Highlights from this day
the parcel is the risk you accepted. that is worth remembering before it becomes a crisis
thats slower than usual
cold pack arrived warm after 5 days, does it matter
d0 label created
d2 accepted, origin
d4 departed origin
d6 in transit
d6-16 nothing at all
d17 arrived destination country
d19 customs cleared
d21 deliveredhow long is transit to Japan running at the moment
tracking has been dark for 8 days, at what point do i worry
handling fee is the killer
right so a port stall is not the same as a customs hold and the tracking language usually distinguishes them
split shipments arriving weeks apart is normal and is usually a stock thing, not a customs thing
what happened when you queried a missing parcel with the supplier

paying for a faster service does not speed up customs. it speeds up the legs either side of customs
give it another week
coming back to this if you query a missing parcel, be factual and patient. the good suppliers respond to that
anyone shipping into Germany in summer and what do you do about it
