Please be advised that your shipment has not been stopped / detained by Customs as there has been no submission to Customs. I have included the Supervisor responsible for this shipment to assist you with the clearance. Ntebo, can you please assist. Kind Regards, Anesh Dayabhai Customs Compliance Supervisor Fri, Sep 21, 2018, 3:35 PM so is my stuff still with DHL? I don’t want it sent to the Government Warehouse. It will disappear along with all the other missing post. Wed, Sep 19, 2018, 11:22 AM I am overseas in New York at the moment until next week. Please don’t send this to the government warehouse. I’ll pay whatever fees need to be paid. Crazy that the post office takes 6 months to deliver when it should take 2 days and yet they confiscate my Dahl parcels!! V unhappy.
