Highlights from this day
  • abdo_two_inch — does QST actually honour a reship or is it decorative 22:34
  • van_isle_vial — is vat charged on the declared value or what they think it is worth 23:18
  • van_isle_vial — a seizure letter is usually the end of it. you have lost the parcel and that is almost always the whole consequence 23:29

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

the transit table is pinned and built from what members actually reported, not from what suppliers quote, n of 1 obviously

postal has been better than courier for me every single time. couriers are more thorough

AO

if you query a missing parcel, be factual and patient. the good suppliers respond to that

follow up anyone had a split shipment arrive weeks apart

i have lost 3 parcels in three years across a lot of orders. that is the actual rate for me

PP

paying for a faster service does not speed up customs. it speeds up the legs either side of customs
