Topic starter   [#35612]

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

The three month rule is cumulative across parcels in more places than people realise.

What I have learned is that the 11 day mark is the point to start the process, not the point to panic.

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

Declarations that contradict the return address are the ones that get opened.

Happy to hear I am overthinking it.

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

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

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

Photograph everything before you open it. Ten seconds, settles most disputes.
