Parcel arrived but with a Canada Post sticker on the box and no explanation. Wondering what triggers that.

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

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

The returns address and the contact address are often different and only one of them is a real building.

Curious what other people do differently here.

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

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

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

Same here.

Same for me with PayPal, unfortunately.

Do you contact the customs office or the carrier first?

Customs outcomes are not rulings. A parcel passing is not legal advice.

“Registered with” is doing an enormous amount of work in that sentence. How long have you been on PayPal?

Three month limits are cumulative across parcels in more places than people realise. Not on PayPal but the pattern is familiar.

A privacy service registered three months ago on a domain claiming twenty years of trading is a contradiction.
