Highlights from this day
- lot_number_lou — follow up i have lost 5 parcels in three years across a lot of orders. that is the actual rate for me 21:09
- split_shipment — paying for a faster service does not speed up customs. it speeds up the legs either side of customs 22:05
- first_and_last_four — winter shipping into a cold country risks freezing, which is a different problem from heat and gets discussed less, take that with a pinch of salt 22:43
- cagri_curious — nobody here can tell you what will clear customs where you live and the mods stop that conversation quickly 23:04
postal has been better than courier for me every single time. couriers are more thorough
cold pack arrived warm after 14 days, does it matter
thats a stock split

parcel is sitting at a port with no movement, is that customs or just a port
courier or postal service, which has been better for Australia
quick one vat is usually charged on declared value plus shipping, and the handling fee is often more than the vat
fridge_thermopostal has been better than courier for me every single time. couriers are more thorough
customs charge came to €185, is that normal for Singapore
split shipments arriving weeks apart is normal and is usually a stock thing, not a customs thing
powder is robust
thats normal transit
paying for a faster service does not speed up customs. it speeds up the legs either side of customs
