I ordered an iPod touch 8GB last monday. They shipped it the next day from Kunshan, China and everything went very smoothly at the start. It was in Alaska on Wednesday, Newark on Thursday and then Mississauga on Thursday. It's been in Mississauga since then and now it's Monday. The estimated delivery date is today (Oct. 20) before 6pm. It's almost 5 now so I doubt it's gonna arrive today. It still says "Clearance in Progress" (in Mississauga). It's been in Clearance for 5 days. I live in Nova Scotia.

Is this normal?

I know it's customs but does it usually take this long? It's been in customs for 5 days.
