Speaker components "Inbound into customs" for almost 4 weeks

[runethechamp]

Hi, just wanted to see if anyone here has had this problem before with speaker components (tweeters and crossovers). I bought the parts from Sweden and since March 13 the status of the package, which is shipped by post, has been "Inbound into customs". A general google search gives me a clue about what is going on, but most hits deal with importing stuff from China (that is probably designer brand knock-offs) or steroids. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I've never had one stuck in US Customs that long, but an inquiry by the sender usually gets it unstuck (as a sender i've had to do that a couple times)

Two 15" woofers ordered from US, shipped to Canada.

I received one of the woofers approximately 3 weeks after ordering. It took a further 22 days for the other one to be delivered. The item numbers showed them to be 150,000 items apart in Canada customs and because they were so far apart, I had to pay full duty twice. Eventually I was reimbursed when they realized it was a single two box order.

To where was the inquiry sent? USPS or Customs? And how did you do the inquiry. phone, email, mail?

Thanks for the help.

Well, there was no need to worry. The elements and crossovers arrived today. Thanks for the help.
