Removing info as I received package within 12 days which is the longest yet! Used to it taking 2-3 days, spoiled! :-)
Keeping thread up so people can contribute as it's useful information.

I've had my longest wait to the UK, 23 days. I also had 1 of 15 days too. I still have no idea why...
-
NL _UK letters are quick, jiffys seem to take longer. Sit tight and don't fear I have had deliveries take 21 days..
-
Man you guys are with the wrong vendor, never had a delivery take more than 3 days from NL to UK.
-
LOL @StExo
from one points of view it would be understandable and probably acceptable if that package doesn't even make it past the UK border, bear in mind that when it comes to a scale of high risk countries, I can bet my ass that NL is very high at the top, friend to friend ive had a small delivery of hash not make it my way last from NL. But it depends on day to day and you are playing with chance a little.
Well I kind of disagree actually, any country in the European Union sending to within the European Union have pretty lax checks and do not go through the same customs unit as mail arriving from outside the EU do. The Netherlands, despite it's reputation, is not a high priority on the customs list - whereas Colombia, Peru, India and the like are certainly top of the list. Trust me, Colombia is an absolute bitch to get large packages from.

Thanks for the replies dudes!
Turns out it arrived today! Longest wait I've had yet! Packaging was amazing so dunno why I worried!
-
Glad to see you got your package ;)
-
Thanks! Let's just say it's been the highlight of my day :)
Defo not ordering over bank holiday weekend again though!

You have a PM mate

I once waited over 20 days. I wasn't in a rush so I just chilled out and it came eventually. Didn't need to send him a message or anything.
Depends how impatient you are or how much you need the stuff what you do. Eventually you'll get the option to contact the seller when it hasn't arrived and he'll give you an action plan then, whether to hold tight or reship or refund.

NL ----> UK is a tricky business. They watch those packages pretty closely. know quite a few mates that have had packages seized and love letters sent. even on very small 'envelope' letters with a simple pill or two inside.
-
NL to UK isn't risky business unless it's poor packaging or red flag packaging (handwritten,etc) I've received 3 figure sum of pills in one envelope before and probably 4 figure sum in total from NL with no problems ;)
Was just panicking this time round because it took 3 times longer than usual!

3 figures in one envelope? I've had almost 5 figures in 1 envelope from there. Didn't break a sweat :). Although I'm not doing it again, was probably a little reckless.

For real?!
The guys packaging must've been pretty legit to package a 5 figure sum, props go out to vendor and receiver of parcel ;)

Had one that took almost 20 days.
Was no more on the tracking information.
When I called, they said, nah, it never land in the UK.
Then I finaly got it :)
Sick story, such stress for nuts.
I think that, seizing ilicit good to actualy burn it, doesn't make money at all.
So why would they pay more people to check, if they don't get anything in return ^^
All is matter of business and money. It's a free high way for everything !!! If it looks like a document, it won't be checked.
If you have a fake bill on it, with a totally legit good, like amazon (the one that will use amazon printed carton package ^^ will pass through all borders for sure)
custom won't open it in most case.
Maybe I'm wrong :)

Well, when I opened it everything nearly damn fell out as it was tightly packaged so one split in the packaging could have been disastrous so I wouldn't say kudos to that vendor (Yes, you, you know who you are after my furious response for that packaging).
