Topic starter   [#40406]

Correos has held my parcel for 38 days with no scan. Is that normal for this route or should I start the process?

A card that works domestically can fail on an international merchant for dull, uninteresting, entirely legitimate reasons.

The returns address and the contact address are often different and only one of them is a real building.

Customs handling fees are charged by the carrier, not the state, which is why they are so hard to contest.

A written confirmation email after every phone call is the cheapest insurance there is.

Interested in the boring correct answer.

Do you contact the customs office or the carrier first?

Be careful reading one parcel as a rule. Two successes build a false model.

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

The published rule and the enforcement pattern are different documents. Only one of them affects you.

What do you do about the fee? Do you just pay it? Not on Royal Mail but the pattern is familiar.

Written confirmation email after every phone call. Cheapest insurance there is. Eight months in on Royal Mail and it lines up.

The declaration contradicting the return address is what gets it opened.

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

Everyone is an expert until the first seizure letter.
