I've experienced a disturbing uptick in the number of packs lost to customs over the last six months or so.
Since I order bulk exclusively (I like to make one large order quarterly and negotiate pricing), this has meant a LOT of lost revenue for my vendors.
They've been great about it, but the delays and losses are so out of the normal patterns I'm used to over the past years.
Say I get my shipments split into roughly 12 packs each quarter. It used to be that I'd lose one every 20 or so.
This last three months I'm at an 8/12 success rate. This is multiple vendors, different addresses.
Has anyone else experienced an uptick in LLs and customs issues?
