The funny part is i bought another card from the same seller on the sunday(15th) and received the card on Friday. So I guess my question is how long does customs take to clear usually?

    I've never had any problems (hundreds of foreign transactions) but I've also never had a shipment get held up at customs. I've heard some horror stories of lost packages and empty envelopes. Good luck.

    That facility is an international check point for foreign packages coming in or out of the US. There's one in Jamaica, NY, too. When you see a package being processed through there, it will often sit there for 7-10the days before resuming transit.

  • Depends upon the load on the system. On average, I've had packages clear in about 24 hours.
