I in FL and expecting a package, it arrived at LA port on the 13th; they told me it will clear and deliver to me on 19th. I check tracking number; it said "custom on hand". I hope this is normal, what's the chance of getting detain?

thx for all your answers

Answer 1

From my experience, if everything goes well, it will clear the custom in one business day. But, sometimes it takes 3 days to a week. It depends on the content and how busy they are.

In your case, it should be pretty quick. Good luck!

Answer 2

Customs often takes a random package to check. If yours is lucky enough to bypass that, and the paperwork is in order, it should only take a couple of days.

Answer 3

There is no answer to you question. Customs works on their own time table. But, most packages clear in about a week.

Answer 4

if you are coming from US, usually the package would come in 3 days. i suggest, use the tracking number ( u can see that in the receipt, let the sender inform you about that tracking number) by the company to track down your package so u will know when it will specifically arrive. :p

Answer 5

If you send one to China it takes 6-7 days to clear. Hope it is better coming this way.

Answer 6

DHL's nickname is "day and a half late". So if the person sent it express or standard, just add an extra day and a half.
