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

A written confirmation email after every phone call is the cheapest insurance there is.

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

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

Wondering whether my expectations are simply out of date.

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

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

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

How do I find the national register if I do not read the language? A fortnight in on Serbia and it lines up.

The cheapest option costs more once you price in the failure rate.

The sticker on the box is just so you know they were in there. It is the letter that matters.

The declaration contradicting the return address is what gets it opened. A fortnight in on Serbia and it lines up.

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

Check the register yourself rather than trusting the number printed on the site. How long have you been on Serbia?
