Highlights from this day
  • u100_pat — a liquid cold pack tells you it was above freezing, not that the vial cooked. lyophilised powder is robust 19:15
  • patent_2026 — declared value, do you go low or realistic 19:17
  • patent_2026 — reship policies vary enormously. JEEP honoured one for me without being pushed, which is not universal update from 5 months ago: Australia transit has got slower,… 19:18

paying for a faster service does not speed up customs. it speeds up the legs either side of customs

the same address every time is fine. a different address every time looks worse, not better

summer into a hot country is the risk. order in a cooler month if you have the choice, i have it written down somewhere

slightly off topic but cold pack arrived warm after 12 days, does it matter

update from 2 months ago: Canada transit has got slower, consistently, across four orders, ask me again in a month

handling fee is the killer
