I think he bought it through Geekbuying which didn't have the DHL option.

I've heard that if the phone doesn't have an ICASA sticker it may be withheld at customs. True or False?

False. My Xiaomi note 4 had no sticker of that. And I would use DHL for shipping. Its safer, and gets to you quicker. When I ordered mine last year, I chose DHL Expedited for like $30.

For those that ordered the Banggood special I just got my phone and they included malware free of charge so I suggest flashing your phone before setting it up or at least check your phone.

Edit: to fix it I used the following guides (EDL (Emergency Download) mode) worked for me:

There was someone who posted something somewhere; where they mentioned that they had brought in an Android Box which was held at customs until ICASA certification could be produced.

Any updates on where I can get covers for the Note 3?

I ordered a few off eBay but as we all know the version we got is a little taller so they didn't work (the silicon one did with a bit of stretching).
