  • VialBot — Verification log updated: GGPeps — evidence added, status unchanged. 08:14
  • dark_for_ten_days — genuine question i declare it as what it is at a low value. we do not discuss wording beyond that here i had a parcel marked returned that arrived eleven days later.… 10:42

unrelated but a seizure letter is usually the end of it. you have lost the parcel and that is almost always the whole consequence, i could be wrong

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

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

reship policies vary enormously. MKM honoured one for me without being pushed, which is not universal
winter shipping into a cold country risks freezing, which is a different problem from heat and gets discussed less
