Customs setting me up?

[rastaman]

I have a package coming from over seas. It arrived in JFK. customs on the June 14th at 5:02 pm and then it said it cleared customs at 5:22 pm. On the 14th of June. However today is June 23, 2004 and the mail came and no package. I live in the Midwest I am a little uneasy. It has never taken this long in the past and my mind is running wild, thinking that customs may have put up on the tracking page that it has cleared to catch me off guard when the kick my door down. I have cleaned house in preparation for the worst. I may be over-reacting a bit however with all the shit going on in the world today you never can tell. Besides I am an everyday Joe I don't need that kind of heat... I am a pillar in my comunity. LOL I just wondered what you guys had to think… Thanks Again

i doubt they can even do anything... if anything watch out for a controlled delivery... they can't just bust down your door for having your name and addy on the package, cause for all you know, some other guy got it sent to your house...

I had a package grabed by customs I just said it wasnt mine when the empty packages came.

Well at what point do you think you chalk it up to being a possible controlled delivery? My wife is at home during the day. I have already kind of briefed her about making sure it is our regular mailman ECT. Has anyone experienced a controlled delivery? Check tracking # again this morning and it has said the same thing for 10 days... I have skimmed these types of post in the past but when it is happening to you it tends to "sober" you up.
As Jules said in Pulp Fiction "I have had what alcoholics call a moment of clarity"
Thanks for your replies

i dunno bro seems kinda long and all, 10 days since customs cleared it, i mean i would think if customs wanted to catch you in a controlled delivery would they really wait this long?

Just never sign for anything...

I have had gear seized and they asked me to go to the post office to claim the package... Uh yeah right! so I sent them a letter stating that i was not expecting a package and that I did not know anybody from Tia Land.

In a controlled delivery it is very obvious, different driver and they will ask you to sign for it.

BTW I have had packages take a month to arrive after they clear customs. In fact i almost always get a refund on packages sent internationaly becuase they are always late.

good luck

When it comes to setting up a controlled delivery, I am sure it takes time to set it up, (unless you live next to a major city's airport). I am not saying I believe your being set up though. Most likely if it's a controlled delivery, then you'll be asked to sign for it. Just tell them you're not expecting any package requiring a signature and tell them to return it to sender. Most important for now is to just chill out, no point in worrying over a very uncertain event.
