delivery from Asia

sharpy2010

Hi Guys,
I placed an order 4 weeks ago from a asian website. I have received orders before in the past in the 2 week mark but unfortunately I was sick for the last few weeks and I have had no notification from them since they posted it standard delivery 3 weeks ago.
My question is does it normally take 3 weeks for standard post or would customs seizes it? no guns in the package just parts.
If customs seized it then would they leave me know or what? If I enquire and they havent seized it would this just make them aware to the package?
Many Thanks
Sharpy

some sites are not as "on the ball" as others when i comes to shipping,i have had stuff from RSOV and Ebairsoft take up to a month to arrive in the country only be be delayed another week by customs. if customs have it they will write out to you (for their pound of flesh) and this could take a week. did you try track it?

For some reason, my last two orders from airsoftpeak and hobby king have taken five weeks to deliver. Up till then, 2-3 weeks was the norm. Don't know why?

Might not be the case but the chinese new year might have caused the delay it only started at the end of jan and runs for 2-3 weeks.alot tend to shut up shop for the few weeks of it.The shop might have got it sent but might not have got through there postal in time.

For standard post I usually get about 4-6 weeks delivery time from HK. And that's if customs doesn't check it. On occations it has been 3 weeks but majority is in the 4-6 weeks mark.

I ordered from airsoft club. First order was here in 2 weeks but they left something out, so I worked a deal with them and picked up a few more things for free postage and now its taken forever!

Thanks Tony, this is by far the longest I have ever waited from HK

I ordered from a new supplier PX Airsoft in HK on the 28/2/2014, it was posted on 6/3/2014 and left HK on 9/3/2014.

I'm starting to worry now as it's never taken this long from ebairsoft or airsoftpeak.

Is there something going on with postage from HK?
