Just a venting thread... I order an epic laser and some safety glasses from Blord, however they have been sitting in customs for 6 days. I feel like some sort of druggy checking my tracking info every 10 minutes, but what is a man to do?

Just a random question for you guys, what is the average/max amount of time you have waited for your lasers to come through US. Customs?

^MUCH easier. You ARE allowed to import laser parts like modules etc just not the full things. Australia has some really stupid laws TBH, but i'm sure you have laws that you laugh at as well :)

Do you guys from the US know if the customs work with full staff size?

Yesterday I send an E-Mail to the FAA and they send me an email that they're out of office cause of that shutdown.

Now I'm wondering how many governmental facilyties like FAA and FDA (maybe customs too) are really down?

Click to expand...

Customs is only operating at about 10%, I was told by a friend a t USPS at this rate it could be WEEKS before stuff goes all the way through for us in the US. Quicker if the shutdown ends.

*please note - this is just what my friend told me - I googled it and it says that customs is running at 100%.

Here is the link I foundLink
