I have a package of 200 tramps shipped EMS out of India (via Kiwi) that was received inbound NY customs today at 1:13. Then, at 1:14 was updated to RETENTION REASON: OTHER.  Has anyone else experienced this? Did you eventually receive your letter or should I expect a LL? If you did receive, how long was it stuck there? Are there any other reasons besides seizure that letters/envelopes are marked "other"?

 
@bipolar1970 how long did your package sit in NY isc? I got something sitting there for 8 days and wondering how many days was it in for before it updated to the status you just got. Oh and I'll add that mine says still in isc never any customs update.

Thanks in advance

@bipolar1970 so I did some research and it looks like that is not super common but it has happened. But the stories I read says the package came a few days later after that specific update. So looks like you might be ok. But that's no guarantee. Just thought I'd share with you what I found through another source.

Much love

Thanks so much guy. My first reaction was to freak out, not gonna lie. I tried to do research too but couldn't find out much. I'm glad you found more than I did. I want to keep checking on it...I can't help myself. But I've read that now US postal can locate the IP address of anyone who checks on a tracking number status, how many times and at what dates/times. For as long as I've ordered this way (overseas) I've never gotten over the paranoia.

 
Also, it looks like it arrived at 1:13 and was given the RETENTION:OTHER label at 1:14. So it's only been there this afternoon/evening. It just seemed weird that it was immediately detained. That's why I figured it was set aside for inspection.

 
ATTENTION MODERATORS: could one of the moderators delete this thread?? I may have given TMI. Plus, I looked back at my other recent orders from kiwi and the last two had the same retention:other update, but they were shipped out by the next day. It happened so fast (within 24 hrs.) that I never noticed it before. If, for some reason, you think this thread is helpful, then I guess it should stay up. I just was informed via pm that detailed customs info is not really spoken about--sort of an informal rule on this board. (The fact that no one else here has asked a detailed customs question like this should have been my first clue. I'm daft like that sometimes.) thanks!!

 
Never mind, lol. Apparently I didn't step out of line or give more info than I should have. Turns out, it was retained for two days and cleared last Saturday. It arrived today and I did have to sign it (which I've never had to do before). So the whole process took 3 weeks EMS when it usually takes 10-14 days.

 
I would definitely keep this post around. It gives people with the same question a good resource without having to leave the board like I did to find the answer. The more knowledge we can pack into the group the better. Then people can use this thread as a reference vs having to explain it one, two, three different times. It seems that things were wacky act the ISC for the last two weeks. But everyone I talk to says things are smooth sailing now. My package is now one day away for me so I am in a better mood myself. But still not gonna celebrate until it is in my hands. Glad you got it. That makes for a great evening.

much love

Package arrived yesterday.   :)  couldn't be happier. Now to plan ahead next time. It was to close for comfort. But now that things are moving through at a timely manner I don't wanna chance it just in case. Glad to have my s0ma in hand and boy since I tapered they feel strong as can be. Think I got the 120% generic vs the 80%. But yes this is a great thread for reference purposes. 

Much love

I have been ordering benzos from overseas and they come registered mail with no problem  This last order was sent to US customs and said retention reason: other so I thought it was seized for sure.  Two days later, I got an email tracking update saying that my package arrived a the NY facility where it usually goes for delivery to its destination.  Then about 8 hours later, I got another email update backtracking adding that it was "inbound out of customs" two hours prior to it arriving at the facility that sends it out.  Do you think they opened my package and I should not sign for it when the mailman comes as it could be a set up or just a mix up?  Should I be worried?  Thanks for any help.

 
Start a 3rd thread about it, maybe that will help....

BiPolar just gave you the rundown on what happened to her, which is exactly what you are experiencing.  Stop asking the exact same question over and over, your package is on its way.  Posting all over the board about it isn't going to make it move faster.  If it is at a NY sort facility it will be in your hands by Wed.

I think there has been enough good advice given on this thread. If you wish to share your experience with us after receiving @TanGoddess then please do so, but I think this discussion has reached its conclusion.

  1. S @ soupson: What happened to chem genie?
  2. D @ drdrizzy13: LSU is trash and has always been trash but a night game in death valley is unlike anything I've experienced. Except the first game back to the superdome reopened after Katrina destroyed it. Everybody was crying and drunk as shit lol. All time favorite in person sports moment ever.
  3. M @ meepmoopmeep: Kiffin is a traitor and he and LSU deserve each other since they’re both complete trash
  4. D @ drdrizzy13: yea he's a joke lol. Can't stand him.
  5. L @ Layne_Cobain: You know who rly sucks…lane kiffin 😂 dude is all that’s wrong with college sports or at least a big chunk of it…and he lied about being told he could still coach ole miss in the playoffs
  6. D @ drdrizzy13: Hey at least Ole Miss got in. I can't stand LSU. They really sucked this year.
  7. M @ meepmoopmeep: as an A&M fan I’m content with us missing the SECCG for that reason. Georgia about to fuck Alabama up
  8. D @ drdrizzy13: Yeah I agree if bama loses I think they are out. That would be 3 losses. I don't see a 3 loss team getting in this year.
  9. L @ Layne_Cobain: Yeah that’s why sark was pleading his case about that Texas shouldn’t be punished for scheduling a non conference game against the best team and losing if they hadn’t done that they’d probably be in but oh well way it goes there’s always gonna be a few teams who get robbed or feel they got robbed even with a 12 team playofff…if bama loses to Georgia I’d think they’d be out but who knows
  10. D @ drdrizzy13: Alabama also lost to Florida State pretty bad. Whom Florida beat. I just think if they didn't decide to play ohio state the first game. They would be in with 2 losses instead of Alabama.
  11. M @ meepmoopmeep: @drdrizzy13 Texas lost to Florida of all teams, they weren’t heading for the playoffs anyways imo. At least not this year
  12. D @ drdrizzy13: Texas is offically out of the playoffs they didn't make the top 12. I do wish they were in it. They showed up against Texas AM. But there fatal flaw was scheduling Ohio State for their opening. Which would have been great if they won but they are a 3 loss team now.
  13. L @ Layne_Cobain: Yeah idk about arch I could see him staying with Sark for another year but if he plays rly well in the playoff who knows that is if they get in
  14. D @ drdrizzy13: Man a lot of Saints fan want Arch but I think he said he is playing another year. I would take him probably. But if Texas AM QB comes out or Ohio State's I think you gotta take one if your picking top 2.
  15. L @ Layne_Cobain: Is the qb class supposed to be stacked or thin for draft in April I follow college ball but I can’t think right now I think there’s def at least a few high potential qb declaring
  16. D @ drdrizzy13: Right now I believe we pick 2nd. ATM.
  17. D @ drdrizzy13: At first I figured he might be able to do something but our position players suck. We are playing a rookie QB. O-line sucks. It needs to be blown up. I hope we tank for the first pick
  18. L @ Layne_Cobain: Hopefully you guys maybe find a solid qb option in the draft you should end up with a very good pick
  19. L @ Layne_Cobain: Yeah dude Moore def does not seem like the guy for yall need to clean house
  20. D @ drdrizzy13: I should say our receivers suck
