My MacBook is stuck in Indianapolis under "Regulatory agency clearance delay" and has been since 5:43AM (1:30AM if you count all the way back to it's arrival).

I know that others have made it through customs and out of Indianapolis in a couple of hours. Is anyone else in the same boat? does anyone know how long a clearance delay can last?

Thanks,
Aaron
 
You should not have added the optional "Ounce" to the shipment. I know it was a cheap add-on but the chance of it not getting past those dogs and them ripping it appart just to find it would make me cry.

J/K, never really heard of that happening before.
 
That is rather unusual. Mine got released early this morning and is still scheduled to be delivered tomorrow, but I am not sure.

Oh and to give you an idea, mine was in Indiana for over 30 hours before it finally left just a couple minutes ago (4:21 pm CST, 2/21).
 
Mine is almost exactly the same, our macbooks were obviously on the same airplanes.

No, Seattle. Can't speak for the OP though.
 
Nope, not Canada.

I'm in New Mexico and I don't care as long as they get it to me before the weekend. I was just a little worried, I've heard horror stories about all the shipping companies, although I haven't had problems with any of them (But I don't do much international shipping).

If Mine was help up like that id be calling fedex and asking if I could just drive down and pick it up. Would be worth it.
 
MANHUNT!!! :D

(I figure I'll call them tomorrow and start buggin' 'em if it doesn't get moving)

And pretty pointless. If it is held up in customs, then they can't release it to you for any reason what-so-ever. And in this case, it is held up in customs.

But it would of been released by the time a person would of arrived. Genius.
