Normally it's 1-3 days (yes, I did the poll), however I've had one sitting there since the 1st of June. Tomorrow will be the 10th day it's sat in NY.

I'm really worried that it may not make it though.

Bummer.

What's the longest anyone's watched & waited for a package?

The longest I've ever had to wait [and trust me, I've received my fair share of "shesity-[censored] packaging" - CAM's half-assed, duct tape (for lack of a better word?) packaging was about as bad as it gets] was 6 days to clear Customs. Is that just an anomaly for me, or do the majority of clients find themselves in the same boat?

I've always opted out of a tracking number. So I honestly cannot say how long it sat in customs. I do know that tracking numbers require more hands to touch the package and are fewer in number than regular mail. So there would be more scrutiny. And give a customer a tracking number and it will be checked several times a day, if not more. Just human nature. I always felt this was customs way of pulling aside their quota and being right as oppossed to a random. Call me paranoid though I never got a Dear John as I saw posted above and everything always came through with no hassles. If it makes it it makes it, don't help them single your package out.

I never get a tracking number either........unless there is a bar code on the package so I wonder if thats the tracking #?? but they have never given me the tracking number, I was told they re-shipped but still havent received nothing since the day I posted. Dang $300 down the drain!!! Im pretty sure I was scammed from a certain place in Spain. Ive learned my lesson the hard way especially since I have limited income...As I also said there is no way it takes a month to get an express package!!!

Lordy I guess with the economy so bad they dont care and just make up another website and scam more people.......I have nobody else to blame but my stupidity

I've ordered 4 times - from two IOPs. The two that made it through customs took 3 hours and the other 6 minutes, by the tracking info. I still have one sitting in customs since the 22nd. The one that didn't make it sat in customs for about 3 weeks before they sent it back to the shipper - no letter sent to me or anything.

I seriously hate Canada Customs. They're not accountable to anybody, you can't contact them, and they can hold your package for as long as they like and there's nothing you can do..

I swear, I'm moving to Germany. :|

I've seen some really oxymoron acronyms but this one had me stumped. Why not just a simple "SL" or at least "DJ" for "Dear John"? Which seems a little more related to losing something. Oh well, far be from me to question long standing web site idioms.
