<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paddy54, post: 2374442, member: 19250&quot;]Customs can be a royal&nbsp; PIA!&nbsp; I purchased&nbsp; a pair of ear rings from a jeweler in the Cayman Island. I had purchased&nbsp; a necklace&nbsp; while on a cruise and wanted to get her the matching&nbsp; ear rings.</p><p>The jeweler remember&nbsp; me and hooked me up. He even gift wrapped the ear rings.</p><p>Well long story short the package&nbsp; got flagged open in customs&nbsp; and when I received&nbsp; it a total cluster&nbsp; inside.</p><p>Package unwrapped wrapping&nbsp; paper thrown in ear rings loose in box , etc...... and there&#039;s&nbsp; nothing&nbsp; you can do.</p><p>A lot of items entering the US comes through&nbsp; Kennedy NY.</p><p>I like to think of it as Limbo.......</p><p>However&nbsp; I have also purchased&nbsp; the wife a ring from Israel&nbsp; and had no issues traced it from start to finish. Even in customs. The only snafu was that believe&nbsp; it or not! The US post office deliver&nbsp; it @ 7:48 am on a SUNDAY&nbsp; morning . </p><p>And of course it did seem strange that Morning&nbsp; to see a mail truck bouncing down the road as I was going for a coffee&nbsp; and the Sunday paper.</p><p>And of course the ring&nbsp; was an anniversary&nbsp; gift that was a surprise&nbsp; until the mailman asked the Mrs. to sign for the ring.</p><p>Two words &quot;Good Luck&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
