I ordered a Seaskin drysuit recently (which really was over two months ago, guess they were backlogged). It finally shipped from the UK two weeks ago, lucky me! It made it's way Stateside, but has not left Memphis, TN (been there 5 days now). My understanding is Memphis is the where Fedex sends overseas packages to clear customs.
Mostly I'm eagerly awaiting the drysuit, but part of me wonders if it's normal for overseas scuba gear to take that long to clear customs. What experiences have you guys had with customs? When is an appropriate time to start working the phones to Fedex/shipper? Might still be early given it's only been 5 days in customs, but I'm not sure if there is missing paperwork or not. The Fedex website just says "delivery date pending".
