They deliver thru UPS. They will drop your gun at customs warehouse, and tell you we have done our job. Bye bye.. It'll take more than 2 months for your gun to get released. I hope you don't have a BP problem. lol

No idea about Fadex but if you are talking of FEDEX most of the European sellers dont use FEDEX they use DHL/DHL post/TNT/postal service or ship by Air Cargo . I got my LP10 recently from Steyr directly .They shipped it by Air Cargo costed me 270 Euro .

I think he wants to but a Steyr LP10 and Pyramyd Air does not sell Steyr brand so where is the question of being out of stock .

Hi Andy ,

I think he got your post wrong . All USPS articles once they land with the Indian postal authorities are cleared the next day if customs duties are not applicable or levied on your article . If your article is liable for customs duty then it is sent to postal customs and frankly there is no set time for this. I had postal artilces clear customs in a weeks time and then its sent to the delivery address where the customs duty is collected and the article is delivered to you .Once it took me about two months to get cleared from postal customs.

Your tracking is probably showing received article and sent to customs . Once its cleared customs it will show as sent to domestic location.

It came thru USPS? It will be in process forever if you don't follow up for yourself. Forget calling them, speak to USPS guys- ask them where is your package, get the details, and meet those customs guys in person. Otherwise, ghumte reh jaoge! No jokes!
