Package confiscated by customs?

[abhowe]

Good news..... MY package from Greece arrived today..... USPS says it is still in New York ........ I even called the Post Office this AM and they said it is in New York..... But I got a box at the UPS Store and they just e-mailed me saying it just arrived.....
We should all boycott the USPS, they are incompetant......

I wouldn't give up just yet; keep in mind it's nearing Thanksgiving, following up Christmas. I've been ordering from V4L since October (not too long, I know) and have never waited more than the 3 days for my things.

Fed Ex and UPS will get busy too, and while I've had bad experiences with them as well, I wouldn't give up on them wholly.

General, did you ever find out why they kept your package so long.......

No clue whatsoever... My guess is that JFK is just real busy. I think the risk of confiscation is REAL small. I went to the FDA website where they list all the confiscated packages - there are a total of 50 shipments that were seized. Most of these shipments put "e-cigarettes and e-liquid" on the manifest. Most chinese companies are smart enough to say electronic lung device or candle scents or metal tubing - the list goes on.

If the declared value is above a certain dollar amount ($800?) it's gonna get looked at. If $2000 worth of 510's go through as a $35 box of junk, right through with it...

its day 4 and I still haven't receive my V4L package! It never takes longer then 3 days with usps, this is my first time ordering from V4L, is it possible the name Vapor4Life tipped customs off or something?

NewJoizy, Has your package arrived yet?
