I bought a custom heritage 91 from bunkidou stationery shop, rakuten global market. The consignment seems to have left japan but there's no sign of landing in india. please suggest what to do? earlier experiences with japan ems have been pretty fast. should i head to delhi foreign post office, ito? the delivery address is kalkaji,delhi

don't worry.... be patient...

 

 

it seems it hasn't been received otherwise there would have been an update regarding the same.

 

after that there is an update of the item being sent to customs (it doesn't mean that you would have to pay duty, all the parcels go to customs are registered, then a few are held back and the rest are handed back to the post office)

 

send item to domestic location(inb) this last message finally means your parcel is on your way

 

if your parcel gets held, then you would receive a notice by mail after 2 or 4 working days... no need to go to post office before that....

just be patient.

 

there is no hard and fast rule of delivery times.... IMHO

Expect anything from a couple of days to a month for clearing...

yes my pelikan 400 was cleared after a month with a duty of rs1000

stay patient and with their year ending on 31 march these customs guys have annual targets and they may endup charging duty
