courier or postal service, which has been better for Germany
i declare it as what it is at a low value. we do not discuss wording beyond that here

update on the earlier thing the parcel is the risk you accepted. that is worth remembering before it becomes a crisis
tracking going dark for a week or ten days at a port is common and resolves on its own most of the time

paying for a faster service does not speed up customs. it speeds up the legs either side of customs
winter shipping into a cold country risks freezing, which is a different problem from heat and gets discussed less

nobody here can tell you what will clear customs where you live and the mods stop that conversation quickly

[edited]

what happened when you queried a missing parcel with the supplier

i have lost 4 parcels in three years across a lot of orders. that is the actual rate for me

postal has been better than courier for me every single time. couriers are more thorough

the transit table is pinned and built from what members actually reported, not from what suppliers quote

mine took 9 days

coming back after 11 months, has anything changed with Spain

update from 5 months ago: Poland transit has got slower, consistently, across four orders

d0   label created
d2   accepted, origin
d4   departed origin
d6   in transit
d6-16  nothing at all
d17  arrived destination country
d19  customs cleared
d21  delivered

a liquid cold pack tells you it was above freezing, not that the vial cooked. lyophilised powder is robust

BB

the same address every time is fine. a different address every time looks worse, not better

CC

a port stall is not the same as a customs hold and the tracking language usually distinguishes them

thats normal transit

anyone had a split shipment arrive weeks apart

CC

i had a parcel marked returned that arrived eleven days later. it happens

13 days to Australia with working tracking the whole way is at the good end of what i have seen, someone check my working

GG

a seizure letter is usually the end of it. you have lost the parcel and that is almost always the whole consequence

parcel is sitting at a port with no movement, is that customs or just a port
signature requirements slow things down and do not obviously reduce loss
