So I've recently made the largest single card purchase since coming back to the hobby, and it's being shipped via ems from Indonesia. The last update from 6 days ago is the following.
AMERICA US 2015-04-09 17:15 Arrival at inward OE
AMERICA US 2015-04-09 17:16 Processing document by Customs. Now is it normal for processing to take this long or am I just panicking after only 6 days? I've had other mails from overseas and it's never seemed to take this long. If anyone has any knowledge about ems and customs that would be greatly appreciated!

It's being shipped EMS? Should be moving quicker. Maybe Indonesia just sucks.

Out of every 10 packages that I receive via EMS, I say 1 of them is stuck at customs for about 7 days on average. I would give it another day or two before filing an inquiry (which should be done if no movement).

Thank you. Can I do that through the website? Just from a quick glance I only saw some foreign phone number to call lol

Thank you... Go figure the one time I decide to shell out for a card I really wanted this happens... Makes me really worried about ever buying anything from overseas or buying high end cards online anymore :/

Its normal....nothing against Indonesia as I lived there before but its just how it is. Once it reaches the US, customs here may hold it too for a period of time.
I think if EMS takes over 14 -21 days minus customs, then something is wrong

So the only inquiry selection in the ems website is this... And I can't call from my cell phone. Does anybody have a clue how I should do this? Any help would be great!! EMS Indonesian Post (http://ems.posindonesia.co.id/index.php?param=inq)
