Heliodromus Posted August 26 · Member Share Posted August 26 I had one coin registered mail from France sit in NY customs for 10 days before being delivered last week, and another also from France currently still sitting there (ISC NEW YORK) at 7 days and counting ... I'm curious if others are also currently experiencing delays though NY customs ? Does anyone know what is going on there ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
expat Posted August 26 · Supporter Share Posted August 26 I had an auction win from a dealer in San Jose who posted it on 2nd Aug, 3days later it was in NY. 13 days later it was shipped to Madrid. 2days after that I received it. So, yes, NY is slow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red_spork Posted August 26 · Member Share Posted August 26 They lost a recent coin of mine it seems. USPS pointing finger at NY customs, NY customs saying it's not there and left customs already. No tracking updates since 10 July. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sol_Invictus Posted August 26 · Member Share Posted August 26 Seems random to me. My last coin that came through NY customs about a month ago went right through in maybe a day, while the ones before that took about a week. Maybe it depends on if the items are flagged for more careful inspection? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roman Collector Posted August 26 · Patron Share Posted August 26 I purchased coins from Germany and France in the past three weeks and they each went through NY customs in less than a day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orange Julius Posted August 26 · Member Share Posted August 26 I’ve had a few coins sitting with customs in Los Angeles since July 12th. The post office guy recommended I consider them lost. I guess they have up to 45 days to process things, so still holding out hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heliodromus Posted August 26 · Member Author Share Posted August 26 Thanks, guys. So seems to be somewhat random. Things had been really slow at customs during covid, and they seemed to have got back to normal, but I guess normal NY customs isn't so great !
