Robot Kingdom - How long before I worry?

[Thanatos]

I bought a rather large bulk lot (7 figures) from Robot Kingdom about a week and a half ago. Now I know it's international delivery, so it might take a while, but I've heard that Sydneysiders and Melbournites get their Robot Kingdom packages in less than a week. Here's the tracking so far.

So just out of curiousity, since it's been in customs since Thursday... is there any chance of me actually seeing these figures? I mean there isn't even an MP-05 in there.

This is the first time ordering from an online site besides ebay for me, and it's quite new to have tracking.

out of curiosity..what's in the order such that customs might be interested in?

Universe Classics Deluxe Wave 1 and Animated Wave 3, so that's Sunstreaker, Prowl, Tankor, Jazz, Snarl, Soundwave and Oil Slick.

maybe the large ish size of the order attracted some attention ie there "may" be a banned item in there or its just harder to check? try to contact customs if possible. i know when i ordered from Rk the order came in really quick spending 1 day in customs. It will come through eventually just have to be patient i guess!

there doesn't look to be anything wrong with it unless they gave u a bonus megatron. I mean, I've ordered massive lots from RK (just about to do another one) without a hassle.

It can sometimes sit at customs for a couple of business days. Or it is already on its way to the next step in the posting chain, but just hasn't been processed there yet. That's pretty ordinary timing though, and usually my tracking list has it arriving at my post office with a couple of days of reaching customs.

That's strange...

About a year ago, I bought an Alt Ravage & Rumble off Ebay from the US. When I finally received them (4 days after it arrived in Sydney), Customs had left a note that they had inspected the contents.

The reason why = The seller had used a box that had previously been packaged with food... (strange, Huh? )

Maybe the same thing has happened to your package? (Customs think RK are trying to smuggle food into the country )

Man RK is the fastest place i have ever dealt with, they are as fast as local.....

Thanatos..i'm sure it will come soon *good luck* and keep us updated

Once at work I had to order a part fpr a WRX that had to come from japan and it was packed into a freighter that was carrying contraband so I had to wait 4 months for the part. I rang customs a couple of times and they knew all about it but wouldn't release it... Try explaining that to a customer. Needless to say I copped a heap of abuse... But thats just my story.

Hope yours has a happier ending Thanatos
