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

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

A card that works domestically can fail on an international merchant for dull, uninteresting, entirely legitimate reasons.

Happy to hear I am overthinking it.

The declaration contradicting the return address is what gets it opened.

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? Same for me with Poland, unfortunately.

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

Fees like that are charged by the carrier, not the state, which is why they are hard to contest. Two months in on Poland and it lines up.

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

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

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