What is a "Clearance Delay" with FedEx

I ordered my macbook from apple.com and it shipped sept 7. It is scheduled to be here tomorrow but the current status has been: "Clearance Delay" In USA since saturday...

Is this normal, will it still come on time, and what does it mean?

Thanks

It jsut means it is awaiting customs clearance. Just sit tight as no one at FedEx or elsewhere will be able to give you any way to speed things up.

If this is a message you're getting on the FedEx site for a status, I would suggest you contact them. No one here is going to be able to tell you if it is going to be delivered on time... unless the FedEx guy happens that is delivering it happens to be reading this.

Since I have a little free time...

How can I determine the reason(s) for a clearance delay or delivery attempt?
Select the Clearance Delay or Delivery Attempt link in the Status field, or the Shipment Detail screen. The Clearance Delay or Delivery Attempt screen will list the reason(s) for the delay and recommend actions to help expedite delivery.
