Took about a week for me to get my stuff through. I was pretty impressed with the shipping actually. I ordered mags and a few other bits and bobs.

Maverick0 · July 24th, 2008, 00:30

They don't check every package, but they ones they do flag to get inspected get put in a queue... if they're backed up, it can take a while before your package is inspected / cleared. It's only been a week, but if your stuff is seized, which it doesn't appear it should, you'll be getting a letter notifying you. It's been a week, so I'd say give it another before really panicking.

I've had a package in customs pending review for 3 weeks and it came through fine. Yeah it sucks but you have nothing that should be confiscated.

LeGROS · July 24th, 2008, 10:51

Normally with redwolf and border inspection it about 10 business days!

Polar Nova · July 24th, 2008, 11:10

That doesn't seem like the items you bought are illegal to import to Canada. I know the basics, but not everything. Don't bank on what I have to say.

There are no fixed times for customs. Sometimes, your package doesn't get inspected at all, although stuff coming from known airsoft suppliers is more likely to get looked at. Sometimes, it can be in and out of Customs within a couple of hours, and other times, I can stay in there for weeks on end. There is no fixed amount of time.
