ok so anyone shipping into Poland in summer and what do you do about it

has anyone had a parcel arrive after being marked as returned

declared value, do you go low or realistic

YV
yyz_vial22:43

vat is usually charged on declared value plus shipping, and the handling fee is often more than the vat

give it another week

tracking has been dark for 7 days, at what point do i worry

YV

tracking going dark for a week or ten days at a port is common and resolves on its own most of the time
