Topic starter   [#39165]

PostNL has held my parcel for 25 days with no scan. Is that normal for this route or should I start the process?

What I have learned is that the 25 day mark is the point to start the process, not the point to panic.

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

Anyone know the actual process rather than the folklore?

Do you contact the customs office or the carrier first?

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

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

“Dispatched” means the label was printed. That is the entire meaning of the word.

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

How do I find the national register if I do not read the language?

The declaration contradicting the return address is what gets it opened. How long have you been on a prepaid card?

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

Be careful reading one parcel as a rule. Two successes build a false model.
