Tracking/customs

ad

Just a quick question with regards to tracking and these asshole customs agents. I've been very lucky with getting packs without hassle by customs. Has anyone seen this message while tracking?

"Retention reason : Awaiting presentation to customs commissioner"

More specific has anyone had a pack seized after seeing this?

I appreciate any input.

I had one seized recently, it said, and still says "product has arrived in xxxxxx and will be reviewed by customs"

If it says anything like that for more than a few days you can likely write it off as a loss

Did you get a letter?

Yep that's exactly what it says on my postal site and is what I'm figuring.

try living in aus, anything that comes in a vial and is sent with a tracking number is usually seized.

Ha no thanks ill pass on living there but love the country. Pretty sure out customs are a close second but just comes down to risk/reward......

It's a sick feeling thinking your pack is gone to LE!!!!!

Weird I've never seen that. I had one pack seized but it never showed that on tracking. It just showed the pack "inbound into customs" for like a week. Then a week later it was "outbound from customs." The package later arrived with the gear missing and a seizure letter....

It says two different things on two different tracking sites but that one makes me pretty certain it's seized. I also live in one of the toughest damn countries to get in. Crossing my fingers
