Are customs on to me?
Alright guys, after a bit of advice. Bought 2 e-shine lights from China last week on Alibaba. They were sent FedEx priority to the UK, have been tracking them online. They've been in the international mail
Handling facility in stansted airport since 9pm last night, they were due to be delivered today, but now the estimated delivery date has changed to N/A. Phoned FedEx who said they are waiting to clear customs. Am
I being paranoid or would the customs be likely to log my details because I'm importing lights? Is it normal for items to take a day to clear customs? Cheers all

Its nothing to worry about mate.
Since your package is from outside of EU you have to pay an import tax, X% of the value of the items.
If you're lucky eShine has written a price much lower than what you actually paid, thus saving you moneez
ALWAYS ask for the price to be written down to the lowest (reasonable) amount, we used to save hundreds of $ by ordering stuff (airsoft ) from there rather than buying it within EU.
China fucking rules!!

In the USA, even with no taxes due, small items can take 3-7 days to clear customs.

UK's the same, they hold onto it for about a week often, and during that week it basically doesn't exist if you try and ask questions about it, if they were in any way displeased you get an official letter saying 'we're keeping your stuff, fuck you' basically

Haha this takes the piss, Your parcel will have been sent from china bang on, it will get to british customs in a few day's, all the way from china. Then it will sit there for a week sometimes, just waiting for someone there to say yes that can go. Then it will arrive next day. British customs are the hold up. I waited two months for a set of Uniseals from USA. that where in the Uk within a day or two. lol
British customs are crap. lol
