Well as the title says.

I ordered an item over a week ago and am still waiting for it to be delivered... does anyone know how long these things take? It was sent as a standard parcel.

And before anyone says anything there is no reason for Customs to impound it :D

Speaking from experience: It can be a bit hit and miss, but 10 days is not unheard of, even for standard letters. Don't ask me why.

I thought about 10 days was correct.. it takes along tie to cross the north sea I guess!

The delivery man in Holland is likely on cloud 9,999,999 on his way to docks and more drunk the the ships captain.

I ordered something from Holland a few months ago and it took 4 days with DHL.

And before anyone says anything there is no reason for Customs to impound it :DEspecially as both Holland and the UK are in the EU and as such have no barriers to trade.

Be fair - it's a long walk for the postie from Holland to Portsmouth. And, don't forget that, if he forgets his trunks, he'll have to swim the Channel in his pants ;)
