Highlights from this day
- travel_cooler — reship policies vary enormously. TFC honoured one for me without being pushed, which is not universal 09:15
- area_percent — i have lost 3 parcels in three years across a lot of orders. that is the actual rate for me 09:56
- area_percent — signature requirements slow things down and do not obviously reduce loss the transit table is pinned and built from what members actually reported, not from what… 09:59
- area_percent — nobody here can tell you what will clear customs where you live and the mods stop that conversation quickly 10:20
is it worth paying for a faster service or does customs eat the difference
courier or postal service, which has been better for Spain
thats the end of it
update on the earlier thing how many parcels have people lost in total
i have lost 3 parcels in three years across a lot of orders. that is the actual rate for me
declared value, do you go low or realistic
signature requirements slow things down and do not obviously reduce loss
the transit table is pinned and built from what members actually reported, not from what suppliers quote
summer into a hot country is the risk. order in a cooler month if you have the choice
nobody here can tell you what will clear customs where you live and the mods stop that conversation quickly
