I have a yellow Emergency UTC being shipped to me from Germany.
The seller shipped it by insured post and it arrived in the US on November 19.
:lol:

The USPS website says it has arrived and then no more entries.
:cry:

Could it be in Customs being held? If so, held for what? Shouldn't someone contact me? Seller is chasign it up from their end but no luck.

Thoughts anyone?

Probably awaiting inspection - there are always backlogs at this time of year. It's definitely worth followin up with customs though - that does seem excessive!

I hope so. The seller in Germany is chasing it. According to the USPS site - a package tracking number is insufficient. I need to just wait for either delivery or a detention notice (and presumably a charge).

It's so close I can smell it (or is that because I have a big nose??).
:shock:

Watching you wait for your UTC clad pieces is like watching a lion waiting for a gazelle. You know the outcome, but it is still intriguing! :lol:

Ah, that's really the worst part of the delivery chain. When you track it and see it is very close to you, but not in your hands. I hope you get it soon!
