May I give my thoughts on this...

I have ordered may items off eBay and I would receive my items within 2 weeks the most until one shippment that never showed up. I was feeling really sick and upset as this one was my biggest $$ purchase yet. Well I'll be darn to find a nice brown package on my door step after waiting 3 1/2 weeks for it but guess what else was stickered all over the brown package.... CUSTOMS. That's right, customs had held it and opened it to check the contents. Must have been a random thing or maybe my name and address was logged onto their computer system and it got flagged for ordering so many parts from RC Boyz. I don't know but maybe that is what has happened with your package. Do keep in mind that you order your item over the American Holiday and my guess it that security may have been a tad tight for things crossing the border.

Good Luck and don't worry to much unless it's been 2 months since you ordered the eBay item.

Hmm you could be right about the flagging thing, but generally you have to get caught bringing something into the country that is a no no but not illegal (illegal mean in this country and the one you shipped it from...otherwise the mounties not brown knock on your door)

Generally they check like 1 in a 10,000 items...its generally picked at random...customs lost a huge dvd package of a friend of mines..for almost 4 months b4 it turned up.

Wizen how did you work things out with UPS so as not to get your bum drilled?

Hmm, a "Not for resale" sticker on the box, "$0 insurance value", "gift sticker", "warranty replacement". There are others.
