Chicago Customs - Recent Experiences?

[Musing]

Holy Cr*p!!! It is moving! Hopefully with something in it

It is a special day for me today.....so this made it even more special !!!

I got a package yesterday that went straight through Chicago. I think it was there for maybe 2 days. I am stunned, because Chicago usually takes forever and half the time they decide to just keep it

will update -will know soon .

Question : Has anyone ever had a call/with message from a 3rd party logistics Co. asking you to call them back so they could deliver a package?

 

[Moself]

Yeah, it's definitely a bummer @PeanutStar

I wonder if it's the backlog that is causing some parcels to go through CHI, rather than NYC. NYC might not have the resources, so some mail might be routed through CHI, during this whole thing? I'm not to sure, but might be worth doing some research.

I received a 50% reship on mine(way before I got the LL), months ago, after giving the initial shipment about 60 days to show up. In the letter, the image included looks like the package may have been damaged in a processing machine. Or they may have just made it look like that, and tore it new asshole for inspection.

@Crawlin. Wondering if you received the reship? And I assume that one did go to NY?

I have yet to read of a successful order being received thru CHI, for at least a year. Someone tell me I’m wrong! I would love to be…☹️

Yes I had received a few thru chi last year but they have one now 😥 parcel app is saying it was presented for assessment 😒. Then I got a message to call some 3rd party logistics so they could deliver my package?

Not sure I’d do that. I guess you could call and if it looks suspicious, say you weren’t even expecting anything? Depending on how badly I needed it, I’d be tempted to let it go, myself. It sounds a bit “hinky.” Someone here will know more than me for sure…

Was it shipped with a private carrier and not USPS?

No it was sent by usps. I’m giving it a few but I don’t believe I’ll be calling. Thanks 😊

My last order from out of country ended up in Chi. It was there nearly a month! I had about given up on it and messaged the vendor but the vendor let me know it had already moved and was in my area. NONE of the online tracking sites had updated to reflect this so it was weird. Along similar lines though I ordered a surprise gift on Ebay for my husband (a sports jersey). It got to Chicago...and there it stayed...and stayed...and stayed. I gave up and filed a dispute with Ebay and won. I kid you not, two months later, there was his package at the door. The vendor then meekly emailed to ask me for payment since it was delivered. I agreed (I keep my word if I get what I ordered) and paid up. They are so strange in Chi about just about anything it seems.

Hello everyone my first post, my exp with Chi Customs Is bad this summer they snagged 2 magazines fully loaded 30G hit! I've been nervous AH to skip rocks across the pond since but i think someone or i know someone got jealous buy idk my first 3xp with Chicag0 scared me?

Shit a 30G hit is going to scare anyone I think. Can't blame you there. I've been doing this sort of iop stuff for years now and only ever bad one thing taken up and it was the least potentially dangerous of anything I order.... dick pills. They took my Cialis and Viagra. All things considered, I wasn't too terribly upset because all my stuff always makes it over. But 30G, yeah that would sting in one chunk.

Well after hanging out and enjoying the sites in chi my pack finally left! Still took forever to arrive, but I am not complaining and relieved. It was roaming around at least 3 weeks.

That was pure torture. But maybe it will give some of you hope!

Update on my call and my pack. The call was not anything to do with my pack ! And on looking closer at my tracking it says it was received in chi and miAmi but was presented to the latter for assessment and still hasn’t moved 😩

Both of those POE’s are the worst. You’re going to have to find a vendor with excellent stealth or find an address that won’t go there. ☹️

@jaders not sure LAx is any better.....I think they all suck now. Not saying stuff doesn't get through, but not like the old days!

So Dee... I haven't logged on for awhile, but your post LEAPED out at and as such req. a "sanity check". We talking "30G" as in $30.000 aka "30 large"? And yeah, chitown sucks and has for a good while now. A few years back people used to think this stop was great, but even then it rarelt was for me. Still isn't, but wthe the 30G surely I'm missing something here? Past I'm not that bright anyway. I know someone who ran up a huge Seizure at jfk, but it was firearm parts for hiss business restoring C&R firearms , completely legal, supplied from Finland which he got back over a year later.

I think she meant 30 grams and that is a measure of the weight of the whole order, not the amount of meds themselves. Another person wrote that hers was snagged and they included a gram measurement as well. It confused her until she realized it referred to the weight of the meds in the boxes, etc. NOT the amount of medicine...

 

[Dee420Bard978]

@gitmein yes literally net worth 30 thousand and I'm not bragging I'm just stating the facts i don't know why they didn't do a controlled bust on well over a half pound of pills

 

[Dee420Bard978]

@gitmein last spring and summer was completely pure hell I got PTSD after that package all the money lose withdrawals seizures EMTs not arriving thank God that's all come to a good and final end

That is EXACTLY what tracking said on my recent seizure. It was so confusing..was it in MIA or CHI? It was in the former and is no more. I don’t want to be a bummer or worry you, but I did want you to know my experience. Good luck, may you fare better!

I can laugh at this @jaders because we both know who you’re talking about and she wouldn’t mind. 🙂
