This is my 3rd time selling an item on eBay, everything was simple until now. I shipped the item on July 9th, from Mexico to Netherlands, according to the tracking number it arrived on July 18th to NLAMSA Customs (NL = Netherlands AM = Amsterdam SA = Schiphol Airport), but it has been sitting there for a while (4 bussiness days and counting). Idk what to do, fortunately my client has 704 score, so he's more experienced than I, but i'm kind of panicking right now.

Maybe it's in the customs officers hands...

This delay might have to do something with the flight MH-17 tragedy.

Maybe, because it comes from mexiko, they will check it for drugs.

 

Depending on how much packages comes with the flight, it need sometimes more than a week to check international shippings. So, be a little patient.

I don't think so...

 

I even can hardly figure how this could be related.

Why? The plane left from the Amsterdam Airport. People are very shocked and sad (to say the least)  there about this tragedy.

Nothing to worry.. Might even take up to 2 weeks if it's getting inspected.

 

What forwarder did you use? 

 

If you need help from The Netherlands send me a PM.

Oh I'm really sorry, I saw "russia", "ukraine", and "malaysia", I didn't know a lot of passengers were from NL.

No worries my friend.

At least with the tracking number your buyer can see where the package is and should realise that any delay from there is through no fault of yours.

Four days? That is nothing to worry about. 

 

I had one shipment held up in UK until the buyer paid Customs duty. Could be similar situation, but since it has only been four days it could just be a common delay.

I've only had 4 international sales and so far it takes between 7-9 days after panic sets in. 

I wouldn't worry about it.  I've had packages sit in customs for weeks before getting released.  Most international buyers realize that delays can occur and are patient.

I guess i'll have to wait more, it was like a 5 kg package, so that may play a role.

I used EMS. And thanks I hope everything goes well.
