I really want to expand on this stupid idea but my AES and three more carts are still being held hostage in customs. It's so annoying!
God, I know your pain. I've bought from Japan many times over the years, but the first time anything ever got held in customs for a couple of weeks if not a little longer... it was my AES.
I imagine I've bought enough that I've had packages get stuck there for a couple of days or so, but I've generally had good luck with whatever it is coming pretty quickly.
Except that one time. The goddamned AES, of all things, is the one they felt the need to let sit around for fucking ever.
