Highlights from this day
- acetate_ash — reship policies vary enormously. Homopeptide honoured one for me without being pushed, which is not universal, we shall see 23:06
- two_labs_two_answers — signature requirements slow things down and do not obviously reduce loss 23:26
- two_labs_two_answers — declared value, do you go low or realistic the transit table is pinned and built from what members actually reported, not from what suppliers quote 23:28
- acetate_ash — split shipments arriving weeks apart is normal and is usually a stock thing, not a customs thing a liquid cold pack tells you it was above freezing, not that the vial… 23:34
thats a stock split

how long is transit to Sweden running at the moment
tracking going dark for a week or ten days at a port is common and resolves on its own most of the time
mine took 8 days
update on the earlier thing is vat charged on the declared value or what they think it is worth

no wording advice here
a seizure letter is usually the end of it. you have lost the parcel and that is almost always the whole consequence
postal not courier
ok so postal has been better than courier for me every single time. couriers are more thorough
ports do that

has anyone had a parcel arrive after being marked as returned

summer into a hot country is the risk. order in a cooler month if you have the choice

coming back after 20 months, has anything changed with Sweden
split shipments arriving weeks apart is normal and is usually a stock thing, not a customs thing
a liquid cold pack tells you it was above freezing, not that the vial cooked. lyophilised powder is robust

the same address every time is fine. a different address every time looks worse, not better
i had a parcel marked returned that arrived eleven days later. it happens
thats the end of it
anyone shipping into Sweden in summer and what do you do about it
paying for a faster service does not speed up customs. it speeds up the legs either side of customs
