Hi Hans,
We actually do have customs clearance here in the States. It¡¯s handled by each carrier like FedEx, DHL, etc, at their major import hubs. I know because I¡¯m suffering through it right now. I have a computer that was stuck in customs clearance in Cincinnati OH for 6 days before I complained. DHL referred me back to Apple whose broker seems to be sleeping on the job lately. Apple got it cleared the next day but it¡¯s still stuck in Cincinnati for the past week because DHL is overloaded with holiday packages at their hub. No delivery date has been given, they won¡¯t ship it to my local hub, and Apple is considering cancelling my order and starting over again. I can¡¯t even get an Amazon Prime shipment delivered right now.

I hate to bring this up here and I certainly don't want to bother Hans with my question but WHY should my stuff from QrpLabs be held up in the US awating clearance (customs) This is rediculous.
It's not normal, something is wrong. US has no customs clearance. Anywhere. And certainly not in North?Jackson OH. I suggest you call FedEx and inquire. From my side, I have started a FedEx inquiry with customer support at this end, and CC'ed you on the email.
