Highlights from this day
- tb500_tobias — a port stall is not the same as a customs hold and the tracking language usually distinguishes them 19:24
- shame_and_meds — reship policies vary enormously. GL Biochem honoured one for me without being pushed, which is not universal 19:26
- shame_and_meds — i declare it as what it is at a low value. we do not discuss wording beyond that here 19:53
- private_script_pri — *PeptideMeter not the other one 21:03
- freeze_thaw — genuine question declared value, do you go low or realistic reship policies vary enormously. MKM honoured one for me without being pushed, which is not universal 21:04

parcel is sitting at a port with no movement, is that customs or just a port
thats a stock split

handling fee is the killer
update from 7 months ago: Poland transit has got slower, consistently, across four orders
i have lost 4 parcels in three years across a lot of orders. that is the actual rate for me, ill dig out the number
coming back after 6 months, has anything changed with the Netherlands
