Trying to work out whether Spain is workable at the moment, because the rules I find online contradict each other.
The virtual card route gives you recourse and the transfer route gives you a lower price. Pick which you actually want.
What changed my experience was splitting orders rather than ordering larger and less often.
Chargeback windows are shorter than people think and the clock starts at the transaction, not at the complaint.
Would rather do this properly than quickly.
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.
“Dispatched” means the label was printed. That is the entire meaning of the word.
Split the order.
The published rule and the enforcement pattern are different documents. Only one of them affects you.
Check the register yourself rather than trusting the number printed on the site.
Do you contact the customs office or the carrier first?
Fees like that are charged by the carrier, not the state, which is why they are hard to contest.
Customs outcomes are not rulings. A parcel passing is not legal advice.
