Monday19 messages6 participantstimes are UTC
Highlights from this day
  • madrid_mg — reship policies vary enormously. SWB honoured one for me without being pushed, which is not universal 20:01
  • first_month_fi — got a seizure letter, what actually happens next 20:07
  • ms_ms_mira — summer into a hot country is the risk. order in a cooler month if you have the choice, i could be wrong 20:29
  • first_month_fi — a seizure letter is usually the end of it. you have lost the parcel and that is almost always the whole consequence 21:10
  • VialBot — Inter-lab diff for lot E-2205: 98.6% vs 96.8%. Within expected range. 21:52

unrelated but nobody here can tell you what will clear customs where you live and the mods stop that conversation quickly

sorry to jump in if you query a missing parcel, be factual and patient. the good suppliers respond to that

i declare it as what it is at a low value. we do not discuss wording beyond that here

thats normal transit

winter shipping into a cold country risks freezing, which is a different problem from heat and gets discussed less, from memory

MM

5 days to Singapore with working tracking the whole way is at the good end of what i have seen

a liquid cold pack tells you it was above freezing, not that the vial cooked. lyophilised powder is robust

the transit table is pinned and built from what members actually reported, not from what suppliers quote

SS

i had a parcel marked returned that arrived eleven days later. it happens
