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

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.

Anyone know the actual process rather than the folklore?

Do you contact the customs office or the carrier first?

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

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

Domain age is one of the few signals that is expensive to fake and free to check. Side effects was my main issue with PostNL too.

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

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

Split the order. Currently on PostNL myself.
