thats normal transit
i had a parcel marked returned that arrived eleven days later. it happens
quick one 13 days to New Zealand with working tracking the whole way is at the good end of what i have seen

ports do that

a liquid cold pack tells you it was above freezing, not that the vial cooked. lyophilised powder is robust
a seizure letter is usually the end of it. you have lost the parcel and that is almost always the whole consequence

postal not courier
what does the room consider a normal transit time now
a port stall is not the same as a customs hold and the tracking language usually distinguishes them
thats slower than usual
give it another week
the same address every time is fine. a different address every time looks worse, not better
thats a stock split
