buying vinyl from abroad


I am trying to buy an album from Europe via ebay. It comes with a warning sign before checkout:

Due to US customs policies, the buyer of this item will need to pay import fees to the shipping carrier prior to delivery. 

Has anyone been through this, what is the process? Does customs sit on the merchandise for days, weeks? I know other countries tend to charge ridiculous amounts and hold the item hostage for months potentially.

The marxist manifesto is that music should be free. But you knew it. 
Das Kapital also has a section about audio gear to be free (for lazy people). I am anxiously waiting for my Communist gang to make it happen.

Another @parkergetdean adventure?

Maybe practice patience, prayer, and don’t do stupid stuff…not necessarily in this order…

@parkergetdean lol keep waiting 

@kennyc yeah this one definitely has potential to become a good story. Volume 2 of I tried to save but ended up paying more.
