I have a few packages incoming as well. They reached Pakistan on or before 19 Sep but there is no update on status since then. I went to the local post office to check. They said they haven't received anything. They said that the items must be stuck somewhere in customs at Lahore GPO. They said the packages will arrive at the post office as soon as they are cleared by customs.

I also received my mobile cover a week back. Now the interesting thing is that the seller has its own shipping service. He is a agent of china post. So the cover was only trackable on sellers site and not on any other famous sites even china post official site. I was worried a little but i waited and at last got the cover in very good packing. It reached me in 22days

I ordered 3 items. All arrived well.

1- some little jewlry. it arrived directly at my address without any hassle.

2- Two watches. this parcel also arrived at my address and postman collected 50 rupees customs duty.

3- A electric meter (volt/watt/ampere). Pakistan Customs at GPO Lahore stopped this parcel and sent me a letter about it. I went there, IMO office in GPO Lahore, cleared all the custom process. Within next 4 days the parcel arrived at my address and postman collected 700 PKR customs duty. The original price of the item was 14 dollars. By the way, I did not know about the letter they sent to me. I went to GPO after checking the tracking status.

I ordered DIGITAL ANGLE FINDER worth 20$ it was stopped by CUSTOMS as they didn't knew what it is. Sent me letter home as notification... I went there and was shocked to see How PAKISTAN GPO is working....

Every record is hand written and they have registers/folders through which they track the location of our item in their office....

Shipments come in big sacks and are treated as CEMENT SACKS....one above another and GPO EMPLOYEES sitting on them etc

And they follow the same old 18th century procedures for branding the package seals... by dropping some sort of black substance in heated form and then brand it ( same as we see in GAME OF THRONES )

My whole process of clearing the item took me 2hrs of sheer khajal khawari and believe me... It wouldn't be much longer than 20 minutes if they had their system computerized

it's wax.

very poor service quality though....

that register/folder thing is common in most government idaray...just computerizing one single idara makes it straight to the headlines on TV and newspapers....

I buy a few electronics stuff from RWP from time to time and they use pakistan post cash on delivery service. I used to wonder why they wrap the package in almost 1/2 a kg of cardboard and cloth, this is why....to protect it from pak post animals.

the building is late 19th century...

How is the package in which aliexpress sends purchased items? Is it safe to type in bank details and all? And are the descriptions of products reliable or is there some fraud too?
I want to order a few protectors, covers and maybe a college bag pack. Any chances of getting stuck at customs?
Please shed some light people.
