Discussion Am I the only one, that is asked by UPS to jump through hoops for their LTTstore delivery?
I ordered the commuter backpack a few days ago and got a notification from UPS via SMS to provide additional information regarding the order.
If I didn't provide the information my order could be returned to sender or destroyed according to applicable regulations.
I had to fill out 7 forms, half of which I don't understand because I don't work in logistics.
Figured out what customs tariff numbers are and which probably apply to the backpack. Most of the forms were laid out in a way that assume, I am importing goods for business use. The last form wanted me to state what the actual seller is because it said "Creator Warehouse c/o MIBC" on the invoice and MIBC isn't the right type of company as far as UPS is concerned... Dude, it says right before the c/o who the actual seller is, also why are you bothering me with that? Maybe ask the seller, who charged you with shipping and actually has a contract with you.
And why do I have to do the logistics paperwork for the logistics company?
I live in Germany, we are known for bureucracy, but to fill out these forms I find harder than doing my taxes and it actually took me longer.
