As with other posts, it will be stuck in Customs while they do their checks. Once it gets into Royal Mails hands delivery should be 2 - 3 days at most.

No, we don’t know. For one thing, certain bags get selected for more checking, so can take longer than other items from the same flight. Plus it generally takes longer at Christmas.

No, should be 1-2 days to attempt delivery or to leave a fee to pay card (if there are customs charges).
