How do you guys know it's in customs? How was it shipped ? USPS or courrier?

I have some stuff that is way overdue maybe that's where it is.

tracking numbers for certain curriers tell you the last place the item was scanned.

bluetroll, you had to wait almost two weeks for a cross border shipment and it deserves an all caps "I HATE..." thread? [img]graemlins/freak.gif[/img]

Have a little patience man. You bought from the states because you think you saved big bucks, right?
Well then be prepared for delays, unexpected charges from the post office or the private carrier, and further down the road maybe warranty issues.

Purchase in Canada and you will not have these problems; or be fully prepared otherwise.

Don't forget that the customs people are on a "work to rule" campaign.

Meaning.. they're gonna take as long as they're allowed, just to **** people off.

I'm all for them doing it.

But where I work might have something to do with that [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img]

Can't hate customs for all you know it may be beyond customs (it could still be there however) but when you buy from the us as Fever said its crap, your gonna pay duties, taxes, etc on top of it all, maybe they're uncertain of the product [img]graemlins/dunno.gif[/img] could be anything, be patient, why not even look into calling where its at to see what the problem is? just a suggestion. I'm goin to school to possible be a custom's officer

How do you get a box in the US without a physical address there?
