Man, there's a lot here to read.... like a LOT. So bottom line, there is still issues with Chicago or pretty much anywhere? What I find most interesting is that I order stuff, namely electronics parts from China all the time. Some from manufacturers direct, others through Ebay. I've also bought a boatload of other stuff originating from China, Poland, Hungary even Russia and I can't remember a single package (and we are talking one a week up to four or five) that has ever come through Chicago. The interesting part..... I live in Chicago! In fact, until I read this thread I didn't even realise there was an ICS center here. All my packages have hit the states through either ICS LA, about 95% of them, or the ICS NY location. Why is that? The address of the ICS center in Chicago is downtown and I can see downtown from my living room window...lol
It's gotta be some kind of zip code stupidity. I've ordered stuff from Amazon that passes through Chicago to an Amazon facility to only be sent from there back to Chicago.
