pascal Posted March 16, 2010 Author Report Posted March 16, 2010 it should be with you soon then is it normal that it takes 2 days ? a friend of mine says normally it ie RELEASED FROM CUSTOMS the same day.
spooky driver Posted March 16, 2010 Report Posted March 16, 2010 i've had entries that go back and forth from 'Handed over to Customs' 'Despatch from Sorting Centre' but it's always good when it goes through Coventry. honestly i dont remember how long it 'rests' with customs but it sounds cool so far.
permabull Posted March 16, 2010 Report Posted March 16, 2010 Yup - look out for the postman, you'll have your watch any day now! The trail usually stops there for me - I've had things delivered to my door when the online status is still "Handed over..."
dropbear2008 Posted March 16, 2010 Report Posted March 16, 2010 From experience stuff going through Heathrow can take up to 4 days in Customs, Coventry 2 days max. Should be with you soon.

pascal Posted March 17, 2010 Author Report Posted March 17, 2010 when i look in ems tracking today it still says ((handed over to customs)), but when i track the number at parcelforce i see that yesterday evening something happened :it now is sorted again. does this mean i am safe now?????????????????? 16-03-2010 22:12 National Hub Sorted in hub 14-03-2010 22:48 International Hub AWAITING CUSTOMS CHARGING 14-03-2010 22:48 International Hub Arrived in destination country 14-03-2010 11:56 Heathrow Airport Arrived at destination country 12-03-2010 01:27 Delivery Agent - GUANGZHOU - PTT Left origin country 11-03-2010 20:50 Delivery Agent - CHINA Collected from customer
pascal Posted March 17, 2010 Author Report Posted March 17, 2010 and did you got it it arrived 1 hour ago . tracking ems still says HANDED OVER TO CUSTOMS. tracking on parcelforce is correct though.
