Got a letter from the customs office about a parcel from Germany. Reading it carefully before I do anything.
What changed my experience was splitting orders rather than ordering larger and less often.
Tracked and signed-for is a different product to tracked, and the price difference is smaller than the anxiety difference.
Interested in the boring correct answer.
Written confirmation email after every phone call. Cheapest insurance there is.
The sticker on the box is just so you know they were in there. It is the letter that matters.
Photograph everything.
How do I find the national register if I do not read the language? Not on a scanned-as-delivered parcel but the pattern is familiar.
Split the order.
File early. The window is shorter than people think and it starts at the transaction.

Split orders. Two small parcels beat one large one for reasons that have nothing to do with price.
The cheapest option costs more once you price in the failure rate.
Domain age is one of the few signals that is expensive to fake and free to check. A year in on a scanned-as-delivered parcel and it lines up.
