This has never happened to me before so i'm just wondering how long will they hold onto it and will i have to pay an extra charge?

Thanks.

hey my mate had the same problem with some of his stuff. As far as i know you need toring and hassle them a bit to get something done or else it will jsut get lost in tnt customs and you will never see it happens with alot of other things not just airsoft

Its not unusual for customs to hold packages for 2-3 days, this is normally just to apply VAT/Duty, ring TNT and ask them why it's been held, more than likely it's for charges.

Was the jg below 328 fps?

If it was, usually things take a brief stop over in customs anyway, if its still in there in a couple of days it may be an issue.

Ok i'll ring tnt and see what the story is.
Thanks for the help:)

EDIT: I'm pretty sure its not over the limit motosam but its been in customs for two days according to the tracker so i'll give them a ring and find out whats happening

I've had a package from the states in customs for the last week. I rang yesterday to find out why it had been sitting there for a week (tracked), and apparently between Customs & An Post, there's a large backlog in getting stuff out the door and delivered.

TNT have had a KALASH AKS74U I ordered status "Held Customs" for over a week now. It has been downgraded. Looks like I'll have to ring them.

*Update* KD was right, they were holding my AEG because of charges. Sorted now they'll be delivering it tomorrow
