Customs delay, or normal?

[ChaoticGemini]

I normally take the faster shipping since for about 30 cents more I am certain to have it delivered before noon. I figured I would just go with the regular shipping on my last order. Normally, I would have had it by now, so is this more of the customs back-up, or typical regular shipping?

as far as I know there's two types of shipping

UPS or regular mail ...

with regular shipping you don't get to track your order so yeah..

[ChaoticGemini]

Actually, in the US, we only have UPS with either "UPS Saver" or "UPS Express" choices.

All of thos FDA and customs scans sound like a load of horse shit. Makes me not want to order from snuscentral which I was planning on doing because Northerner with their high prices and annoying warning labels that make it a pain in the ass to crack a can are horse shit as well.

[Jwalker]

Yeah I didn't have any of that crap on my order.

[TommyGunBC]

I think it may just have to do with backlog of shipping from the holidays , and it has been what 2 days since you ordered hold on to your pants and it will come it will...............

OH didn't know that

hell it's expensive the ups

it used to be cheaper a few months back with Northerner

I mean for two rolls (1.2 kg) they charge me $68 now

[Jwalker]

Well you live in canada this is america dammit we expect our snus to come through the computer within five seconds, we'll accept two or three days or else we're going to complain or in this case worry. I had something like 5 days for an order to california which I consider good, I still would prefer being able to pay 12 bucks and wait the extra few days but since that's not an option I do have to admit UPS ships stuff a lot faster. That said the submission to the FDA whatever is new to me and makes me wonder we normally don't have that for our mail we don't even inspect like 95-99 percent of it because it would be too expensive. Unlike canada where people accept a delay in mail people and businesses in the U.S. wouldn't tolerate that.

I'm sure it will get here eventually and I still have a roll of Taboca left, so I have plenty of time to wait. All the import scans and Clearing Agency entries once it hit port seemed odd to me.

Those are normal. Your package doesn't move every time there is an entry. Most of those are nothing more than than an entry on some goverment bureaucrat's computer screen waiting for him to hit a key on his keyboard so it moves to next next bureaucrat so he can hit his key before it moves along and you might see multiple entries, it's kind of like a warning for them to remind them they haven't approved it yet.
