Highlights from this day
  • rae_labels — is vat charged on the declared value or what they think it is worth 07:53
  • seizure_letter — a seizure letter is usually the end of it. you have lost the parcel and that is almost always the whole consequence 08:03
  • belfast_bac — the transit table is pinned and built from what members actually reported, not from what suppliers quote 08:59
  • belfast_bac — winter shipping into a cold country risks freezing, which is a different problem from heat and gets discussed less 09:48
