well, i emailed chemical and all they had to say was that it was beyond their control and that because there is a 28 day wait for shipments enforced by the mail service, you must wait that long until filing a report of a lost package. The thing is that as of last month, their shipping company now runs through Sweden or something, so fast shipping from chemical is no more

Yah man its been a month since I placed my order. Man I am pissed off.

I ordered a record bag for Sean from dancegrooves, and it came fast and everything.. then a month later I get a bill from customs! Nice, eh? I think I get away without paying extra and bang they drop that on you after. Same thing happened to Sean from onlydjs.. lame. Don't think you're getting away with not paying customs these days!

a few years back, i ordered a CD from german music express, a german company. when i got the CD i didnt need to pay customs or anything because on that little annoying green declaration paper it said that it was a sample CD and therefore not paid for

get whoever your buying from to write USED RECORDS on it or something, thats what I do now and it has worked so far.

I wish I could do that, but I doubt a bigger online record company would want to put illegal stickers on their shipments..

Never works for me. Even when I've bought second hand and had it shipped here, I still get charged for customs or taxes on the records. That's with a "Used records" declaration.

I've been waiting 2 weeks for Chemical now

Make some noise!

If you bought them on eBay or something, just get your seller to mark present on the customs declaration form and then you can't get charged duty.

Ok I think in general the shipping company chem uses is weird, because I just got another shipment today, that only took 4 business days.

I guess its just a game really, customs didn't open it either, which is hella rad!
