How long do items usually take in customs?

Yea man your package has been seized more then likely..

I only order my goods by DHL

Last week I got a 3k order of about 400 items by DHL. I

My supplier knows how to ship right and i get in like 4 boxes...

I usually more then quadruple my money after I sell my goods in a month

I talked to my supplier and he said this does happen to items coming from China. He said some of his other customers have had packages in customs for a couple weeks. Oh, btw, my package is 10 items or so..really small package.

Regardless, if it was seized, I'm surprised that such a small order would be seized. The package weighed 6kg - 7kg MAX...weird.

PS. Good to hear some success bro. That's a good amount of profit!

6-7 KG package filled with replicas?
dont bother to get your items back
They are contacting now proapbly with company layer
and im 99.99% sure that you wont get your items back
 
If it's more than a few days that's a bad sign. Of all the stuff I've had shipped from China, every single time it was in customs more than a few days it was seized and I never got it! I hope that's not the case here.

Am I missing something here? :S

I hear stories of people make much larger orders. Btw, my measurement as far as the weight was a bit off. The package is closer to 4.5 kg.

I think maybe you're mixing up your units ?
 
yeah unfortunately your stuff has probably been seized now to be honest, but I would find it near impossible to believe that any company would contact a lawyer re 10 pieces of clothing so don't worry about it, hardly crime of the century.

Everything depends on what country are you shipping replicas to,
and what express company are you using (EMS is bad option)
For example you can send even 10kg of replicas (mixed or same sort) to UK and you will receive it for sure
But you can be suied for 1 pair or replica shoes in germany and they will check every pacakge very stricly from china
Depends also what items are inside, once i was suied for 1 replica bag from LV
They told me to pay 1000Euro :D
i told them that they lost their minds
Every time when you are waiting that mean that customs are calling for company representant (of brand of course)
And each time the representant got 1 month to get to customs and check if the goods are orginal or not
If he wont come after 30 days, they release items,
For example, i never got representant from NIKE on time, but LV and other luxury brands are showing up in 1 week max
If i were you i would call them and ask what the hell is goign on with your package
just attack them all the time : )
 
Thanks everyone. And sorry about the quadruple post. BHW was acting up last night.

Spoke to the supplier, and he isn't being very helpful. I mean, I realize it is not completely his fault, but I think an honest seller would make some sort of compromise as his goods were never delivered. I'll be adding him to the shit list.

As for contacting customs, am I the only one who thinks that is a bad idea..?

With the added security from customs the last few months it takes longer for packages to get scanned and looked over.
 
Okay guys, GOOD NEWS. My items were released from customs today! So they were in there for 9 days. So for everyone who loses hope after a couple of days...DON'T !

Hey thedon23, question: Would you recommend getting into buying replicas from China? Any particular websites you (or anyone else out there) would recommend?
 
Okay I know this is an old thread. But, I bought something from someone on Etsy. They live in China. Its not a replica item. Its just a pair of shoes she paints stuff on them and sells them. Its sort of like http://punkyourchucks.com/ but wayyyyy cheaper. She has sold over 1300 pairs of these shoes and has a 4.5 star rating review. She shipped via EMS as well. I got both the USPS website up and the English EMS version up. Both say the same thing:

Processed Through Sort Facility
CHONGQING EMS, CHINA

I ordered on Dec 17th. They got shipped by Dec 31st. And I guess they have just been... sitting there, in China lol.

Would something like THAT get caught up in customs? She said they would be here in 7-8 days. Well, they were a late Christmas Present for my gf.
