May sound silly but threads I've read on this and one guy kinda said it as well if your "gun" stuff comes in a anti gun place / city like say Chicago your risk is higher then say free state city maybe Dallas or Miami / passes right through .. I guess hope your stuff don't land and get processed at O'Haire airport...🤤.

Some guys box pictures look pretty tore up and bandage back with nice customs tape.. your 2ed amend working hard for you ..

The first P35 I bought from Krale arrived in a few days with no incident. I liked it so much I bought two more. After they had been stuck in customs for several days I spent about an hour on the phone to get a reasonable response from UPS about what was going on. They told me that the box was missing a shipping invoice and Krale had not responded to their request for it. I got Krale to send it to me and I sent it to UPS the way they said to and I had the guns a few days later. I don't know how long they would have been stuck if I had not inserted myself but it seemed like I needed to push the process along.

UPS overuses their automated system jn my opinion but if you are persistent you can find a person and when you do they were very helpful in my case. Krale seems to take forever to respond to emails but cheerfully answers phone calls and switches to English near instantaneously. I was surprised that when I called Krale from home on my cell phone using my internet the call cost me only a few cents. If you have the time I would get on the phone.

Part of the problem is I am not sure who PostNL will use as their delivery partner her in the US (I've read it will likely be USPS, but I've not received any kind of confirmation one way or another. All I have is the PostNL tracking number, and when I check their info, all I get is that it's in Customs. I know a lot of folks have done business with Carel before, so I'm sure the paperwork is in order. I'm just not sure who I would call at this point,.

Not to be noisy but what did you order ?

Something with a silencer on one in the box you may not get it at all .. krale best I recall will not ship that to the USA anymore .. why stuff on there eu shops ste not or no longer listed in the USA shop. Also of you try to buy from the eu shops there no longer a usa shipping option ..

Funny how here with the 2ed you can't have but countries that don't can have .. g0d bless America.. lol

Anyway me being the mail order lemon king there's no way I could risk a overseas order .. I can't even get a all in USA order without issue somehow ..lol

It's just an FWB 602 - so silencer or anything special like that. I've had pretty good luck with most orders.....I used PayPal business to pay for it, so if it never arrives for some reason, I'll get my money back. It will probably just show up one day out of the blue without any indication it left customs....

Just another indicator on how far we sunk in the world view.. it's ashame.. think they don't care to do business with us as before . Cant blame 'em

I'm looking forward to the step up :)

I tried my PostNL tracking number on the USPS site (once it was working again....) - it shows that the package was processed in the Netherlands on the 10th, but nothing about it actually being in customs....so less helpful than the PostNL site that actually listed customs. So I guess it's just going to be a waiting game. Fun.

I have bought a Gun from Carel and it ended up a customs roadblock. No information for a week and then it was at my door with no shipping updates at all.
I wish I had more patience.

I don't when it's something I'm looking forward to most.. lol.

Kinda like I said above order something and it sits at the shops door/ dock for 3 days before ups/ fedx or whoever finally decided to pick it up then another day or 2 at the local processing center then days in transit that for some reason goes 100+ miles in a direction not really towards me .. and so on .. then the day it delivers I'm the last stop of the day about 6-8 pm ..lol. 🤤
