Default Atomizers Seized By Customs?

I ordered 30 atomizers from BestECig. Nothing else, just atties.

Tracking the package shows that they were delivered to US customs 11 days ago.

Should I be paranoid about seizure yet? Is 11 days in Customs normal? It seems a little long to me but I have no idea how long their inspection can take. If they can take up to a month then I'll start worrying in a few weeks.

If they do get seized, will I get any notification, like a letter from Customs or something?

On one hand, my Best Ecig orders have typically cleared customs in one day. On the other, I'd think you'd receive a seizure notice. Of course, it's the government we're talking about, so that notice might not come for another month or two.

Truly, yes, that is a bit odd and I would be concerned.

I had a package of 30 atomizers that required 4½ days for clearance through customs at JFK.

all it means is that USPS dosnt update their tracking system..

it says in NY until a few hours after its delivered to the customers mail box.. for us its %100 normal.. we call this "lost" period the USPS black hole.. things always pop out but the time spent in the hole is unpredictable..

Every order from them has arrived in 5 days at most sometimes 3. Sounds grim.

I just received some floppy disks that play on my player piano. They left Canada 40 days ago. USPS tracking showed them stuck in Chicago for 35 days!

Still, hope you'll keep us abreast of your shipment. I'm about to order a bunch of BA112s from Best.

I'm used to that.

But 11 days? Even USPS isn't that bad.
