Customs clearance

I'm assuming you mean in the US because you didn't specify.

Used to be a lot faster, some vendors could get it to your doorstep in ~4days. Now I would budget 3-6 weeks. I've seen it take longer but it's not common.

Yes so sorry, total noob here its in Chicago and has been only for two days
 
At the rate things are going, a week will become common again in NYC too. Either they are cracking down more, people are buying more, or employees are taking summer vacations or quiet quitting.

My last shipment from India went in to NYC customs last Wednesday and was cleared Monday morning. That's not bad at all, but it used to be 24 hours and then went to 3+ days. Just nerve racking. Thankfully, I have everything I need from India for the rest of the year.

did your package look like customs opened it or anything? Mine has been in Chicago customs since July 1 and I am curious what in the world is taking so long. I had a package two weeks ago go thru Chicago customs in like two hours. Weird how some take so much longer.

10 days is not unusual. I’ve had things take several weeks. They will send you a scary letter if they confiscate your package.

I will most definitely update you once it arrives. The package is on its way to me but has not arrived
 
I live in Canada, and I’ve had a WBS packaged detained at customs since June 25. I once had a package detained that contained perfume that wasn’t correctly labelled, and Canada Customs sent me a letter saying it was destroyed. But no such letter this time.

From what I remember reading, Canada is more likely to seize packages compared to their southern neighbor.

Maybe WBS will reship after 30 days of being in customs? I think customs has up to 45 days to send a letter here in the US.

But I assume it's possible that it hasn't been seized, just delayed.

I got the same response from TFC and mine got released. But from what I have read about WBS they should definitely make it right.

They sent me a new tracking number on the 13th. 😊
I don’t feel super confident, though. I don’t blame WBS; I just know that our customs officers can be pretty thorough.
I think I need to find a supplier with a Canadian warehouse. In the vendor thread for WBS they do mention having a Canadian warehouse, but in both instances the T30 kits were shipped from China.

Yeah, im US and a number of suppliers talk about and offer promotions from US warehouses yet so many forum threads have posts from people that purchased from domestic warehouses and they consistently say that the package they ordered got shipped from China.
 
So now the drama continues...I have a usps tracking after the DGHY tracking number showed cleared customs on 7/10 but now it shows label made not yet delivered to USPS...TFC Slow boat I guess. They have somewhat replied to my emails so I wont knock them for that but its still 21days and no delivery but it is successfully in the US.
