Preach it. Actually, I'd go ahead and initiate the case now to get the ball rolling. You can always close it if it does show up.

Every order I've ever put in with Evike has hit customs. And every order has always had the extra customs charges.
It lands and instantly gets shipped to the customs department.
Depending on what is in the package things get ropey.
The closer the parts look to gun parts the longer they take. Basic parts - sights pistol grips ect seem to get signed off, Priced and continue to ship in a few days. Anything gun shaped, Mechanical looking, magazines ect they open it all up, Inspect it, repackage (badly) then make a decision, It'll either be destroyed, sent back, or priced up and sent on. They seem to pick on USA shipments more than China ones. Perhaps it's because they can read the shipping information. Either way it adds significant time at our end to the shipping and there is bugger all you can do about it other than wait...
The best bit will be the card. They won't try and deliver the package, you'll get a summons to the local distribution centre to pay there ransom fees for release.

It’s just a top rail. A foot long piece of 20mm rail. When everything usually gets caught in customs it says so on RM/PF websites. Usually that it’s being held, then customs has been raised. My issue is I have no idea if it’s even in the country. Royal Mail have no clue where it is.
It can sit in customs for a week for all I care, I just want to know it’s not lost, otherwise I’ll have to order another

The yanks don’t put dodgy reduced prices and misleading descriptions on there packages like HK sellers do , AND there’s more chance if the parcel is is coming from the septic tanks then there’s a much higher possibility it’ll warrant a good taxable charge on it .

There's always Ant supplies if you are after rail parts and you can't find them cheap on ebay.
https://www.ant-supplies.uk/
They tend to have a good selection of well priced parts.
I think the 10 inch, 25 slot rail is about £9. Or 2 for £15.

I was just having a nosey on the USPS tracking to see how long it's taken to get from Evike to the UK (cos I'm waiting for a package) and noticed it says it got delivered to you yesterday at 1550? I'm guessing they lied? ?
Hope it turns up dude.
Edit: Can't download the thing in your last post, so if that's saying you got it at last - wooooohooooo!

@sonofsammo I take it my video didn’t work lol.
The tracker said it arrived at my local depot at 5:45 am, I’d missed the delivery and it was ready to pick up at 7:05am. My postman only came around at 10:30am, so quite clearly they didn’t attempt a delivery.
Went ape shit on the phone at them, because they told me I needed to come in person to collect and bring the ‘sorry we missed you’ card that I never received because it had never left the depot. I was in work at this point so I told them my wife would be picking it up and she didn’t have the card. They initially said no to that, but after more shouting gave in.
So happy ending.. I have the package. What a ball ache

I've ordered some bits from KWA's store over there (as I couldn't find anywhere here with them) and you can add me to the list of limbo related items. USPS tracking has said
"In Transit to Next Facility Your package is moving within the USPS network and is on track to be delivered to its final destination. It is currently in transit to the next facility. " for the past week, everyday it just updates with that. Great.

Same here. I get a daily notification, which gets me all excited - until I realise it's exactly the same as the day before's. And the day before that. and the day before that......
