Is there a serious delay at US customs?

I sold a set to a US buyer while ordering some huge sets from S@H. It had been 7 days since I got S@H’s email that it was shipped, and I still have not seen my stuff. While my US buyer are running out of patience waiting two weeks and counting for the set I sold him, and is now threatening negative feedback (that’s an ebay deal).

Both transactions cross the US border so it lead me to think there is a bad holdup there. Can anyone confirm this? Anyone experiencing similar delays here?

If there is really a delay there and it is not going to resolve soon, this option will sound more attractive every day.

(...) Well, you haven't told us what country you are located in. That might tell us something right there. I assume it's Canada, given your pointer and the S@H bit. Be aware that 7 days is not out of the ordinary, and that if you are shipping via (...) (20 years ago, 28-May-04, to lugnet.market.shipping, FTX)
