Highlights from this day
- orfor_watch — a liquid cold pack tells you it was above freezing, not that the vial cooked. lyophilised powder is robust 16:30
- plateau_pen — does JEEP actually honour a reship or is it decorative 17:13
- willow_waits — ok so winter shipping into a cold country risks freezing, which is a different problem from heat and gets discussed less 20:36

thats a stock split

does JEEP actually honour a reship or is it decorative
courier or postal service, which has been better for the Netherlands
got a seizure letter, what actually happens next
quick one split shipments arriving weeks apart is normal and is usually a stock thing, not a customs thing
vat is usually charged on declared value plus shipping, and the handling fee is often more than the vat
the same address every time is fine. a different address every time looks worse, not better
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
postal has been better than courier for me every single time. couriers are more thorough
is vat charged on the declared value or what they think it is worth
handling fee is the killer

thats normal transit
anyone shipping into the Netherlands in summer and what do you do about it
a seizure letter is usually the end of it. you have lost the parcel and that is almost always the whole consequence
