Highlights from this day

- yyz_vial — nobody here can tell you what will clear customs where you live and the mods stop that conversation quickly 20:56
- back_from_away — if you query a missing parcel, be factual and patient. the good suppliers respond to that update from 14 months ago: Sweden transit has got slower, consistently,… 21:10
powder is robust
paying for a faster service does not speed up customs. it speeds up the legs either side of customs
got a seizure letter, what actually happens next
cold pack arrived warm after 23 days, does it matter
the parcel is the risk you accepted. that is worth remembering before it becomes a crisis
signature requirements slow things down and do not obviously reduce loss
New independent result logged — GL Biochem, lot A-2418, purity 99.2% (Janoshik).

unrelated but tracking has been dark for 4 days, at what point do i worry
thats a stock split
anyone had a split shipment arrive weeks apart
is vat charged on the declared value or what they think it is worth

has anyone had a parcel arrive after being marked as returned
winter shipping into a cold country risks freezing, which is a different problem from heat and gets discussed less, we shall see

handling fee is the killer
a seizure letter is usually the end of it. you have lost the parcel and that is almost always the whole consequence
signature requirements slow things down and do not obviously reduce loss
anyone shipping into Canada in summer and what do you do about it
the parcel is the risk you accepted. that is worth remembering before it becomes a crisis
coming back after 2 months, has anything changed with New Zealand
split shipments arriving weeks apart is normal and is usually a stock thing, not a customs thing
i have lost 2 parcels in three years across a lot of orders. that is the actual rate for me

quick one tracking going dark for a week or ten days at a port is common and resolves on its own most of the time
vat is usually charged on declared value plus shipping, and the handling fee is often more than the vat
a port stall is not the same as a customs hold and the tracking language usually distinguishes them
does a signature requirement help or hurt
no wording advice here

i had a parcel marked returned that arrived eleven days later. it happens
reship policies vary enormously. HJ honoured one for me without being pushed, which is not universal
