Those assumtions and estimates are not 100% accurate. No disrespect inetended at all brother, just sharing information as well because there is no factual basis for assuming customs has some random 5 day limit.
Likewise, I have seen many pack pass in less than a day (sometimes just hours or never even get an inbound to customs scan at all and skip right to the regional distribution hub).
Just like with total time, it all varies greatly and there is no limit, expectation, or pattern.
For example, here is the tracking for one of my own packs from earlier this year that sat in customs for a month and still was successfully delivered to me (it also shows how much the postal service varies as this took 57 days total while the other half of the order arrived in about 30 days – that is why I now say 4 to 6 weeks estimate for W2 with +/- a week still not rare):
Both my own packs in Septemeber have passed customs:
I just successfully receieved half (it was a two-pack order) of another recent order from W2 in record fast time while the others half is still in transit (at least a week different time-frame even though they were both shipped out at the exact same moment).
This once again shows how much things may vary with the postal service -- beyond any source's control.
I think the first half that recently arrived is made it the fastest I have ever recieved an intl pack.
Hopefully the second half lands soon.
As soon as I have it all in hand, I have another order planned so I should soon have some good recent, post CV-19 shutdowns, first-hand experience regarding time-frames etc.
***Also, note, most packs are not being seized -- count up on all English speaking boards how many seized posts you see from 2020; maybe 5? maybe even 10?
now consider maybe another 5 to 10 never post... so what is that, like 20 seized? shit, lets even double it again so no one says I under-estimate... 40?
Ok, now consider there are 100s of orders a week; 1000s of orders a month; what percentage of even just one month's 1000 orders would ALL of those 2020 seizures be? less than 5%.
And that is all year's seziure compared to only one months volume of orders -- if we compared to the entire year's orders, it would be less than 1% realistically.
~5% seizure (and I over-estimated by FAR) is very low and competely normal, nothing special -- it is just part of the game/risk of trying to import illegal compounds.
Most packs pass customs or intl sources would not even be able to stay in busniess (sources loss money on reships etc zero profit at that point).
Seizure is a realistic risk anytime and thier is a Domestic Warehouse for those whom would like to avoid that risk (my referral link in code box below):
Code:

I will add I also recieved other intl packs from a different source here with whom I do business when I need items Basicstero does not have, and those packs all passed and arrived within similar timeframes.
The vast majority of all customers get thier packs from all warehouses.
