Topic starter   [#18116]

Got a letter from the customs office about a parcel from the United States. Reading it carefully before I do anything.

What I have learned is that the 20 day mark is the point to start the process, not the point to panic.

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

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

Mostly posting so the next person has something to search.

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

The sticker on the box is just so you know they were in there. It is the letter that matters. Same for me with Revolut, unfortunately.

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

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

Do you contact the customs office or the carrier first? Not on Revolut but the pattern is familiar.

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