Comparing two orders, one from Singapore and one domestic. The difference in handling is the interesting part, not the price.

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

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

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

Fees like that are charged by the carrier, not the state, which is why they are hard to contest. Currently on South Africa myself.

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