rachele703 Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 Hi, I am waiting for a parcel to be delivered from the UK. It was posted 2 weeks ago and is insured. The contents are all gifts (for my birthday!) I was wondering if anyone knew how long things can be stuck in customs for and how often parcels 'went missing' never to be seen again. When should I really start to worry? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chanchao Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 Christmas. Seriously, 2-3 weeks is not uncommon. How were they sent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rachele703 Posted August 21, 2006 Author Share Posted August 21, 2006 Christmas. Seriously, 2-3 weeks is not uncommon. How were they sent? Ok, that's great - as long as there's no immediate panic... They were sent by registered post from England. Fingers crossed it'll arrive this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earlofwindermere Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 I have sent a lot of registered parcels from Canada. Some have arrived in as little as 5 days. A few of them took 6 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axel Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 The contents are all gifts (for my birthday!) Nothing in your profile for your b/day. Still enjoy. BTW, was it sent by airmail? No joke, I had it so often, that people mailed me something by normal post which arrived after 2-3 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
