Ordered 5 801 attys a bit back from eastmall. They are coming to Minnesota so I'm guessing they went into customs in Chicago. They have been there since Aug 3rd at 9:03pm... Sucks if they would take those.
5 attys stuck in customs?

Ya i was thinking that but the 3 full days and the usps tracking (which i know is just bunk) has not even told me where it is...
USPS said:
I had My attys stuck in NY customs for over a week, then they showed up. dont worry be happy.
please read previous threads before starting more of these..........this will have 75 posts by tomorrow
I have read many of the threads but the fact that it has been 3 full delivery days without any information on where it is urks me a bit and thought the community could use the knowledge.
There is full disclosure on ordering from China available on this forum. Surely you read some of the threads. Your order will indeed go through, but it isn't worth saving a couple bucks for the hassle. Look at it like an adventure. Best way to think about your order waiting in customs is that absense makes the heart grow fonder.
OK, I'll do it in this thread, someone else gets to do the next one:
You'll have your stuff before the tracking site figures out what planet you're on.
My second order from eastmall showed the box hadn't even left China when the letter carrier knocked on the door with it in her hands. Don't pay any attention to the tracking information... unless it says something like "please remain seated and await further instructions from the agents who are kicking down your door".
Seriously though, atomizers can be had domestically for the same prices or better right now. The only compelling reason I have for placing international orders is juice. I just can't bring myself to pay $20 for a 30ml bottle of the same stuff I can buy from China for $5.50.

The reason I place my order from China will be apparent to you after I get my camera's battery! lol The attys are made slightly different and IMO they pull nicely and don't whistle like many of the other 801 attys I have tried

seriously, guys. not everyone is a "grizzled vet" like you all are. the guy just wanted to hear some reassurance, maybe some education. isnt our mission on this board to educate and support our fellow vapers? not to be all "sigh" and "ugh" and "*growl* read previous threads on this *growl*". that is not very neighborly. in my job, i answer the same questions over and over and over, when, if they were paying attention in class, they would know where to go to find their answers, be it in knowlege bases, etc. but it is my job, and i do it because i was once sitting in that chair, taking those calls, and someone helped me with my questions.
if youre not the sort who enjoys helping others, or it is not your calling, cool. just dont read the thread. or read it, do your little "sigh" verbally and dont reply. or become a mod if you want to control how people speak on this forum. either way, you could and have done better by other people. build the community. thats what were here for.

Well thank you for the understanding... just an update, no update 
. USPS has not changed any of the status and I am still atty less sad face once again

Not sure if this will help, my last shipment said still in NY when the postman knocked at the door. It didn't update til later that night.
Foreign Acceptance only means that it's in the system. It hasn't even gotten to Customs yet.
ya that is the part that made me actually post. I have read the other posts and most say that they are actually in customs not just foreign acceptance
Are you tracking thru EMS or USPS? I found that I can enter the same tracking info into USPS. Like the previous poster said 'Foreign Acceptance' just means it is in transit.
