I have had one in Chicago customs for 10 days now, they have up to 30 days, after that you need to file a lost mail claim with USPS.

Anyone hear anything regarding Operation Pandegra, aka Operation Dumbo Drop"  Now that we're nearing September IMO things should cool down and things should be back to normal.

Feedback appreciated.

We will soon see no doubt, just watch those vendor reviews flying in shortly!

Well  all I can say  is SF customs has been a nightmare for me.  They have  seized 2 packages followed by two separate LL. 

A 3rd package has been sitting there for about a month.  A 4th package arrived Sept 4th and there it sits.  I'm in the Midwest USA and just order small personal orders.  I've never had any problems the past 10 years until recently with SF and Operation Dumbo Drop or whatever it's called.  I've always received my orders through the East Coast.

One envelope did get through, somehow lol.  I guess I will avoid any and all vendors that ship through the West Coast San Fran area.

Anyone else experiencing issues with SF customs?  It's almost as if they flagged my name and address which is concerning.  I doubt it though. 

Thanks for letting me vent.  We all know the risks but this just seemed worth mentioning.

i got my first LL letter today, it was dated 10/05/15 for ship date 09/07/15, i read it , somewhat confusing , something about sign here and reply and whatnot, i just ripped it up and threw it in the garbage :/ it was confusing ?

I posted this in another thread, but realize now this is where it should have gone. Sorry I'm a newbie. 

Anyway, I have a package that's been sitting in customs for over 3 weeks. Should I assume it's be confiscated. And if so should I be concerned about any repercussion?

SF customs is supposedly the hardest to get through.  They nailed me for a flat envelope with a sheet of blotter paper in it.
