Highlights from this day
- area_percent — summer into a hot country is the risk. order in a cooler month if you have the choice, n of 1 obviously 18:31
- amsterdam_aliquot — a seizure letter is usually the end of it. you have lost the parcel and that is almost always the whole consequence 19:18
- cold_chain_cmdr — split shipments arriving weeks apart is normal and is usually a stock thing, not a customs thing, i have it written down somewhere 19:39
ask about reship
while im here postal has been better than courier for me every single time. couriers are more thorough
give it another week
summer into a hot country is the risk. order in a cooler month if you have the choice, n of 1 obviously
14 days to Sweden with working tracking the whole way is at the good end of what i have seen
handling fee is the killer
if you query a missing parcel, be factual and patient. the good suppliers respond to that
a seizure letter is usually the end of it. you have lost the parcel and that is almost always the whole consequence
thats the end of it
no wording advice here
split shipments arriving weeks apart is normal and is usually a stock thing, not a customs thing, i have it written down somewhere
i had a parcel marked returned that arrived eleven days later. it happens, ask me again in a month
