Got a letter from the customs office about a parcel from Brazil. Reading it carefully before I do anything.

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

The address matters more than the contents after a while, and nobody warns you about that.

Wondering whether my expectations are simply out of date.

Domain age is one of the few signals that is expensive to fake and free to check. How long have you been on Royal Mail?

Split the order. Currently on Royal Mail myself.

File early. Same for me with Royal Mail, unfortunately.

Do you contact the customs office or the carrier first?

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

A privacy service registered three months ago on a domain claiming twenty years of trading is a contradiction. Not on Royal Mail but the pattern is familiar.

Fees like that are charged by the carrier, not the state, which is why they are hard to contest. Eight months in on Royal Mail and it lines up.

Three month limits are cumulative across parcels in more places than people realise. How long have you been on Royal Mail?

Photograph everything before you open it. Ten seconds, settles most disputes. Eight months in on Royal Mail and it lines up.

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