Hi Katie Bowers,

I understand your concern about your parcel with tracking number LZ372725121CN. Looking at your tracking history, I can see why you're worried - it has been at the "Overseas Transit Bureau" since February 23 without an update.

Based on your tracking information and the search results, here's what's likely happening:

What "Overseas Transit Bureau" Means
"Arrive at the Overseas Transit Bureau" does not mean your parcel is being returned . It simply indicates your package has arrived at an international transfer hub in the destination country (the UK) and is waiting for the next processing step . This is a normal part of international shipping.

Why the Delay Might Be Happening
A one-week delay at this stage could be due to several common factors:

Possible Cause Explanation
Customs inspection Packages may be randomly selected for inspection, which can take several days
Transit hub backlog High volume of packages, especially during certain periods, can cause processing delays
System update delays Sometimes physical movement happens but tracking updates lag behind
Missing documentation Customs may be waiting for additional information about the package contents
What You Can Do
Wait a few more days - International shipments can sometimes have "silent periods" of 3-7 days during transit or customs clearance . The fact that it arrived in the UK on February 21 and reached the transit bureau on February 23 shows it is moving through the system.


If no update in another 3-5 days, contact the sender to open an inquiry with the shipping carrier.

The most likely scenario is that your package is either in a customs queue or waiting for processing at the UK transit hub. This is frustrating but not unusual for international postal shipments, which can have less frequent tracking updates than commercial carriers like DHL or FedEx .

I hope your package moves through the system soon!

Held by customs (Import) CNSZHA (1 reply)

I am from Malaysia and i am sending a return parcel to a Tabao Seller in Yi Xing.
The return parcel is declared as returning goods due to defect. However in transit it appears the parcel is being held up twice by the custom and it was last held at CNSZHA since 29/06. Is there anything can be done to know what is causing the clearance delay or get the parcel moving ? I have asked seller about it and they said they received no update on this. CP317027575MY

Thank you for advising parcel referenced RN014958579GB is currently held by customs. As suggested, I contacted the seller but they refuse to acknowledge or assist. They simply state that they are not responsible if the parcel is lost or held by Customs and I will only be offered a refund if they receive it. Please advise what I can do to resolve this.
