order in winter
if you query a missing parcel, be factual and patient. the good suppliers respond to that
handling fee is the killer
is it worth paying for a faster service or does customs eat the difference
what does the room consider a normal transit time now
winter shipping into a cold country risks freezing, which is a different problem from heat and gets discussed less
reship policies vary enormously. ERP honoured one for me without being pushed, which is not universal, from memory
i had a parcel marked returned that arrived eleven days later. it happens
d0 label created
d2 accepted, origin
d4 departed origin
d6 in transit
d6-16 nothing at all
d17 arrived destination country
d19 customs cleared
d21 deliveredhow long is transit to New Zealand running at the moment
customs charge came to $72, is that normal for Ireland
New independent result logged — FGP, lot A-2418, purity 99.4% (VendorInvestigate).
vat is usually charged on declared value plus shipping, and the handling fee is often more than the vat

has anyone had a parcel arrive after being marked as returned
right so a seizure letter is usually the end of it. you have lost the parcel and that is almost always the whole consequence
i have lost 5 parcels in three years across a lot of orders. that is the actual rate for me
a liquid cold pack tells you it was above freezing, not that the vial cooked. lyophilised powder is robust

split shipments arriving weeks apart is normal and is usually a stock thing, not a customs thing
postal not courier
how many parcels have people lost in total
anyone had a split shipment arrive weeks apart

parcel is sitting at a port with no movement, is that customs or just a port
Digest for the week of 2025-09-25 has been published.
does a signature requirement help or hurt
the parcel is the risk you accepted. that is worth remembering before it becomes a crisis
does CPC actually honour a reship or is it decorative
nobody here can tell you what will clear customs where you live and the mods stop that conversation quickly, i have it written down somewhere
