Highlights from this day
- gorse_gains — i had a parcel marked returned that arrived eleven days later. it happens 20:16
- taper_tess — winter shipping into a cold country risks freezing, which is a different problem from heat and gets discussed less 20:39
- triple_ag_tom — right so the parcel is the risk you accepted. that is worth remembering before it becomes a crisis 20:44
- taper_tess — 8 days to Canada with working tracking the whole way is at the good end of what i have seen, i think 21:46

signature requirements slow things down and do not obviously reduce loss
a liquid cold pack tells you it was above freezing, not that the vial cooked. lyophilised powder is robust
the same address every time is fine. a different address every time looks worse, not better
follow up if you query a missing parcel, be factual and patient. the good suppliers respond to that
handling fee is the killer
be patient with support
