Inbound Into Customs

your item is being processed by us customs

since the 27th

question I ask is:

if they seize the thing does the trking info reflect that change? it was sent ems from in.

I understand that trking is hardly reliable but assuming by the book updates how would this be reflected?

thanks for any help.

 
Even for EMS, sitting in customs for 2 days isnt so bad. It will probably clear tonight or tomorrow. 

As for what the tracking shows if seized, I think it just stops but whether its at the inbound to customs point or outbound, I dont remember. I just know that at some point right there, it stops tracking. If it sits at that point with no update for like a week, then it could have been seized. Thats for EMS only.. Registered can sit there for a month and still get delivered!

I wouldnt worry yet... your package is probably fine.

This is prob a dumb question... but....why do some pakgs get routed to one side of us customs and others routed to the other side of US even when shipped from the same foreign country?? Just thought it was strange...

 
Clarification: customs facility on one side of the US instead of the one facility on other side of the US as per what usually happens...

Hi Wildings! I kind of have this figured out. When it's EMS it shows inbound customs. A letter recvd not long ago was & OMG I was flipped for 5 days! No other update till the night of the 6th. Middle of the night it showed @ my local sort center & was to me that Next day, day 6! Crazy that's EMS but once it's out of there is goes fast. Why it's slow in there? No clue.

But when registered it won't show inbound customs. It just says ISC sort center for days. I had people tell me registered is just as fast as EMS & generally it is. It's just after customs EMS flies to u. Registered takes a few more days.

As to what happens when a seizure takes place with tracking? Thank the stars I have no clue but have wondered myself.

Last EMS I thought for sure I was getting a LL but it made it! I hate when it sits inbound into customs for 5-6 days but that's now avg for big apple. Windy City is So much faster! GL!

It depends on the flight it is put on in the origin country. Sometimes flights get cancelled or are delayed or whatever so the mail goes on another flight which may or may not be to the same destination city in the US. I'm not sure there is any particular POE they aim for, i think its more about availability of commercial flights that carry mail. 

Take Bangkok Thailand for example. If the mail is ready to go at 5pm, Thai time and the next flght to the US allowed to carry mail is to NYC/JFK, thats where the mail goes. They probably do that same thing every day but if that flight gets cancelled, the next flight thats allowed to carry US mail may be to LAX or Chicago/ORD and then thats where it ends up going. It may just be that the most direct flights to the US from Bangkok just happen to go to JFK. I'm not really sure on that. 

If a package originates in Argentina, the most popular POE may be Miami because thats where the most flight go to on any given day but again, if a flight gets cancelled, the mail destined for the US may end up in some other POE. 

(POE is point of entry)

I'm proud to say I have finally stopped checking the usps site, every 6 hrs. then I quit daily now I on lt check every 3 days, Yes I'm proud of myself, I stopped ordering from a vendor that kept me worried where my pack was at all times. I think that's what broke me../default_wink.png Like Rylee said, usps sucks at posting and scanning. mine I know is here, but it has not scaned since it got here which was yesterday.

 
My envelope said inbound since the 31st. of last month. My vendor said if 15 days means Seized. This was my first pack to ever not show or move within 4days of going into customs. I didn't bang the TN so IDK. now waiting for a LL. IF I don't recieve one I take it somebody stole it. Hope my reship goes through.

I'm up 20+ orders so I guess it was gonna happen eventually, just sucks. Lucky I always keep back ups. Incase something like that ever happened. Still pisses me off.

Thanks for that explanation. Just had something held at LAX for 6 days from the same Origin. Haven't had an envelope via LAX for years. Figured it for gone. Not obsessed with checking TNs. Checked this AM and it is on its way. This particular POE is tougher than NY. I wonder if one can ask a vendor to put it specifically on a NY-bound flight. My guess is no.

@ Trudy L - NOT a dumb question

I've had orders in customs for 2 weeks, heard of people having them stuck there for a month, and then getting them unopened and good to go.  Once I got a letter covered in customs "we searched your shit" tape and inside was a magazine.  They had slashed the magazine with their box opener and the baggie inside as well.  Around 100 dromicum spilled out of the bag and were all over the inside of the envelope, it was weird.  I guess they felt bad about slashing my Argentina Real Estate Guide and taped it up quick;y before everything spilled out.

Still No LL, but I remember the Palmara year's and got 1 then. It took over a month. It was a packet of papers trying to get me to sign it and claim it was mine. I burned that Shit Up.

HaHa...now sitting at the L.A. sort facility going nowhere, just hours by car from here. I give up. Not gonna peek anymore. The mail gods must be amusing themselves.

 
It just showed up.

OK, it's a stretch, but I guess I'll just have to believe that it took an envelope 4 days to go from L.A to S,F.. Probably happens every day for no apparent reason.

  2. B @ bigblueallda: @drjimmy1964 lol I am actually surprised it is a real ID. I needed those documents because my license had been expired for over a year and I had to start all over. Nothing was in the system. It was a huge mess. I had no clue I was signing up for Real ID. They asked me for the exact same documents that I needed for a State ID Card.
  3. S @ soupson: bless your heart buddy. no sense of grammar or proper insults/jokes. you need this place in ways i can’t comprehend
  4. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: Sweet Ol' Me asked about Real ID, Stoup. Are you responsive to emails ? LMAO
  5. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: I smell some Stoup. Is Stoup's on ?
  6. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda You win. I am lost. Thought you were surprised your license was a Real ID, now you say you provided those items.
  7. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda I was under the impression that you'd need all of the points to get a real ID . I'd check it's validity if you're gonna fly domestic any time soon, just to make sure. Not to tell you what to do, sorry -
  8. B @ bigblueallda: @drjimmy1964 In my state to get a Real ID, I need SS card, Birth Certificate and two proofs of residency. Which I am positive I had to provide to get a new ID when it had been expired.
  9. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @Turbo259 advertising - putting in writing for example an negative action to show they are guilty prior to taking action.
  10. B @ bigblueallda: I haven't flown in an airplane in 20 years lol. Can't recall the last government building I have been in either. According to the symbol it tells me I should have on my ID to make it a Real ID I do have one in my state
  11. Gracie5 @ Gracie5: Hey @CuCeltic99!
  12. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @Turbo259 advertising - putting in writing for example an negative action to show they are guilty prior to taking action.
  13. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda are you sure you have a Real ID ? I mean , they really want 6 points of proof and 1 for your addy and 1 for your SSN. Did you maybe get it done and forgot and flew out of the country or something ?

  15. S @ soupson: did anyone ask about real id or is sweet ol jimmy just rambling
  16. T @ Turbo259: @drjimmy1964 what did you mean by advertise? not gettin the verbiage, DM works if anything, just didnt understand
  17. B @ bigblueallda: {Visit your local Driver Service Bureau with the necessary documents: original birth certificate, Social Security card, and two proofs of your state's residency. } I definitely provided this when I had to get a new ID when i let mine go expired too long maybe I unknowingly got one but I think it is pretty standard here.
  18. B @ bigblueallda: Well it was a state id renewal. Before that there was a mixup and I had lost my birth certficate and social security number. After a couple of weeks and finally getting several documents in order I was able to get a state ID. It had been expired previously for a little too long and they wanted all kinds of proof. It was a mess. But nah I looked up what to look for an my state's ID to see if it is a Real Id or not and my card as the symbol it is supposed to have. I'll take a closer look though

  20. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: Actually it says "Not For Real ID Purposes". That is my 2022 renewal of my 2018 picture ID. I am not due till 2026 and I am sure they will make me go in since my pic would be 8 years old - they used to make you go in in my state for aging when I was younger, then went paper - then back to picture ( I think 9/11 to blame for that ) but relaxed it.
