Abe Fromen 1,619 Posted March 15, 2019 What's the longest a watch has been held in customs before being released? I'm at 10 days now and counting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fatarms 7,758 Posted March 15, 2019 I once had one sit for 15 days in NYC before the tracking showed it moved to the next location. I fully expected "the letter" after the first week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Abe Fromen 1,619 Posted March 16, 2019 Literally an hour after I posted this, tracking changed to show it's been released. Should arrive Monday. That's the longest I've had something sitting with CBSA. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have two different packages sitting there. One since March 31 and another since March 27. What the hell are they doing up there? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wow...so one before me and one right after. I bet they're all sitting in the same pile right now.... What's the average "release" time for the hold? 3 weeks? Or is it gone/seized now?

Actually, the longest I've waited (I actually posted it above to the OP) was 15 days, but that was going through NYC. The one from the 27th is a Cartier rep sent via FedEx (Marvellous's suggestion) and the one from the 31st is a couple of cheap, non replica watches from AliExpress sent via Honk Kong post. I think they might sit a little longer on shipments from China, I dunno. I'll just keep waiting Gotta have patience here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mine is still stuck though :( but thanks for letting me know. Hmmm...since yours 3/27 and 3/31 were released and mine is right in between yours 3/29 without any movement. Mine may be in trouble.. :( Edited April 12, 2019 by rolexlover101 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
