Same here. What a s h i t show.
Yeah, those damn Clearance Gremlins are to blame. Sorry they are active in your part of the world.
Mondonews- Just spoke to our CS team. Due to customs, these packages have to be physically inspected. Our team can provide a more in depth response if you want to email them at [email protected]! Unfortunately, there is nothing else we can do, so sorry about that!
Makes me wonder what are they going to physically inspect? Maybe Mondo should no longer use DHL then.

I've only ever had decent and swift experiences with DHL in the past. This is certainly odd.
DHlL seems to be the safest place to hide

Mine was not opened - DHL customs morons are renowned for DAMAGING not just the packaging, but also the contents when they do that.
Mine was completely sealed and STILL had delays.
Like I said before - they used non-DHL couriers for the final leg of the journey - hence the delay (for ME anyways).
Hope everyone gets theirs soon . . . must be taking the bloom off the rose a bit.

Mine appeared sealed, as well. But customs reserves the right to inspect packages from foreign countries I suppose.
Must be like waiting for the blood test.
12 days and yet to open the box.

More clearance events from me. I just hope its late in line to take off.

I've modded the flamethrower hose from Mondo's extra-long, rubber-tube to a more screen-accurate, shorter braided hose. Used a old braided phone charge cable. Has the benefit of being wired for pose-ability. Came out pretty well.

That looks a lot better.
It spurred me to shorten the hose on mine, so I started looking at photos to judge how long it should be. I don't think it's stated in the technical manual, though it's not a searchable PDF.
On the off chance I Googled M2A1-7 hose length, and the first result was this page with complete specifications:
https://dockeryarmory.com/m2a1-7-flamethrower/
LENGTH (HOSE) – 95.3 cm (37.5 in)
i.e., 15.88 cm or 6.25" in 1/6.

Looks amazing Adama! Do you mind me asking where you obtained the hoodie from? It looks perfect colour wise!I've modded the flamethrower hose from Mondo's extra-long, rubber-tube to a more screen-accurate, shorter braided hose. Used a old braided phone charge cable.

Same exact thing happening to me.

If mine arrives opened they better have a replacement.
Mondo needs to have their items shipped to their warehouse and then ship them out themselves using reliable couriers instead of allowing the shipments to get held up in DHL customs. Shipping from overseas was likely a cost reduce measure on their part. I'm on my 10 clearance now and mine better be SEALED when it arrives (in 2 months).
