Hello, all.
Has anybody here ever had trouble with Customs in regards to receiving your package? IE: Holding it for an undisclosed amount of time, without sending a letter, and without notification of what happened or even a confirmation that they're holding or examining the item?!
I have had a pretty large resin bust in transit to me from Norway since March 4th. As of March 9th, the tracking number entered into the USPS.com website yielded the message "Inbound to US Customs" from USPS in NY, and from there the package just VANISHED...There have been zero updates since that time, and numerous phone calls to USPS's 1-800 line, US Customs, and even my local post office have only yielded this response: "Sorry, there's nothing anyone can do, including you and the seller. If it gets to you, great! If it doesn't, then you're screwed and we can't help you. Give it 30 to 45 days to process."....Many people also add, "Did you purchase with Paypal? You might want to preserve your dispute rights by filing a dispute around the 39th or 40th day if you still haven't received your package."
I'm going NUTS here, guys.....This item is one of a kind and one of my absolute holy grail pieces, but I am being forced to sit here and wait for something that never comes, or at least until I'm forced to file a Paypal dispute due to non-receipt of package. Can anyone offer some advice or insight that may help to locate, retrieve, return, or otherwise help me to change the course of this progressively depressing affair?!
Thanks for reading...
