Customs clearance normally takes a matter of minutes or hours but it can take days or even weeks if there's something wrong or your goods need to be inspected.

In most cases, customers receive the order shipped by China Post in 30 days. Sometimes it may take up to 2 months, but it doesn't happen often (around 1/5 of all orders). If it takes more than 2 months for the package to arrive, it means something might go wrong at the customs.

Re: How long does it take a shipment from South Korea to arrive in the U.S. (N.H.) My experience from that area if a package is not held up in customs is 2 to 3 weeks.

You can expect 7 to 14 business days using standard International postage. A typical first-class mail takes approximately 10 days. Bear in mind that most mail takes three to five days to cross the US – and travels faster between major cities with airports.

Like everyone else said here, it really just depends on what courier service you use to get that package from the UK to the US. Typically, if you use some kind of standard shipping, it will likely take about 5 to 8 business days.

The customs release of a shipment can take anywhere from 20 minutes to several days depending on circumstances. Once your Customs Broker has completed your entry for customs and transmits the data, it takes about 20 minutes for the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) to receive it.

Once it is scanned though, they say it can take up to 24 hours to be updated on the site. Try not to worry just yet. Most of my international packages via priority mail like that aren't track-able online, I have found. You can take that customs number in person to the post office in person.

After receiving your order, we need about 1-3 business days to process your order and ship it. The exact delivery time then depends on the delivery service in each country, non working days, extra busy times during some holidays (like Christmas). On average the package is delivered in the time period of two weeks.

US customs is generally very quick. I get most items from China and other places ( assuming the seller shipped immediately) in about 10–14 days. There are exceptions though.

Shipping takes 2-3 weeks. Sometimes I will get the pleasant surprise of my package arriving before 2 weeks (most often when I order items with the icon that says “ships 24 hours”), but since it ships from overseas, just go ahead and assume 2-3 weeks.
