Have you ever got pinball parts stuck in customs? I have an order from Ministry of Pinball that's been stuck in customs for a month now. The company shipped it quickly, the Europe part of the shipping was super fast, it hit the states just a few days after ordering it, but it's been stuck in US customs for 4 weeks. How long can it take to verify what's in the package? Or hit me with another fee? USPS say they can't do anything about it, they will ship it as soon as customs releases it. Ridiculous, I've never had something like this happen before. I just want my stuff, tougher borders shouldn't keep pinball parts out!

We did have it happen with the first shipping container of pins we imported from Europe, I think that's more common. It sucked though because you have to pay to have it trucked to the customs warehouse and pay extra daily fees for the container. And I could tell from on the online checking, the physical inspection took 10 minutes. I'm sure they opened up the container, saw 35 pins, and said nope, we aren't moving around and opening up all of these.

I do feel with the package it's probably lost and USPS lost tracking on it when it went to customs and they are blaming it on customs. I'd think any package that goes to customs wouldn't be there more than a day or two. And this is a board and a translite, nothing sketchy.

Ha ha ha, appropriate to it almost being Halloween.
