Anyone in here ever have an item stopped by customs? The shipper contacted me letting me know US Customs has the package and it is not being held up by them.
Anyone have any contacts with Customs? Being held in Cincinnati customs.

Often but never held for more than a day or two.
How long has it been there? Do you have a tracking number? I would not be surprised if many things get delayed in customs now as they try to figure out if a tariff is needed to be paid. The longest I have had is a 5 day delay. Not much different than an item stuck at a USPS hub for a few days .... they get behind and things pile up for a little while.
Every international package gets processed through Customs. I've never had an issue, nor has there ever been anything to pay... it's just been one more stop along the way that usually takes no more than a few days.
One of mine from Germany insured
Stopped in NY customs and disappeared never to turn up.
After months the dealer made me whole. I have had problems with German purchases. Some have gotten to me. One dealer shipped me a single crown in a box within a box within a box. The outer box was 24” x 24” x 24””!!. I got that one!!
