UPS has held my parcel for 34 days with no scan. Is that normal for this route or should I start the process?

What changed my experience was splitting orders rather than ordering larger and less often.

The bank blocking a payment is a completely different problem from the shop blocking it, and the fix is different.

Has the handling changed recently for anyone else?

Silent tracking in the first week is normal. Scanning happens at hubs, not continuously.

Check the register yourself rather than trusting the number printed on the site.

What do you do about the fee? Do you just pay it?

“Registered with” is doing an enormous amount of work in that sentence.

Fees like that are charged by the carrier, not the state, which is why they are hard to contest. Currently on the customs office myself.
