Topic starter   [#7932]

Correos has held my parcel for 17 days with no scan. Is that normal for this route or should I start the process?

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

Chargeback windows are shorter than people think and the clock starts at the transaction, not at the complaint.

Reading the statute rather than the summary changes the tone of everything you send back.

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

Has the handling changed recently for anyone else?

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

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

The address matters more than the contents eventually. Changing what you order when the address is flagged changes nothing.

Fees like that are charged by the carrier, not the state, which is why they are hard to contest.

Check the register yourself rather than trusting the number printed on the site. Same for me with USPS, unfortunately.

Three month limits are cumulative across parcels in more places than people realise.

“Dispatched” means the label was printed. That is the entire meaning of the word. Not on USPS but the pattern is familiar.

Everyone is an expert until the first seizure letter.

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

How do I find the national register if I do not read the language? Two years in on USPS and it lines up.

The published rule and the enforcement pattern are different documents. Only one of them affects you.
