    I've been following the tracking on the devevery on my X61. It says that my x61 is "BEING HELD BY BROKERAGE FOR REASONS BEYOND UPS' CONTROL."

    Is this just customs? And will the delivery date of tomorow, that's listed on the site, be delayed because of this?

    Thanks.

    And does customs take a long time? Will they still be able to deliver it tomorow?

    any packages that you order that are shipped internationally will have to go through customs at one point. in most cases items like these are passed right through. In some cases they might hold onto the package for further inspection for a few days. If it takes any longer than that, you should definitely get in touch with lenovo/ups

    My T60 sat in the BROKERAGE stage for 12 hours before it was released. No idea why. But its normal.
