    Ok if you guys remember i was on here a few weeks ago saying i ordered a package from the US buy by accident i ordered it via Regular Post. (http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=255415)

    My question was how long was the package gonna take. Anyway last week, 22 days afer i first ordered, i contacted the company i ordered from to see if they had a clue where my package was. At this stage i had already called almost every main sorting office in Dublin trying to track it dont but with no luck. Eventually i got talking to a customer came girl who informed me that my package was in..... Denmark Customs!! Turns out this company sends all its post in bulk over the Denmark who in-turn deliver it to every other country in europe. For some reason my package was in customs and nobody had any idea when it was gonna get out, "Its could be tomorrow, it could be 6 months" i was told on the phone. So i eventually decided to reorder the 4 products only this time "Via FedEx".
    So thats the same products being ordered again to the value of $150.

    So this morning im sitting in my kitchen when there's a knock on the door.
    I open the door only to see a guy dressed in a FexEx uniform holding a package. "Excellent, i only ordered this like 3 days ago" i greet him.
    Yep, It was my re-ordered package, So i sign for the it and close the door. Half was down the hall another knock on the door, i assume the FedEx guy forgot something cos REMEMBER its is less than 30 seconds after i signed for the FedEx package. I open the door only to see a guy dressed in....... A SDS Uniform and holding a identical package!!
    Just as he's agout to "Hello" i interupt with "Your taking the F**king piss!!"
    If you havnt guessed already it was my original packed that was being held in customs for over a month, the one i thought i never get and re-ordered. What are the chances!

    So just to sum this up:

    I ordered a package,
    It got stuck in Denmark customs,
    A month later i give up hope a re-order,
    Both packages arrive within 30 seconds of eachother.

    Could only happen to me!!

    What did you order?

    Re-ordered? Well that was silly. Should have cancelled the first order before doing that.

    A package will pretty much never be held up for 6 months, she was just covering her own arse or it was she who was taking the piss.

    I can understand why the package was held up tho in a way. Ya see im a big GYM rat so it was a a few supplements, tanks, gloves and shakers and stuff. It was from a company called BodyBuilding.com

    I just wanna know what you ordered, and why you have'nt mentioned it in your lengthy storey...
