PortafilterProcrastinator I find it remarkable that it can be cost effective for a parcel to go on such a convoluted journey.
I was wondering if there was a customs problem, and it’s being returned??
I had to send my MSI graphics card to Poland for a paid repair, you would think I was transporting Nukes I had the package covered with special customs notes, tried to hand one to the driver on pickup, he refused it said it wasn’t required. DHL then said I hand’t provided the correct documentation, but didn’t tell me what was missing. When I found out, there was no way of uploading it. I spoke to head office who said send it to them…I did. This is because, the shipping part needed an “original document, in fecking Polish”. It was all then being handled, which I didn’t believe, spoke to the girls at the depot, who told be it was being sent back to me….this all happened in 2 days. Finally I emailed one of them the paperwork MSI had sent me, that was also taped to the bottom of the parcel and I tried to give to the driver….She said if it comes back, refuse to accept it….It took 2 weeks to get to Poland, using a 3 day service, for a used item with no duties on it and reams of paperwork I had to fill in!
I do think the Brexit process has led to the imposition and wilful/non-wilful misunderstanding of the new rules. All of which could be avoided by electronic pre-payement of duties and self declaration. Of course, there are various companies making a lot of money from this.
