Title: US to UK - anyoone had a seizure?
Post by: newman on March 09, 2012, 04:23 pm
I'm expecting something from the US to the UK. It's been a month. Usually takes about 3 weeks. Should I be worried. Has anyone in the UK had customs, or the police turn up? What happens if something gets seized?

Thanks guys and girls :)

I've never had anything seized, so I'm not sure what happens there. I'm waiting on a shipment from Canada, and one from Germany, they're taking longer than normal though. I've also got some legit packages coming in from Germany and America, but they haven't turned up yet either... Maybe there's something snarling up the post system?
Anyone else from the UK waiting a bit longer than normal for international packages?

...even 3 weeks doesn't sound right?!

Just bumping this thread because I would also like to know what happens when customs seize an order coming from abroad. Do you always get a letter from Customs first? Or could the police just turn up one day?

The "Busted. Charged." thread has freaked me out, I'm currently in the UK and I know my order will be at customs right about now.. don't even know if that person is in the UK, but it's still got me scared :(

I might be able to give you an answer to that soon...

I ordered a package 8 days ago that has yet to arrive and I am starting to get very paranoid.

Starting to wonder if I am going to get a love letter or get raided by armed police.  :(
