Topic starter   [#27743]

Parcel arrived but with a FedEx sticker on the box and no explanation. Wondering what triggers that.

What I have learned is that the 17 day mark is the point to start the process, not the point to panic.

The reference number on the letter is the only way anyone will find the file again, so it goes in the subject line of everything.

Mostly posting so the next person has something to search.

Check the register yourself rather than trusting the number printed on the site. Not on Australia Post but the pattern is familiar.

Customs outcomes are not rulings. A parcel passing is not legal advice. How long have you been on Australia Post?

Fees like that are charged by the carrier, not the state, which is why they are hard to contest.

Split the order. How long have you been on Australia Post?

A privacy service registered three months ago on a domain claiming twenty years of trading is a contradiction.

Do you contact the customs office or the carrier first?

File early. The window is shorter than people think and it starts at the transaction.

What do you do about the fee? Do you just pay it? Same for me with Australia Post, unfortunately.

How do I find the national register if I do not read the language?

“Dispatched” means the label was printed. That is the entire meaning of the word.
