If this is not appropriate for this forum, I sincerely apologize.

I had found an older thread, since locked, with a similar issue and some helpful responses. I'm hoping that someone here can provide some more detail to my issue than the customer reps I've spoken to on the phone have.

I have a shipment, a high-end laptop from Dell (Alienware) that I need to run some newer 3D software that my older system can't handle. I purchased expedited service from Dell and got a delivery date of July 11th. Order was completed and landed in US on the 9th and hit the UPS hub in Ontario California around 9:30pm on the 10th. It's been through an arrival scan, import scan and has now sat in the warehouse for two days. Late last night the scheduled delivery changed from end of day July 11th to "unavailable" and I've been told there is a Customs clearance issue. I've already taken a day off of work and burned 8 hours of annual leave to wait. I accept this as I can't do a signature authorization release for this package.

Does anybody have any insight on what this Customs issue may be and if I need to contact Dell to have them help resolve the hold?

US customs service 2222 east airport rd Ontario CA phone number 909-937-8653. Call or stop by there to demand they release your package. It's out of UPS hands. Or you could call Trump and thank him for the trade war with China because that could be why it's delayed also....
You're welcome

What'd the reps tell you?

Illegible label?

Not much of anything. They basically read the same tracking information I had back to me and conjectured it was a Customs issue. No details. I was told that the label issue had been resolved.

I'm actually replying to you, on your laptop.

It's pretty sweet, you seriously decked this thing out.

deal with it.

Nice, be sure to use a cooling pad with it - they overheat in a dramatic fashion. I'd turn off location services too - don't want them to track you to your basement lair. I'd also refrain from trying to register it. ;)

Looks like Ontario warehouse employees realized there was weed in the box and stopped to smoke it and watch some cartoons/eat some Doritos.
