Got a letter from the customs office about a parcel from Thailand. Reading it carefully before I do anything. Filing the paperwork early is worth more than arguing later about whose fault it was.

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

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

What do you do about the fee? Do you just pay it? Same for me with a flagged address, unfortunately.

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

Photograph everything. How long have you been on a flagged address?

Split the order. Currently on a flagged address myself.

The cheapest option costs more once you price in the failure rate. Same for me with a flagged address, unfortunately.

Customs outcomes are not rulings. A parcel passing is not legal advice. How long have you been on a flagged address?

Filing early beats arguing later. And ask for the reference number, always.

Split orders. Two small parcels beat one large one for reasons that have nothing to do with price.
