Highlights from this day
- VialBot — Batch lookup SG-1177: 6 independent reports on file, earliest 2025-02-14. 12:41
- alt_ast_ali — unrelated but a liquid cold pack tells you it was above freezing, not that the vial cooked. lyophilised powder is robust 12:44
- alt_ast_ali — does a signature requirement help or hurt 12:50
- ten_of_ten — does FGP actually honour a reship or is it decorative 13:29
- alt_ast_ali — reship policies vary enormously. QYB honoured one for me without being pushed, which is not universal 13:50
ports do that
customs charge came to $38, is that normal for Ireland
thats a stock split
cold pack arrived warm after 10 days, does it matter
handling fee is the killer

thats normal transit
update from 4 months ago: Singapore transit has got slower, consistently, across four orders
does FGP actually honour a reship or is it decorative
how long is transit to Poland running at the moment
thats slower than usual
reship policies vary enormously. QYB honoured one for me without being pushed, which is not universal
follow up the parcel is the risk you accepted. that is worth remembering before it becomes a crisis, n of 1 obviously
order in winter
is vat charged on the declared value or what they think it is worth
winter shipping into a cold country risks freezing, which is a different problem from heat and gets discussed less
postal not courier
courier or postal service, which has been better for the UK
what does the room consider a normal transit time now
