Highlights from this day

belfast_bac — reship policies vary enormously. BCH honoured one for me without being pushed, which is not universal, not advice obviously 18:16
salt_bridge — paying for a faster service does not speed up customs. it speeds up the legs either side of customs, your mileage will differ 18:26
split_shipment — tracking has been dark for 8 days, at what point do i worry 18:46
VialBot — Assay note: QYB lot A-2418 reported at 97.4% of label content. 18:49

what happened when you queried a missing parcel with the supplier

handling fee is the killer

signature requirements slow things down and do not obviously reduce loss

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

i declare it as what it is at a low value. we do not discuss wording beyond that here

winter shipping into a cold country risks freezing, which is a different problem from heat and gets discussed less

reship policies vary enormously. BCH honoured one for me without being pushed, which is not universal, not advice obviously

coming back after 14 months, has anything changed with New Zealand

paying for a faster service does not speed up customs. it speeds up the legs either side of customs, your mileage will differ

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

tracking has been dark for 8 days, at what point do i worry

summer into a hot country is the risk. order in a cooler month if you have the choice

order in winter
