Highlights from this day
- chain_of_custody — if you query a missing parcel, be factual and patient. the good suppliers respond to that 13:13
- rotate_the_site — summer into a hot country is the risk. order in a cooler month if you have the choice, ask me again in a month 13:15
- rotate_the_site — vat is usually charged on declared value plus shipping, and the handling fee is often more than the vat 11 days to Germany with working tracking the whole way is at… 15:35
- rotate_the_site — winter shipping into a cold country risks freezing, which is a different problem from heat and gets discussed less 15:44
- sgp_subq — tracking going dark for a week or ten days at a port is common and resolves on its own most of the time 15:46

update on the earlier thing cold pack arrived warm after 18 days, does it matter
thats normal transit
genuine question signature requirements slow things down and do not obviously reduce loss

order in winter
no wording advice here

parcel is sitting at a port with no movement, is that customs or just a port
