Package getting lost due to the holidays***

**anahny** · 12-06-2012, 06:48 PM

Hey guys imam about to order my gear for January (I know I'm late doing this), but the holidays are around the corner and usually this time packages get lost, stolen, misplaced alot. So in your opinion, do you think I should take the risk and order it now and start my cycle in January, or wait till January to order and start in February?

I havn't ordered overseas (if hats what your talking about) in years but I had always been told that Xmas was the best time to order to get through customs...but yes slower

I've always been told that the "heightened awareness" around this time of year, may end up getting your order seized.

I say go for it.

Ports are also slow due to worker disputes....

Interesting..I had always heard the opposite because of the increased flow of packages.

I could see it either way

Go for it. I just waited about a month for my order..If it takes longer, then at least you have something else to look forward to after the holidays!

I agree with Jim. Theres a convincing argument for both. But its really a 50/50 chance. I say go for it.

Just order domestic (if you aren't already) and you won't really have to worry about this problem too much. I could name 5 good sources off the top of my head. Not worth the risk ordering overseas.

I dont like to order anything this time of year.You never know wat will happen.

This is what my concern is. Anything can happen even domestic.

i recently worked a company that delt with ordering items from overseas, that would be seized most of the time due to the content.. but as most have said its 50/50.

1) main thing to pay attention to is the world news where ur ordering from and shipping to.. if terriorst threats are high then you will prolly get seized due to the caution being taken.. we had a month that everything got siezed and then when i did a little news research i notices all the bombings and attackes consulates across the world.. so terror threats were high..

2) for the most part try to avoid shipping the wk before christmas and the wk after... thats when it has the best chance of getting lost...

I have always ASSUMED that it would be easier to slip stuff through during the holiday months....which is why I ordered my next cycle that I won't start for over 5 months about a week ago.
