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

postal not courier

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

be patient with support

LM

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

VB

Batch lookup D-0718: 6 independent reports on file, earliest 2025-09-13.

MM

while im here parcel is sitting at a port with no movement, is that customs or just a port

what does the room consider a normal transit time now

what happened when you queried a missing parcel with the supplier

[edited]

a port stall is not the same as a customs hold and the tracking language usually distinguishes them

coming back to this customs charge came to $185, is that normal for Canada
