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

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

Photograph everything before you open it. It takes ten seconds and settles most disputes.

The address matters more than the contents after a while, and nobody warns you about that.

Small, light and boring passes. Large, branded and interesting gets examined.

Happy to hear I am overthinking it.

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

Split orders. Two small parcels beat one large one for reasons that have nothing to do with price.

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

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