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

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

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

Happy to hear I am overthinking it.

Fees like that are charged by the carrier, not the state, which is why they are hard to contest. How long have you been on South Africa?

Do you contact the customs office or the carrier first?

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

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

Customs outcomes are not rulings. A parcel passing is not legal advice.

Everyone is an expert until the first seizure letter.

How do I find the national register if I do not read the language?
