This was an order I placed to Heavens Gifts on 11/29. Still waiting for the package. I never had a package go through customs until this one :(

Chicago seems to be a black hole. I waited 30+ days for a delivery from Canada of a box of floppy disks that stalled at Chi customs. My China vaping supplies always go through SF or Honolulu customs and get here in around a week.

Let me know how this goes, I'm thinking about placing an order through them.

Went through. Only held up in customs for a couple of days. Total time from order to arrival 22 days. :(

The Christmas rush really delays things. Although now is the time to buy, as there will be so many packages they can never inspect every one of them.

This was highly unusual and probably due to the Christmas rush. Normally I get my packages from them in 3-4 business days.

Here is an update.

The company sent a replacement package of 1L e-juice. I had to split shipping costs with them on the second shipment. It sailed through Chicago customs in three days this time. The original package is still sitting there.

I'm going to assume it's been seized or ended up in the DLO. If I'm wrong, I'll get a free liter one of these days. This is 36mg that I intend to cut down to 18.

Picked my package up at the PO. The shipping bag had been cut open/taped shut. The box inside had a portion cut away to reveal one of the 500ml bottles.

No seizure notice yet for the package still in customs since Dec 2nd.

I have 20 atomizers that hit Chicago yesterday. The wait begins anew.

Edit: Atomizers spent a total of 16.5 hours in customs before being released.

We have all our problems through Chicago customs. It seems like they stepped their game up lately. The best thing to do is NOT call them. There's a chance they are working slow and haven't gotten to your package yet, and nothing is worse than calling them up and pointing out what you have in there.
