I guess it was handled by one of those Londoners who think anything north of Watford is a foreign country.

Sounds like some shipping routes went via EU hops in the past, even if they didn't need to technically - probably a hub and spoke network issue that will now have to be changed.

Just write it down as another benefit of freedom!  :D

So I sold something on eBay. To someone in the UK. So this is a UK to UK delivery. But due to some stupid unibrowed morons at UPS they shipped it in a cage to Frankfurt. And now to route it back to the UK it needs to go through customs and of course there’s a fee on that and no customs declaration attached because it’s a UK domestic package! It’s gone basically.

Fortunately only £65 but it’s a shit show which certainly doesn’t do my reputation as a seller any good.

That's stupid. It's the courier's fault. Brexit or no-Brexit. Go after them!

Oh completely. They said they’re still trying to deliver it but it hasn’t moved for a week. So I said I’d hit them with moneyclaim if it’s not returned to sender or delivered within 7 days.
