guys, back to the issue here: CUSTOMS
Will the chips be confiscated by customs? How long will it take customs to process the chips and ship them out? Which customs are they at? China or United States? What routes must the chips take, lets say the chips leave customs monday, how long best case for us to get the chips and whats a realistic worst case scenario? Who all thinks that our group buys will get the chips before sept 1st?
We don't have any of this information.
We don't know if there are any chips at any customs. No proof for it was ever provided.
Customs story is really unimportant, since only a small amount of chips is allegedly being there, and they are held for two weeks. Large majority of chips never had customs problems and are late much more than this minority (allegedly) spent in customs. So forget about the customs, they are not the problem - Yifu is.
