handling fee is the killer
is vat charged on the declared value or what they think it is worth
customs charge came to €94, is that normal for Ireland

if you query a missing parcel, be factual and patient. the good suppliers respond to that
update from 1 months ago: Sweden transit has got slower, consistently, across four orders
is it worth paying for a faster service or does customs eat the difference
do you use the same address every time
be patient with support
