Up to week but when it arrives here u have to pay the import tax within 20 days or the will send back to states u need tracking status to keep an eye on really

Hmmm. Its odd that the system hasn't updated for over a week, but a week to ten days from arriving in the uk to you getting the dreaded customs charge letter is about normal.

My Holmes sat in customs for 5 weeks before it was processed. Not ideal as my Paypal claim window expired while it was sitting there. It was from a reliable seller though so I just waited it out and it finally arrived.
