a port stall is not the same as a customs hold and the tracking language usually distinguishes them

Highlights from this day
- evidence_or_not — reship policies vary enormously. SSA honoured one for me without being pushed, which is not universal 12:26
- myrrh_measures — does Homopeptide actually honour a reship or is it decorative 15:36
- underfill_uma — if you query a missing parcel, be factual and patient. the good suppliers respond to that the transit table is pinned and built from what members actually reported,… 15:54
unrelated but i have lost 6 parcels in three years across a lot of orders. that is the actual rate for me
the transit table is pinned and built from what members actually reported, not from what suppliers quote
summer into a hot country is the risk. order in a cooler month if you have the choice
split shipments arriving weeks apart is normal and is usually a stock thing, not a customs thing
[edited]follow up signature requirements slow things down and do not obviously reduce loss
powder is robust

what does the room consider a normal transit time now
*PeptideMeter not the other one
winter shipping into a cold country risks freezing, which is a different problem from heat and gets discussed less
for the archive ports do that
postal not courier
thats the end of it
the parcel is the risk you accepted. that is worth remembering before it becomes a crisis
nobody here can tell you what will clear customs where you live and the mods stop that conversation quickly, someone check my working
i declare it as what it is at a low value. we do not discuss wording beyond that here
how long is transit to the UK running at the moment
a seizure letter is usually the end of it. you have lost the parcel and that is almost always the whole consequence, thats just me
no wording advice here
ask about reship
d0 label created
d2 accepted, origin
d4 departed origin
d6 in transit
d6-16 nothing at all
d17 arrived destination country
d19 customs cleared
d21 delivereda liquid cold pack tells you it was above freezing, not that the vial cooked. lyophilised powder is robust
coming back after 2 months, has anything changed with Japan
customs charge came to €38, is that normal for Australia
does Homopeptide actually honour a reship or is it decorative

the same address every time is fine. a different address every time looks worse, not better
update from 1 months ago: Poland transit has got slower, consistently, across four orders
signature requirements slow things down and do not obviously reduce loss
postal has been better than courier for me every single time. couriers are more thorough
has anyone had a parcel arrive after being marked as returned
i declare it as what it is at a low value. we do not discuss wording beyond that here
tracking going dark for a week or ten days at a port is common and resolves on its own most of the time
