Highlights from this day
- yyz_vial — a seizure letter is usually the end of it. you have lost the parcel and that is almost always the whole consequence the parcel is the risk you accepted. that is worth… 17:17
- yyz_vial — signature requirements slow things down and do not obviously reduce loss 18:26
- cold_start_cy — coming back to this does KP actually honour a reship or is it decorative 18:50
customs charge came to €94, is that normal for Australia
tracking has been dark for 2 days, at what point do i worry
a port stall is not the same as a customs hold and the tracking language usually distinguishes them
the same address every time is fine. a different address every time looks worse, not better
has anyone had a parcel arrive after being marked as returned
is vat charged on the declared value or what they think it is worth
winter shipping into a cold country risks freezing, which is a different problem from heat and gets discussed less
update from 1 months ago: Spain transit has got slower, consistently, across four orders
a seizure letter is usually the end of it. you have lost the parcel and that is almost always the whole consequence
the parcel is the risk you accepted. that is worth remembering before it becomes a crisis
handling fee is the killer

declared value, do you go low or realistic
how many parcels have people lost in total
mine took 19 days
does a signature requirement help or hurt
i had a parcel marked returned that arrived eleven days later. it happens
no wording advice here
signature requirements slow things down and do not obviously reduce loss

thats the end of it
the parcel is the risk you accepted. that is worth remembering before it becomes a crisis
postal has been better than courier for me every single time. couriers are more thorough
do you use the same address every time
coming back to this does KP actually honour a reship or is it decorative
be patient with support
