Deutsche Post has held my parcel for 35 days with no scan. Is that normal for this route or should I start the process?

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

The returns address and the contact address are often different and only one of them is a real building.

Mostly posting so the next person has something to search.

Same here.

Six weeks in on Canada Post and it lines up.

The cheapest option costs more once you price in the failure rate.

The sticker on the box is just so you know they were in there. It is the letter that matters. Not on Canada Post but the pattern is familiar.

Do you contact the customs office or the carrier first?

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

File early. The window is shorter than people think and it starts at the transaction.

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

Domain age is one of the few signals that is expensive to fake and free to check.

The declaration contradicting the return address is what gets it opened.

“Registered with” is doing an enormous amount of work in that sentence.

Customs outcomes are not rulings. A parcel passing is not legal advice. Currently on Canada Post myself.
