fishy about it, not phony, etc. Usually I get packages within 5-7 days after they enter the US.
To make things a little more suspect, I bought something on ebay from Japan (a similar toy). It was SHIPPED on the 14th of this month. It arrived on the 28th. So the seller SHIPPED it on the 14th, it entered the US, passed customs, arrived to me 14 days later (on the 28th)...meanwhile, the package that was shipped from Singapore and entered the US on the 13th has not arrived. What's up with that? Lost?
Going a step further. I have a small order (25 units) coming from China via USPS. Was sent EMS, so I can see all of the tracking on USPS website. It was inbound into customs on the 23rd...has been sitting like that ever since. I've never had anything sit in customs for more than 2 days. Now it's going on 6 days in customs. These items are NOT Vero, not phony, etc. But between this package showing that it is sitting in customs, and the other package that I mentioned above...I can't help but think they are seized. I hope I am wrong, but it's odd to me that a package that was sent from overseas AFTER this one was already in the US, gets delivered before the other.
