Default US Customs

To those of you who ordered foreign parts and have had things go through customs... How long does it usually take and should I expect a damaged shipment?

It's usually sits between 2-4 weeks at customs. So pull up a chair because you might be there for a while.

so does someone care to explain what happens to your paackage in customs.

I'm sure they just dont like having shit sit around for months for no reason.

You'd be suprised.


But I'm sure they just get scanned through to make sure there are no bombs and then sniffed by dogs to make sure there are no drugs.

Hmm... A buddy of mine sent me some taillamps from Germany and they were in my hands 7 days later. However, this was sent from the post office at Rhein Main. APO's may curtail some of the customs fiasco.
