Highlights from this day
- amylin_amy — genuine question a liquid cold pack tells you it was above freezing, not that the vial cooked. lyophilised powder is robust 19:01
- marrow.mod — 20 days to Spain with working tracking the whole way is at the good end of what i have seen 19:44
- rezept_rolf — reship policies vary enormously. QYB honoured one for me without being pushed, which is not universal 21:16
- hair_month_four — update on the earlier thing do you use the same address every time 21:38

thats slower than usual
handling fee is the killer
ask about reship
split shipments arriving weeks apart is normal and is usually a stock thing, not a customs thing
nobody here can tell you what will clear customs where you live and the mods stop that conversation quickly
has anyone had a parcel arrive after being marked as returned
postal has been better than courier for me every single time. couriers are more thorough, take that with a pinch of salt
update from 23 months ago: Japan transit has got slower, consistently, across four orders
thats the end of it
give it another week
mine took 22 days
no wording advice here
20 days to Spain with working tracking the whole way is at the good end of what i have seen

i had a parcel marked returned that arrived eleven days later. it happens, thats just me
declared value, do you go low or realistic
ports do that
thats a stock split

ok so what does the room consider a normal transit time now
i had a parcel marked returned that arrived eleven days later. it happens
courier or postal service, which has been better for Sweden
update on the earlier thing tracking going dark for a week or ten days at a port is common and resolves on its own most of the time
winter shipping into a cold country risks freezing, which is a different problem from heat and gets discussed less
a seizure letter is usually the end of it. you have lost the parcel and that is almost always the whole consequence
i have lost 6 parcels in three years across a lot of orders. that is the actual rate for me
20:34marrow.mod pinned a message
the transit table is pinned and built from what members actually reported, not from what suppliers quote
if you query a missing parcel, be factual and patient. the good suppliers respond to that
the parcel is the risk you accepted. that is worth remembering before it becomes a crisis, your mileage will differ
paying for a faster service does not speed up customs. it speeds up the legs either side of customs
slightly off topic but i declare it as what it is at a low value. we do not discuss wording beyond that here
paying for a faster service does not speed up customs. it speeds up the legs either side of customs
reship policies vary enormously. QYB honoured one for me without being pushed, which is not universal
follow up vat is usually charged on declared value plus shipping, and the handling fee is often more than the vat
anyone had a split shipment arrive weeks apart
be patient with support
the same address every time is fine. a different address every time looks worse, not better
thats normal transit

sorry to jump in customs charge came to $94, is that normal for Canada
[edited]update on the earlier thing do you use the same address every time
