the same address every time is fine. a different address every time looks worse, not better

Highlights from this day
- blank_run — sorry to jump in i have lost 8 parcels in three years across a lot of orders. that is the actual rate for me 22:32
- blank_run — summer into a hot country is the risk. order in a cooler month if you have the choice 22:36
- blank_run — does QSC actually honour a reship or is it decorative 22:38
- point_two_five — a port stall is not the same as a customs hold and the tracking language usually distinguishes them 22:59
- point_two_five — do you use the same address every time 23:30
ok so the parcel is the risk you accepted. that is worth remembering before it becomes a crisis

while im here signature requirements slow things down and do not obviously reduce loss
does QSC actually honour a reship or is it decorative

coming back after 18 months, has anything changed with the UK
sorry to jump in anyone shipping into the UK in summer and what do you do about it
powder is robust

split shipments arriving weeks apart is normal and is usually a stock thing, not a customs thing
be patient with support

postal has been better than courier for me every single time. couriers are more thorough
tracking going dark for a week or ten days at a port is common and resolves on its own most of the time
thats a stock split

has anyone had a parcel arrive after being marked as returned
vat is usually charged on declared value plus shipping, and the handling fee is often more than the vat
update from 23 months ago: the UK transit has got slower, consistently, across four orders
i declare it as what it is at a low value. we do not discuss wording beyond that here
do you use the same address every time

a seizure letter is usually the end of it. you have lost the parcel and that is almost always the whole consequence
thats normal transit
*that should say weekly
