We never contacted USPS or anyone else asking to intercept and redirect packages. This status appeared recently only, so we are not sure what this means. I promise, it is caused not by our side. For now we consider such packages as seized. Fortunately this status comes up not so often.
We reship package, if someone gets this status.
Also about addresses. It is always better to use another delivery address and name and we always offer this option. However, if customer does not have any other delivery address, we can use the same and yes, many packages arrive after the second trial fine. We always offer our most discreet form of shipping in case of a seizure. I would like not to disclose much details about it here. Every customer with a seizure always gets this info from us personally.
Also, yes, holidays showed increased seizure rate even in NY. We are not hiding the facts. Customs check packages definitely more thoroughly. We have experienced such inspections and increased seizure rate earlier several times. Should be a temporarily measure only. Hopefully.
