We've discussed here before and it's obviously worth repeating: packages, of any size or any value, from the Netherlands to the United States can an d often are delayed by United States Customs. Not by anyone else. This h as happened to many people on this list. It's happened to me twice, one wit h Renaissance Cycles and once with the eBay seller of my '75 Raleigh Team Pro. There is absolutely no way to get around such delays. They just happen.

The easiest way to avoid dealing with this is simply not to do business with anyone in the Netherlands. Now, you'd be a silly twit if you did th at in my opinion as folks like Renaissance Cycles and many Dutch eBay sellers

are just super people with fab "stuff". If you don't want fab stuff and deal with nice people and must have everything in 72 hours, you're all set . Patience is indeed a virtue. Especially when you consider the stuff you are waiting for is already 35 years old. A few more months ain't goin' hurt.
