Topic starter   [#23325]

Royal Mail has held my parcel for 10 days with no scan. Is that normal for this route or should I start the process?

The reference number on the letter is the only way anyone will find the file again, so it goes in the subject line of everything.

The bank blocking a payment is a completely different problem from the shop blocking it, and the fix is different.

Happy to hear I am overthinking it.

Split orders. Two small parcels beat one large one for reasons that have nothing to do with price. A fortnight in on a tracking gap and it lines up.

No referral links. Shortened links and tracking parameters are the usual offenders.

Written confirmation email after every phone call. Cheapest insurance there is. Currently on a tracking gap myself.

Do you contact the customs office or the carrier first?

Reminder that a tracking number is not required in the post, but the dates and the carrier are.

What do you do about the fee? Do you just pay it?

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

Everyone is an expert until the first seizure letter.
