Kashtams (crisis) with Customs!

After all the shopping for the wedding, we realized that we have 4 suitcases already full for 2 people and we have enough load for another 4 suitcases. There is no way, our minivan can take all this luggage and besides we were concerned that customs may take more time clear us. Our daughter was waiting for us and had to leave that evening, we decided to courier the items. The courier guy cand packed everything himself.
He suggested that we remove the price tags but some were not removed. Now it is 24 days, the packages are sitting for customs clearance. We are very worried whether it would be released in time or do we have to buy everything. We also heard horror stories that customs, while opening the boxes have slashed the sarees inside the boxes and they became worthless. That aspect is worrying us; even if we get the items, do we get them intact! How long should we wait and whom should we approach?
Will let you know, if we are able to get the items back or our kashtams (troubles) with customs continues!
