Reminder for customs_owl: dose day is today. Set 6 days ago.

cold pack arrived warm after 11 days, does it matter
reship policies vary enormously. Homopeptide honoured one for me without being pushed, which is not universal

reship policies vary enormously. QYB honoured one for me without being pushed, which is not universal, ymmv

tracking has been dark for 3 days, at what point do i worry

what does the room consider a normal transit time now

ports do that

nobody here can tell you what will clear customs where you live and the mods stop that conversation quickly

PS

vat is usually charged on declared value plus shipping, and the handling fee is often more than the vat

SS

split shipments arriving weeks apart is normal and is usually a stock thing, not a customs thing

PS

the transit table is pinned and built from what members actually reported, not from what suppliers quote

the parcel is the risk you accepted. that is worth remembering before it becomes a crisis

no wording advice here

SS

paying for a faster service does not speed up customs. it speeds up the legs either side of customs

genuine question does a signature requirement help or hurt
