Receiving items through USPS

[deversoll]

Good Morning,

I have recently ordered an item from a company overseas. It was shipped from them and I have been tracking to the point where it has been "Inbound to Customs" for 8 days. At what point should I consider this a loss. What could I/should I expect from this point?

hard to say. i've had shit clear in a day or two, and got other packages a month later

Thanks - guess I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Give it some more time.

I ordered some stuff from the middle east once. It took 27 days to get to me. From Asia, it takes anywhere from 5 days to 14 days.

yep. give it time. i order a knock off watch from china, and it took 90 days to come.

8 days is nothing. I've waited over a month for a relay switch that I ordered from China to get through customs before. And I've ordered gear from Turkey that made it through a couple days.

Eventually, you'll be at the point where you might want to order another order then if your current order comes in, you can just save for next time.

I've never ordered small items before, but I've had containers of merchandise on hold for up to 2 months. Like Honkey Kong said...I would order a back up just in case.

Hopefully it's not something you need in a timely manner.

Like above, me too. I seen shit get in from HonKong to my house in like 3 days and I remember waiting for over a month.

Give it time. Sometimes the customs crap takes forever. I have no idea why.
