Well after 50+ orders I've never seen this before. Held by customs on the way out of China. Is it safe to say it's been seized?

I've got the exact same msg from China EMS. "Held By Customs" for 3-4 days already

Yup and not just EMS. FedEx, UPS, USPS everything. 2 day priority via USPS now takes about 4 days.

Looks likes there's no need to worry with "held by customs." Although it still shows that status on the EMS site, the Canada Post site shows it arrived in Canada today. Whew!

Mine said the same for 3 days but it had actually left Guangzhou, package took 6 days from Puretime to UK. Maybe they are not updating system correctly. I would not worry.
