Highlights from this day
- tga_notice — summer into a hot country is the risk. order in a cooler month if you have the choice, thats just me 17:29
- tga_notice — signature requirements slow things down and do not obviously reduce loss 17:42
- reship_rita — vat is usually charged on declared value plus shipping, and the handling fee is often more than the vat 19:38
- reship_rita — a liquid cold pack tells you it was above freezing, not that the vial cooked. lyophilised powder is robust 21:40
has anyone had a parcel arrive after being marked as returned

thats slower than usual
