Comparing two orders, one from Singapore and one domestic. The difference in handling is the interesting part, not the price.
Filing the paperwork early is worth more than arguing later about whose fault it was.
Customs handling fees are charged by the carrier, not the state, which is why they are so hard to contest.
Tracked and signed-for is a different product to tracked, and the price difference is smaller than the anxiety difference.
Curious what other people do differently here.
Do you contact the customs office or the carrier first?
A privacy service registered three months ago on a domain claiming twenty years of trading is a contradiction.
Same here.
Split orders. Two small parcels beat one large one for reasons that have nothing to do with price. Two months in on a tracking gap and it lines up.
What do you do about the fee? Do you just pay it? Currently on a tracking gap myself.

Same here.
How long have you been on a tracking gap?
Written confirmation email after every phone call. Cheapest insurance there is.
