UPS has held my parcel for 30 days with no scan. Is that normal for this route or should I start the process?

UPS scans are generated at the hub, so a silent tracking page is not evidence of a problem for the first 30 days.

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

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

Curious what other people do differently here.

The address matters more than the contents eventually. Changing what you order when the address is flagged changes nothing.

Written confirmation email after every phone call. Cheapest insurance there is.

Do you contact the customs office or the carrier first? Side effects was my main issue with the UK too.

File early. The window is shorter than people think and it starts at the transaction. Same for me with the UK, unfortunately.

Check the register yourself rather than trusting the number printed on the site.

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