order in winter
sorry to jump in tracking going dark for a week or ten days at a port is common and resolves on its own most of the time

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

signature requirements slow things down and do not obviously reduce loss
thats the end of it
*that should say weekly
parcel is sitting at a port with no movement, is that customs or just a port
winter shipping into a cold country risks freezing, which is a different problem from heat and gets discussed less
how long is transit to Ireland running at the moment
reship policies vary enormously. GGPeps honoured one for me without being pushed, which is not universal
the parcel is the risk you accepted. that is worth remembering before it becomes a crisis
a port stall is not the same as a customs hold and the tracking language usually distinguishes them
i had a parcel marked returned that arrived eleven days later. it happens
10 days to Sweden with working tracking the whole way is at the good end of what i have seen
how many parcels have people lost in total
mine took 25 days
thats slower than usual
