No reply - EVER!

*** was stopped by customs 21 June. The documents requested were submitted the same day. Follow up emails were sent to Carmelita and on the 28th she finally advised that the specific customs officer did not do the inspection etc. as she stopped the parcel and then went on leave but they also want to see a Paypal Statement. I sent this to her immediately and asked for it to please get priority on Monday 1 July. I sent about 6 emails on Monday with no response. On Tuesday she finally rep**** saying she is waiting for a memo from them and I will get feedback today. Again 6 emails were sent with no response. The reason given on Monday is that the origin of the goods were not as declared which is impossible as everything is made, sourced and sent from China and we will prove this if need be but tomorrow is Thursday and I need my goods by this weekend. I reply and provide documents within minutes but get ignored for an entire day. We have been importing for 5 years with DHL and stopped using you for exactly this reason 6 months ago, this just reminds me again why we switched couriers
