Hi cutstack:
Yes I have before, and yes I am now currently waiting beyond (3) weeks for a delivery. My exception with your situation being that I have not used actual express mail type shipping for any of these deliveries. I avoid express mail as my sense is that screening this type of mail is a priority for customs.
That said, if you have only been hung up in customs for a week, then I would not panic (yet). Sometimes these international tracking services cut-off upon entry into either foreign or US Customs and they are worthless in terms of reporting a pending delivery going forward. Finally, sometimes your package loses it's "Express" status once it enters the US Mail system depending on the country of origin.
Keep us posted on your receipt. I wish you the best of luck.
