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

The bank blocking a payment is a completely different problem from the shop blocking it, and the fix is different.

The credit card route gives you recourse and the transfer route gives you a lower price. Pick which you actually want.

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

The reference number on the letter is the only way anyone will find the file again, so it goes in the subject line of everything.

Mostly posting so the next person has something to search.

Photograph everything before you open it. Ten seconds, settles most disputes.

Do you contact the customs office or the carrier first?

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