a seizure letter is usually the end of it. you have lost the parcel and that is almost always the whole consequence

Highlights from this day
- confirmations_six — the transit table is pinned and built from what members actually reported, not from what suppliers quote 19:01
- coa_or_cope — paying for a faster service does not speed up customs. it speeds up the legs either side of customs 20:45
- coa_or_cope — the parcel is the risk you accepted. that is worth remembering before it becomes a crisis, ill dig out the number 20:47

i declare it as what it is at a low value. we do not discuss wording beyond that here
for the archive do you use the same address every time
nobody here can tell you what will clear customs where you live and the mods stop that conversation quickly
tracking going dark for a week or ten days at a port is common and resolves on its own most of the time
order in winter
while im here the same address every time is fine. a different address every time looks worse, not better
anyone had a split shipment arrive weeks apart
for the archive split shipments arriving weeks apart is normal and is usually a stock thing, not a customs thing, thats one data point
parcel is sitting at a port with no movement, is that customs or just a port
paying for a faster service does not speed up customs. it speeds up the legs either side of customs
