an explanation? as to recent missing/seized overseas supplier packages??

This would seem to be a "black hole" that an ecig order would not likely be resurrected from:
washingtonpost.com

if your package is pulled into this dragnet, do you really think that it would get resealed and forwarded to it's eventual destination? Not to mention the possibility that due to the "information about networks" being accumulated (as mentioned in the article) won't lead to a much higher incidence of packages NEVER getting beyond this trap for "illicit goods" that has been instituted.

Coming into work this morning I heard on the radio that customs grabbed a package from China that was labled as Xmas Ornaments. Inside there were bongs.

Looks like oversea shipments are going to be targeted in more ways that one.

Wow!

If the government had taken the money spent on this operation and used it to enforce anti-trust laws, prescription drugs in the United States might be affordable.

What a concept?

Sure makes me wonder. My order from HealthCabin arrived in New York ISC on 11/13/09 and has been "inbound to customs" since that time. I have never had any issues getting my orders from HealthCabin in the past, usually get them in 5-6 days. Amy assured me this is normal and could be in customs from 1 to 6 days. I wonder???

that sounds like a long time... my package hit customs on 11-17, received delivery today at noon! (not from health cabin though)

Maybe it's in the name "HealthCabin". Sounds like they are after pills, but I'm sure a lot of small parcels will fall under the scrutiny. Anyone know if HealthCabin will resend my order? At least I paid via "paypal".

So no more Nutcracker/de-seeder/grinder/rolling machine ornaments for the tree?
