Highlights from this day
- madrid_mg — reship policies vary enormously. GGPeps honoured one for me without being pushed, which is not universal 22:06
- back_from_away — winter shipping into a cold country risks freezing, which is a different problem from heat and gets discussed less 22:20
- yyz_vial — paying for a faster service does not speed up customs. it speeds up the legs either side of customs 23:07
thats a stock split
i had a parcel marked returned that arrived eleven days later. it happens
postal has been better than courier for me every single time. couriers are more thorough
the parcel is the risk you accepted. that is worth remembering before it becomes a crisis
reship policies vary enormously. GGPeps honoured one for me without being pushed, which is not universal
coming back to this cold pack arrived warm after 23 days, does it matter
a port stall is not the same as a customs hold and the tracking language usually distinguishes them

while im here update from 5 months ago: Singapore transit has got slower, consistently, across four orders
mine took 13 days
does GL Biochem actually honour a reship or is it decorative
for the archive split shipments arriving weeks apart is normal and is usually a stock thing, not a customs thing, happy to be corrected
courier or postal service, which has been better for Singapore
nobody here can tell you what will clear customs where you live and the mods stop that conversation quickly, anyway

what happened when you queried a missing parcel with the supplier
summer into a hot country is the risk. order in a cooler month if you have the choice
