Hi.

i ordered my 4th Gen iPod Touch off eBay. i was wandering how long the item could take in customs? Anyone care to shed some light on the matter?

BTW It was sent on 24/10/2010 and I think the seller is sending it via USPS Express Mail International (3-5) business days. Any ideas on when I can expect it?
 
If they sent it Express Mail International ask for the tracking number then call SAPO and get a local number so you can track it online.
 
LOL, I just tried to call them now.. Missed office hours by 4 minutes :( FML lol.. Thanks for the help though, I will definitely try this tomorrow. The tracking service for the USPS seems to be delayed because when I try to track all it says is that the sender has placed a postage order, that's all. Hope this works

Whose office hours?
 
I tried that number. The consultant said that she can't track a tracking number that begins with LJ, and mine does. She however did give me this number for the customs division 0119616200. i tried that number and they also just closed at 16h30, looks like I'll have to try again tomorrow
 
Usually takes about 2 weeks to get it from when they sent it (shipping + customs)...
 
If he sent it on 23/10/2010 from Kansas USA, how long would it take to get to Durban using Priority Mail International ?
 
I usually receive my goods from NY in 7-10 days.

Nice.. I was sending the guy sooo many messages just to ask him what service he was using. After a bout 5 messages of not replying, I used the word "disappointment" in the 6th message miraculously he replied in the 6th message with this:

My apologies. I use USPS Priority International. I will post the refund for the shipping back to your Paypal account. Sorry for the inconvenience. Thanks again.

bwana did you also experience delays with the Priority Mail International when it came to tracking online?
Because the seller is certain he sent it on the 23rd, the tracking only said on the 27th
 
The uspo isn't particularly accurate once it leaves their shores.
 
Just got back from the PO... Nothing yet. Will give it till about next Wednesday and then I'll check again..
 
Checked the po again today. 11 days since he sent it. Still nothing. Should I start worrying?
 
Ok now I am beginning to worry. I checked the post office today. Still nothing. I have read some bad things about USPS priority mail international where the person has waited over a month to get their item. Is there no customs help centre where I can call to see what the hold up is?
