Parcel to US stuck at Langley

[15stanleysoho]

Anyone had this problem? I sent my parcel off to America tracking number LB300776897GB and it has been stuck at Langley for days. When will it be sent off? Or, if there's a problem, when will it be sent back to me?

What's the contents?

Your item is likely to be stuck in US Customs who have been experiencing delays. Only when they release it will USPS see it. Did you fill in a customs declaration?

[15stanleysoho]

Yes I did fill in a customs form, as I was shown by the guy at the post office. Hopefully soon!

What's the contents?

A jumper and some spices! How long do you think these delays will be?

I think you're going to have a problem with the spices:
