I received today a PWE from Arizona, so far so good. Keeping my fingers crossed . I've made several trades already this year but it's still a little too early to tell if there is any holdup in deliveries.

This wasn’t a baseball card but my mother’s birthday gift from Hong Kong arrived without issue today. 

Strange how I wrote that PWE are crossing fine. But everyone is writing there PWE are getting there. Like they are affected?? When they are not.

Here is the Customs Declaration #LA264428248US for what I sent. It has not moved in weeks. :(

I would prefer to find out if anyone else is having this problem rather than not.

AJ Smith, I don’t think customs was affected by the shutdown. This is what I found online:

“In the event of a shutdown of the U. S. government, it is our understanding that while certain personnel may be furloughed, the functions of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) would not be affected.”

Good luck with your package. 

CradLevi I was told by the postal employee they are and when I got home and looked on the gov website It read.

Federal agencies affected by the shutdown include the Border protection, Customs, Border Protection agents, TSA.... It's a very long list. I did not even know air traffic controllers were government works. I thought they worked for the airports they were at. But they are on the list. I can't image working for free. No matter what, we all have bills to pay and food does not magically appear on the table.

You wrote "In the event of a shutdown" What website was that? Speculation.whatif  Because it's happening, and it's now the longest one on record. 

I’ve worked for free before because the owner wrote bad checks till he went bankrupt. The government workers will get all their back pay once people quit playing around. 

I just googled and looked at the first one. It was Washington Post. Yes, they are effected about pay being delayed but they are still on the job. 

Had to edit I found the source.
