Today i have had 3 parcels, all from the US, NONE stopped by customs :)
(2 were presents from my family--clothes for Aliza. Mom split them so if one did get caught, the customs hit wouldn't be too bad. The other was a wrap I traded for. Last time I did that, I got smacked with VAT anyway--presumably because it had originally been exported from the EU.)
While we're at it, look at the USPS' record: Parcel sent from LA 19 Sept, arrived today. Parcels sent from Long Island 26 & 27 Sept, arrived together today. It took a week extra to cross the country?!)
