Shipping internationally can be unpredictable. Learn how to use CSSBuy's powerful tools to track your parcel, resolve customs holds, and get real-time support to ensure your haul arrives safely.
1. Checking Your Parcel Logs & Real-Time Tracking
Your first step when expecting a delay is to investigate. CSSBuy provides detailed parcel logs for every shipment.
- Go to 'My Parcels'
- Select the parcel in question to view its detailed log.
- The log shows every scan and checkpoint: from warehouse dispatch, airline departure, arrival in the destination country, to customs clearance.
- For live updates, use the provided international tracking number
Pro Tip: A long pause at 'Arrived at destination airport' often means it's in customs processing—this is normal and requires patience.
2. How to File a Customs Inquiry Ticket
If your parcel log shows a prolonged customs hold (e.g., "Customs inspection" for 7+ days), it's time to file a formal inquiry.
- Navigate to 'Support''Ticket System'
- Create a new ticket and select the category 'Customs Issue''Parcel Inquiry'.
- Clearly state your parcel ID and the issue. Example: "Parcel #ABCD123456 has been in 'Customs Inspection' status since [date]. Please assist in inquiring with the logistics provider."
- Attach any relevant screenshots of the tracking log.
- Submit the ticket. CSSBuy's logistics team will contact the shipping agent to investigate and request an update from the destination customs authority.
