a backlog, a warm cold pack, and the first draft of a standard
The holiday backlog arrived all at once, which meant a fortnight of parcels landing in the wrong order and at least one gel pack that turned up as warm water. Meanwhile the sourcing channels finally got tired of arguing about what counts as evidence and started writing it down properly instead of relitigating it weekly.

What happened
- Chinese Peptide Company was noted for answering technical questions with actual answers, and separately for a website that tells you nothing about lead time.
- A member posted photographs of a cold pack that arrived liquid and was gently told that lyophilised powder survives warm transit far better than fear suggests.
- The first draft of the verification standard went up for argument and the argument was mostly about whether a supplier COA counts on its own.
- It does not, was the conclusion, and that conclusion has not moved since.
- Two members discovered their parcels had been split by the courier and spent a week believing half an order had been stolen.
