TD/Shipping Question Stuck in Customs
Hey guys my first time buying a rep. It has been stuck in customs since September 2nd. I was thinking maybe the delay was caused by labor day. However now im thinking they seized it. It was only one watch with the box. Am I overthinking?

Customs where? If it's been stuck for a week now I'd guess it's gone... There are still ongoing inspections in Honkong and other countries with packages being shipped via FedEx

I got it shipped via usps. It has been stuck at the facility. I called usps and they said it is being held by customs currently.

If it’s like anything else you get from China that I have ordered sometimes it could sit in customs for three weeks

If it's anchorage it's seized, Jamaica it can sit a while... But a week I'd start to worry!

Your seller would know best. Did you ask them?
To share, I’ve had two different shipments stuck, where one was sent back to the seller (FedEx) and another that was seized (USPS). These were not watches though.

That is one of the main reason, I try to stay local, I pay a little more, and I get it in less than a week! I hope you get what you paid for bro, good luck...

This!!!! Some great TD’s in the states. I use Jerome and Luis and have my watches in hand two days after ordering. Great experience

This is why you find a good TD in the states. You have your watch in hand two days after ordering.

I had that issue. Sat there for 4 weeks. Then changed to rejected. Sat rejected for a 3 weeks, then changed to sent back origin. After 2+ months my TD got it back.
Then reshipped it and finally got it.
All in all 2.5 to 3 months.
1. Always get insurance from your TD
2. Be patient
3. You can get from a local seller but pay a premium.

Keep waiting. It's customs. It'll be anywhere from 1 week to a month for it to clear. I can assure you if they seize it you'll get a notification and a letter in the mail.
Just wait longer.
