Uh-oh. Dammit. I'm getting this sick feeling in my stomach as I check out the tracking 'history' of my large order (@ 10 rolls) from snuscentral. I never had to deal with this when ordering ecig stuff (from the UK or China) so I'm feeling a bit like a babe in the woods.
I only began snusing about 4 months ago--as an adjunct to vaping. (Helps with those missing alkaloids). It took me a while to find out what I liked. And by that time, all the PACT related craziness began. I was hoping to put away enough to last me a while.
The tracking log looks fine until the package enters Philadelphia. (Sorry for the CAPS)

Translation? Does anyone know what this is about? I take it my package was sitting around for most of the day. What's not clear to me is whether it's actually finally en route.
I've heard about problems/issues with UPS--including brokerage gouging. Unfortunately, there didn't seem to be any other option. I paid a few extra dollars for UPS express, partly because I'd heard that some customs fees were included and partly because I was hoping to save time and a little wear and tear on the 'merchandise'.
Anyone had similar experiences ordering from Sweden? Did you get hit (ow) with a customs bill? And, if so, how bad was it?
thanks.
