Highlights from this day
- taper_tess — i declare it as what it is at a low value. we do not discuss wording beyond that here 22:19
- taper_tess — postal has been better than courier for me every single time. couriers are more thorough 22:32
- taper_tess — a seizure letter is usually the end of it. you have lost the parcel and that is almost always the whole consequence 22:36
is vat charged on the declared value or what they think it is worth
thats a stock split

a liquid cold pack tells you it was above freezing, not that the vial cooked. lyophilised powder is robust, anyway
be patient with support
ok so i had a parcel marked returned that arrived eleven days later. it happens, n of 1 obviously
for the archive paying for a faster service does not speed up customs. it speeds up the legs either side of customs, i think
