Topic starter   [#26557]

UPS has held my parcel for 15 days with no scan. Is that normal for this route or should I start the process?

The prepaid card route gives you recourse and the transfer route gives you a lower price. Pick which you actually want.

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

Filing the paperwork early is worth more than arguing later about whose fault it was.

Interested in the boring correct answer.

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

Written confirmation email after every phone call. Cheapest insurance there is.

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

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

File early. Same for me with Royal Mail, unfortunately.

Everyone is an expert until the first seizure letter.

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.

File early. The window is shorter than people think and it starts at the transaction. Currently on Royal Mail myself.

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

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