Highlights from this day
  • HPLC_Hank — i have lost 5 parcels in three years across a lot of orders. that is the actual rate for me 20:33
  • cold_pack_carla — i declare it as what it is at a low value. we do not discuss wording beyond that here 20:45
  • cold_pack_carla — reship policies vary enormously. BCH honoured one for me without being pushed, which is not universal, not advice obviously 20:55
  • cold_pack_carla — sorry to jump in signature requirements slow things down and do not obviously reduce loss 21:04
  • cold_pack_carla — for the archive summer into a hot country is the risk. order in a cooler month if you have the choice 21:05

tracking going dark for a week or ten days at a port is common and resolves on its own most of the time

cold pack arrived warm after 4 days, does it matter

ask about reship

does a signature requirement help or hurt

CP

tracking has been dark for 8 days, at what point do i worry
summer into a hot country is the risk. order in a cooler month if you have the choice

5 days to Singapore with working tracking the whole way is at the good end of what i have seen

courier or postal service, which has been better for Canada

order in winter

i declare it as what it is at a low value. we do not discuss wording beyond that here

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

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

VI

split shipments arriving weeks apart is normal and is usually a stock thing, not a customs thing

update from 23 months ago: Germany transit has got slower, consistently, across four orders, thats just me

thats the end of it

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