Title: How bad is this?
Post by: warelephant on January 09, 2012, 02:47 am
This is my first order on SR. It's shipping from India to the United States. I haven't done anything stupid like track the package using TOR. Am I fucked? Please help.

I've had international shipments chill in customs for 1-2 days and then received it with no problems... you won't be fucked. 

Hell I had a package arrive that was opened, and then sealed shut with a red sticker from customs.  The package inside was OPEN and there were visible pills... but nothing was missing, no customs letter either.  Very sketchy, last time I ordered from that vendor and probably last international order I will make.

Worst thing that might happen to you is you received a letter from customs saying your item was seized.  Unless it was a ridiculous amount of drugs.  If that happens just send a picture of the letter to the vendor and hope for a refund or reshipment.

After a few days waiting in customs, it arrived. I hope this helps someone in a similar situation.

Thank you, even though this is an old thread, I searched for "retention reason other" and found this thread very helpful.  My situation is crazy similar to the OP, and it is good to see that the OP followed up and let us know how it turned out.  Hopefully I shall be as lucky as OP was.  Thanks to warelephant(OP) and thisisatest.
