To everyone who is complaining about their TGUK packs never landing

Just to be clear, I don't have a horse in this race. I'm not a big fan of LSD, so I've never needed to interact with TGUK. However, I am very familiar with shipping things internationally. I have family in the UK that I exchange gifts with during the holiday season.

Back in 2007, the holiday season was fast approaching and knowing that it could take some time I had my gift for my family in the mail before December even began. There was no reason the pack should have been stopped, it had some baby clothes and a couple of toys. A few weeks later I receive a pack in the mail from the UK with gifts for the family on this side of the pond. We all call them up and say thank you, and I ask if they had gotten their gifts yet. They said "Not yet, but we'll call you when we do!"

I never heard so much as a thank you from them for months afterward. I started to think that my nieces and nephews were evolving into ungrateful little shits. Meanwhile, the family over there were thinking that I was a cheap bastard who didn't want to buy gifts this year.

Fast forward to Thanksgiving of 2009. I finally receive the package back with a "failure to be delivered" notice. AFTER 2 YEARS.

TL;DR Customs fucking sucks and is probably run by snail-human hybrids

Well aren't most people complaining about Halloween packs? Should arrive in 1-2 to US at most, plus there's not gonna be a massive amount of mail after Halloween.

Wow, 2 years? I hope my shit doesn't delay this much.

Not as bad as this one. Took 138 years.

Doesn't matter; won't end up in the customer's hands or the vendor's bands.

I had an illicit pack at customs for 8 months, and one day it was mysteriously in my mail.. I figured it was a CD, but i left the pack unopened for a week, and when i opened it, my COMPLETELY UNHIDDEN box o tapentadol was there untouched. Sometimes the government just fucks things up.

I once had a ST order not arrive after 45 days so I asked for a reship and about a month later both packs showed up on the same day, but that was a while ago

Haha, it's gonna be hilarious when TGUK_Support comes in this thread having a literal temper tantrum and accusing illegal_junkie of being a shill like he does in every other thread that says anything that could be considered even remotely offensive to their business
