Second pass at: A payment that went through twice: how it was resolved

On the subject in the title: Second pass at: A payment that went through twice: how it was resolved Working notes rather than a conclusion.

A logistics question, since the answers here are usually better than anywhere else I have looked.

Parcel despatched 8 days ago, tracking last updated 5 days ago at a customs facility, no further movement. Cold pack included at despatch.

Two questions. First, at what point is this genuinely a problem rather than an ordinary delay? Second, if it does arrive, what is the actual decision process for assessing it, as opposed to the two extremes people usually offer?

Coming back to the opening post, because the follow-up matters more than the original answer.

Payment mechanics: most suppliers accept bank transfer, crypto, and some accept credit cards. Each has different risk and different fees. Understand before you commit to a payment method.

Thank you for the correction. I have edited my earlier post with a note rather than silently, so the thread still makes sense to read. The error was mine and it was the kind that comes from remembering a figure instead of looking it up.
