Topic starter   [#30638]

An Post has held my parcel for 3 days with no scan. Is that normal for this route or should I start the process?

The three month rule is cumulative across parcels in more places than people realise.

How long would you wait before starting the process?

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

The declaration contradicting the return address is what gets it opened. Currently on Ireland myself.

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

“Registered with” is doing an enormous amount of work in that sentence.

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

What do you do about the fee? Do you just pay it? Not on Ireland but the pattern is familiar.

No referral links. Shortened links and tracking parameters are the usual offenders.

Everyone is an expert until the first seizure letter.

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