  1. OK, bro. Use whatever service you want. But you got EXTREMLY lucky to get a INTERNATIONAL Registered mail piece faster than Express (EMS = Express Mail Service/International) Customs are what cause 100% of the delays in mail processing from outside the USA. They are totally unpredictable, sometimes your package will sit in customs mere hours and sometimes it will sit there for WEEKS depending on what the current security protocols are at the moment....

    Ask ANY member here who has ordered several things from overseas and I bet their EMS parcels get to them much faster than registered 97% of the time.

    Moral of the story, you just got caught in one of the hightened security crackdowns at customs! Your registered package is considered negligible to customs, they are usually small and unisured. Where EMS parcels cost much more to send they expect them to contain higher value items. Meaning they check (xray/sniffer/etc) a higher percentage of EMS packages. Especially if they originate in China, Peoples Republic of.

    This is what it said on track and trace...Stop by the customs office (incoming mail) Reason for non-delivery is not included in the classification
  2. Yeah well thank you for the info but its Still BS that it takes that long with EMS. When people pay that much it should be to their doorstep in 4 days or less, 2 of those days going through customs. Xpress,UPS and FEDEX are a hell of alot better USPS is failing and overseas mail service has made a fool of USPS and customs. IF usps did their own customs check like UPS or FEDEX it would be alot faster but for some dumb reason they leave it up to this country. We allready have enough idiots running this country as it is, why make it worse..

  3. Yeah i guess i got lucky but its just a pain in the ass for having to wait 8 days now when i paid 35$ to get it delivered in 4-5 days. Its coming from poland also and not china, i dont order from china 1/2 the [censored] from there is probably seized anyway, if it was coming from China i would be lucky to receive the package period. But i guess ill just continue to wait..Ive never had this problem before anytime ive ordered with EMS..And BTW do packages coming in from canada using Xpress go through customs? I got that package in 2 days flat..

  4. duke1973 that is stright up BS man. I have ordered 3 packages in the last 2 weeks for my business with EMS shipping international for 2 and 1 registered mail. The registered mail has allready arrived with my business cards but the 2 other packages with my posters/fliers have been stuck saying "inbound into customs" after going through the ISC sort facility for over a week now..How do you explain the EMS packages being stuck there and the registred mail allready arriving and they were all mailed out the same exact day...I have lost alot of money allready being without these things for my band management business and I will never use EMS shipping again when i can get the packages to arrive alot quicker with registered mail and its a HECK of ALOT cheaper..This slow mail service crap really fuels my fire....I had to get a loan just to be able to eat untill i can get word out about my bands. we allready had to pass on 2 concerts because we couldnt bring in enough people with just gaining attention in the music market just word-to-word. I will have to look towards the local radios and possibly TV.
