Monday9 messages2 participantstimes are UTC
Highlights from this day
- declared_value — winter shipping into a cold country risks freezing, which is a different problem from heat and gets discussed less 18:15
- declared_value — reship policies vary enormously. GL Biochem honoured one for me without being pushed, which is not universal 18:18
- declared_value — vat is usually charged on declared value plus shipping, and the handling fee is often more than the vat, ill dig out the number 18:19
- vat_on_import — the transit table is pinned and built from what members actually reported, not from what suppliers quote, your mileage will differ 18:35
- vat_on_import — paying for a faster service does not speed up customs. it speeds up the legs either side of customs 18:57
