Clearing Customs...
Posted by OldFart on Thursday, December 27, 2012 2:45 PM

Anyone know how long it takes a package to clear Customs? I ordered a WNW Fok. DVII and it has been being held for clearing since 12-20. I know Christmas probably held it up a little, but was wondering what the norm was.

 

Thanks

This happened a couple years ago, between Thanksgiving and into the new year.  An order from Hannant's took well over a month, reportedly because of intensified security over the holi-holy-days in U.S. ports of entry and airports.  Not Hannant's fault; they shipped the next day after the order, as is usual with them, and normally get my order in just about one week.

Story was there were some 150,000 packages backlogged for scanning/checking at that time.  These days, I don't put in overseas orders till after New Year.

Your order will probably arrive sometime in January, 2013, safe and sound.  Mine did, eventually.

It appears all the trolls aren't in "The Hobbit."

Thanks for the info. Guess I just have to be patient. I hate doing that, it's not in my nature. Thanks again.
