Navigating Shipping Hurdles: Your CSSBuy Guide to Delays & Customs

2026-03-01

Shipping internationally comes with its complexities. While CSSBuy's logistics network is robust, occasional delays or customs inspections are a reality of cross-border e-commerce. Don't worry—CSSBuy provides transparent tools and responsive support to help you resolve any issues efficiently.

Step 1: Proactive Tracking & Checking Parcel Logs

Your first stop for information is your parcel's detailed log. This is your transparency hub.

  • Log into your CSSBuy account'My Parcels'.
  • Select the parcel in question to view its detailed tracking page.
  • Examine the 'Parcel Log'
  • Arrived at destination airport
  • Customs clearance started
  • Returned from customsCleared by customs

Always check the log before taking further action; it frequently contains the answer.

Step 2: Filing a Customs Inquiry Ticket

If the parcel log shows an extended hold (e.g., "Customs clearance started" for over 7-10 business days), it's time to engage support.

  1. From your parcel's page, locate and click the 'Contact Us''Help'
  2. Select the ticket type related to 'Customs Issue''Parcel Inquiry'.
  3. Provide key details in your message:
    • Parcel ID number.
    • Shipping line used (e.g., SAL, DHL, CSS-FJ).
    • A clear description: "My parcel has been in customs status since [date] according to the parcel log."
    • Any relevant screenshot of the log.
  4. Submit the ticket. CSSBuy's logistics team will contact the carrier or destination agent on your behalf to inquire about the holdup and required actions, if any.

Step 3: Leveraging the Responsive Logistics Support System

CSSBuy's support doesn't end with a submitted ticket.

Live Update Channels

Join the official CSSBuy Discord server. The community and sometimes staff in dedicated logistics channels can offer insights, especially for widespread delays on specific routes.

Ticket Follow-ups

You can reply to your open ticket to add questions. The support team will update it as they receive information from their logistics partners, creating a clear audit trail.

Carrier Direct Tracking

Use the tracking number provided by CSSBuy on the destination carrier's local website (e.g., USPS for the USA, Royal Mail for the UK). This often provides the most current local status post-customs clearance.
