may be because of new customs rules. I was having another shipment from US and this time I stopped using DHL and used their competitor instead. Without any hassles on the 4th day I received my shipment. So, is the new Customs rules applicable only for DHL - Delivery Horrendously Late?

And I'm not bringing down any explosives, chemicals or hazardous goods. It's just some hobby stuff which will not value more than 400 US Dollars.
