Comparing two orders, one from Romania and one domestic. The difference in handling is the interesting part, not the price.
Small, light and boring passes. Large, branded and interesting gets examined.
Filing the paperwork early is worth more than arguing later about whose fault it was.
A card that works domestically can fail on an international merchant for dull, uninteresting, entirely legitimate reasons.
Happy to hear I am overthinking it.
Same here.
Same here.
What do you do about the fee? Do you just pay it?
“Dispatched” means the label was printed. That is the entire meaning of the word.
Do you contact the customs office or the carrier first? Side effects was my main issue with the UK too.
Silent tracking in the first week is normal. Scanning happens at hubs, not continuously. Side effects was my main issue with the UK too.
Photograph everything.
The sticker on the box is just so you know they were in there. It is the letter that matters.
Split the order.
How do I find the national register if I do not read the language?
The declaration contradicting the return address is what gets it opened.
File early.
Same here.
Same for me with the UK, unfortunately.
Three month limits are cumulative across parcels in more places than people realise. Not on the UK but the pattern is familiar.
