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

What I have learned is that the 36 day mark is the point to start the process, not the point to panic.

The prepaid card route gives you recourse and the transfer route gives you a lower price. Pick which you actually want.

Tracked and signed-for is a different product to tracked, and the price difference is smaller than the anxiety difference.

What changed my experience was splitting orders rather than ordering larger and less often.

Mostly posting so the next person has something to search.
