I don't know if it's me but does anyone notice that the length of time a package is in cutoms depends on the type of shipping that it was sent. For the last couple of years it seems that EMS shipping is held a lot longer than other forms of international shipping. The last 2 week alone I had 4 packages sent to me from Asia. 2 Ems, 1 Air and 1 Surface. The air and surface packages breezed through customs in 1-2 days. The EMS packages not so much. The 1st one was in Customs in 4 days. The 2nd one was in customs since last Friday and it just now left there.
Anyone else notice this?

Can't say I've noticed at all. EMS still takes the usual 2-4 days to arrive as it always has, so I haven't noticed any significant difference.

Lately it isn't as bad as it used to be, it used to be that whenever I get a Macross toy, it'll be held up at customs for at least a week, it happened to me so often that whenever an item gets held up at the customs, it's coined by the term "Tom'd" like, "my package is still not here yet, I think I got Tom'd"

EMS? Nope. Usually 10 days or less, depending on it's origin. China? 10 days. Other parts of Asia? 3-5. RobotKingdom can get your package to you in about 5, at least that's been my experience.
Air Mail? A total bitch. Always, ALWAYS takes 2-3 weeks, without fail. |

Well I still have one package still held up since the 5th. I waited this long. A few more days will not make a difference.

Now this is wonderful. I have two orders from Mandrake that was shipped to me. One sent on Feb 15th and the other on the 20th. The package that was sent on the 20th left customs yesterday and I should get it today. In the meantime, the package shipped on the 15h is still sitting in customs.

This is why you don't ship the crack in the same package as the PLASTIC crack.

I wonder if the customs agents are having fun with the toys
