Highlights from this day
- mhra_unlicensed — i have lost 9 parcels in three years across a lot of orders. that is the actual rate for me 18:36
- tb500_tobias — the parcel is the risk you accepted. that is worth remembering before it becomes a crisis, thats just me 18:40
- seizure_letter — a port stall is not the same as a customs hold and the tracking language usually distinguishes them 18:45
- drawup_dee — got a seizure letter, what actually happens next 18:49
i declare it as what it is at a low value. we do not discuss wording beyond that here
