La Poste has held my parcel for 8 days with no scan. Is that normal for this route or should I start the process?

Small, light and boring passes. Large, branded and interesting gets examined.

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

Would rather do this properly than quickly.

How do I find the national register if I do not read the language? How long have you been on La Poste?

The address matters more than the contents eventually. Changing what you order when the address is flagged changes nothing.

Split the order.

Fees like that are charged by the carrier, not the state, which is why they are hard to contest.

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

Be careful reading one parcel as a rule. Two successes build a false model.

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

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

Do you contact the customs office or the carrier first?
