I've never been stopped by customs coming into PHL.

If for whatever reason you are held up by customs in PHL, US [U]should[U] place you on a later flight with no fee, so long as you played by the rules in re customs. Should is the key word here. I think of PHL as a small 'big' airport. 2 hours is plenty.
