It’s been going on for months worldwide. Here’s a thread I started last year.
Wondering where your stuff from overseas is? Shipaggedon!
That's not how it works ha ha
We are having issues finding space for airfreight due to the reduction in passenger aircraft that normally carry of a lot of airfreight to my region, and frequently have had goods, which require cold chain management, stuck in various hubs for days (Frankfurt and Istanbul) because of limited ongoing flights.
Call FedEx, keep calling…much more effective than posting here.
I don't expect a reduced rate, but it WOULD be nice to get an accurate eta. If they know everything is backed up then why does my tracking still say tomorrow? No it won't, lol. I'd be much more happy if the damn thing said "we're not sure, but maybe by next Friday?" At least that would be honest and accurate
OP
Thought I'd give an update, in case anyone else comes across this thread later.
I called Fedex twice in the interim to check-in -- there was nothing they could do. They confirmed all documents looked in order, and customs has been running a backlog of 5-10 days in general.
[ Now if someone knows how to reach customs, perhaps just maybe that could make a difference. Alas in my case, I just had to wait for the process to complete. ]
After ~8 days of sitting in customs at Memphis, it finally got cleared for delivery. It's on its way now. (Yay!)
Thanks everyone for your input!

Good to hear. You NEVER call Customs for them to speed up stuff. They will stick your stuff to the bottom of stack.
