I'm waiting again for a delivery from Poland. Usually it takes 3-4 days however it was sent on Wednesday and the tracking hasn't updated. Any ideas what the problem could be ? It normally says arrived in the uk but last information was the posted from location. Could it have arrived and been stopped by customs ?

Depending on the service used and the agreements between Poczta Polska and Royal Mail, some items are scanned throughout their journey and some only on delivery - yours might be a delivery only service a lot are.

So it was a little over a week? That's not too bad when you look at some of the other complaints on here.
