Highlights from this day
- reship_rita — a liquid cold pack tells you it was above freezing, not that the vial cooked. lyophilised powder is robust, i think 18:20
- hydrate_hana — declared value, do you go low or realistic 19:19
- reship_rita — i had a parcel marked returned that arrived eleven days later. it happens 20:30
- reship_rita — what happened when you queried a missing parcel with the supplier update from 18 months ago: New Zealand transit has got slower, consistently, across four orders 20:37
i have lost 4 parcels in three years across a lot of orders. that is the actual rate for me
24 days to the Netherlands with working tracking the whole way is at the good end of what i have seen
update from 12 months ago: Singapore transit has got slower, consistently, across four orders, thats just me
postal not courier

| Destination | Median days | Worst logged |
|---|---|---|
| UK | 11 | 34 |
| Germany | 9 | 28 |
| Netherlands | 9 | 22 |
| Canada | 14 | 41 |
| Australia | 13 | 38 |
| Singapore | 6 | 15 |
tracking going dark for a week or ten days at a port is common and resolves on its own most of the time
thats the end of it
slightly off topic but a seizure letter is usually the end of it. you have lost the parcel and that is almost always the whole consequence

parcel is sitting at a port with no movement, is that customs or just a port
coming back after 12 months, has anything changed with the UK
[edited]the same address every time is fine. a different address every time looks worse, not better
