Default Skinner sights question

I ordered a set of skinner sights for my Henry single, Andy at skinner was helpfull and said should be zero problems shipping up here, awesome right, but they have been stuck at boarder now under review since the 9th.
Any one have a problem getting those sights? Was a fair bit of money for me, I'd hate to think I won't get them.

I ordered an aperture from Skinner last fall and it arrived about ten days later. No problems at all.(USPS)

I have ordered a few sets from him and some iron/peep sights from other U.S. makers. They all came across no problem. The Customs you are stuck in is the Canadian one and they have for many years had periods where they are REALLY slow. With all this virus stuff they probably are running short staffed. Worst that happens with legal products that are rejected at the border is it gets sent back to the sender but your sights won't be one of those.

I got my skinner sights for my marlin 336 in about 14 days . Just recently I ordered an extended safety from brownells and I got held up at customs and took 7 weeks to get to my house.

The last few items I have had shipped up from the USA stayed at the border for a minimum of a week. Not sure if they are holding them so the Covid virus dies or if they are just behind or perhaps both.
