Package delayed in Memphis. Seething.

[thethedew]

FedEx International package, with 52 pages of art, held up by customs in Memphis. I worry the longer it sits the higher the liklihood I'm not going to get all 52 pages. Things can go walkabout....

 

Anyone have experience with this particular worry/frustration?

only with lost luggage, where a bottle of woodford reserve mysteriously disappeared from my suitcase in transit through customs.

 

oddly, everything else was left neatly in place.

 

though this was in a former communist state, so it was more expected than it might be here in the states.

Was this the same former communist state that may confiscate, I mean be gifted, someone's NBA championship ring?

All arrived safely today.

I recently had a horrible experience with the US post office delivering art a few months ago. This was an International Express package from Spain to Indiana. The Spanish postal service got it to New York with no problem. The package was at customs for a few days. That seemed normal. Then to Mobile, AL and then to Memphis, TN. The tracking info said the package departed the Memphis facility. Then nothing. I had the post office searching for the package for two weeks before it turned up on a facility in Des Moines, IA. Finally I got the "express" package after a total of about 3 weeks.
