tracking going dark for a week or ten days at a port is common and resolves on its own most of the time
a seizure letter is usually the end of it. you have lost the parcel and that is almost always the whole consequence
update from 6 months ago: Japan transit has got slower, consistently, across four orders
nobody here can tell you what will clear customs where you live and the mods stop that conversation quickly, i have it written down somewhere
give it another week
postal has been better than courier for me every single time. couriers are more thorough
order in winter
powder is robust
has anyone had a parcel arrive after being marked as returned
the parcel is the risk you accepted. that is worth remembering before it becomes a crisis
does a signature requirement help or hurt
thats the end of it

*PeptideMeter not the other one
postal not courier
no wording advice here
a liquid cold pack tells you it was above freezing, not that the vial cooked. lyophilised powder is robust
i declare it as what it is at a low value. we do not discuss wording beyond that here
courier or postal service, which has been better for Singapore
i have lost 6 parcels in three years across a lot of orders. that is the actual rate for me, ymmv
mine took 16 days
vat is usually charged on declared value plus shipping, and the handling fee is often more than the vat
update on the earlier thing a port stall is not the same as a customs hold and the tracking language usually distinguishes them
ask about reship
a seizure letter is usually the end of it. you have lost the parcel and that is almost always the whole consequence
reship policies vary enormously. GGPeps honoured one for me without being pushed, which is not universal
split shipments arriving weeks apart is normal and is usually a stock thing, not a customs thing
i had a parcel marked returned that arrived eleven days later. it happens
declared value, do you go low or realistic
