Actually 3 days is not that bad IMO.
From reading many posts over the years the west coast
seems to be slower.
You might start worrying after 2 weeks however.
Good luck.

I think it's about volume and the East has more because more people are concentrated in a smaller area.  More POE get a huge volume.  I have heard from a reliable source that the first priority is explosives, then illicit substances not pharmaceuticals so much.

yeah Im not worried but the east coast has been much slower for my last order. They usually go west and only sit 1 day and homebound in 2 more days. I love that speed.....lol

Hello Dupree:

I suspect that what you perceive as a customs delay may, in fact, be the result of where in the world your gift was shipped from, the method your gift was shipped by, and the size of the gift. That said however, I really have no idea regarding how long my personal gifts take to get through customs because I never track anything.

If it only takes 3 days on average to clear, then that is no problem for me. I always order early, then I just sit back and wait w/o watching. I only become alerted after 3 weeks in transit after which I start acting like I have to pee really badly.

There are a number of major POE's in the NE which service a massive population with a massive amount of overseas mail. I feel anonymous within this system and I hope to remain as such. You are no different than me Dupree.

I Wish You the Best of Luck
