sir due to covid all domestic and international mail / courier services are running slow. we are into export business and suffer delays for export and import parcels.

beside the delay for arriving parcels the only pit stop is Pakistan Customs. They always screen the package documentation and if there is any doubt the whole package is put through ex-ray. Opened up for examination. If the documentation as in value and the appearance of items does not match declared value they slap a duty. Courier company will bring the "detained at international mail office" notice to you. Thereafter it is your choice how to process the clearance.

Thanks for the information.
My package was shipped on 18th November. Since 20th it is showing the same status "Arrived at SAN FRANCISCO CA INTERNATIONAL DISTRIBUTION CENTER".
And since it is shipping through the United Sates Postal Service(USPS), it is going to be delivered by the Pakistan Post:
It is to be held in my city GPO by the custom officers and not in the International mail office Karachi right?

sir there are only 2 international mail offices Islamabad for NORTH (ict , punjab & kpk) and Karachi for SOUTH.(sindh & balochistan)

which ever office covers the destination location will receive the package. Like i mentioned all mail / courier services are running deadly slow so package may arrive your mail office by end of the week. Preceeding week you may receive an intimation, or you can follow up personally.

Hi brother, my parcel Departed Doha, Qatar and its 3rd day and has no tracking update, I contacted Pak Post and they said we have not received it yet. Is it normal? taking so long in reaching Pakistan? or there maybe something wrong?
