Ordered from Germany for the first time and the debit card payment triggered every fraud check the bank has.

Chargeback windows are shorter than people think and the clock starts at the transaction, not at the complaint.

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

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

Anyone know the actual process rather than the folklore?

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

Do you contact the customs office or the carrier first?

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

Everyone is an expert until the first seizure letter.

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

The address matters more than the contents eventually. Changing what you order when the address is flagged changes nothing. Same for me with Portugal, unfortunately.
