Topic starter   [#25491]

Got a letter from the customs office about a parcel from India. Reading it carefully before I do anything.

Photograph everything before you open it. It takes ten seconds and settles most disputes.

Tracked and signed-for is a different product to tracked, and the price difference is smaller than the anxiety difference.

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

What I have learned is that the 15 day mark is the point to start the process, not the point to panic.

Would rather do this properly than quickly.

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

Everyone is an expert until the first seizure letter.

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

Three month limits are cumulative across parcels in more places than people realise.

Reminder that a tracking number is not required in the post, but the dates and the carrier are. Currently on USPS myself.

How do I find the national register if I do not read the language? Currently on USPS myself.
