Ordered from Serbia for the first time and the prepaid card payment triggered every fraud check the bank has.

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

Small, light and boring passes. Large, branded and interesting gets examined.

Wondering whether my expectations are simply out of date.

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

If you name a shop here, say whether you are affiliated. First line is enough. Not on PostNL but the pattern is familiar.

Same here.

How long have you been on PostNL?

Split the order.

Do you contact the customs office or the carrier first?

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

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

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

Domain age is one of the few signals that is expensive to fake and free to check.

The sticker on the box is just so you know they were in there. It is the letter that matters.

Filing early beats arguing later. And ask for the reference number, always.

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