Highlights from this day
- VialBot — Assay note: TFC lot H-2814 reported at 96.8% of label content. 21:41
- birch_bloods — the transit table is pinned and built from what members actually reported, not from what suppliers quote 21:42
- amsterdam_aliquot — coming back after 13 months, has anything changed with Poland 22:28
- oli_orals — paying for a faster service does not speed up customs. it speeds up the legs either side of customs 23:19
winter shipping into a cold country risks freezing, which is a different problem from heat and gets discussed less
postal not courier
parcel is sitting at a port with no movement, is that customs or just a port
postal has been better than courier for me every single time. couriers are more thorough

no wording advice here

a seizure letter is usually the end of it. you have lost the parcel and that is almost always the whole consequence
reship policies vary enormously. CPC honoured one for me without being pushed, which is not universal
got a seizure letter, what actually happens next
does a signature requirement help or hurt
summer into a hot country is the risk. order in a cooler month if you have the choice
Reminder set. I will post here in 8 days.
anyone shipping into Germany in summer and what do you do about it
sorry to jump in i have lost 9 parcels in three years across a lot of orders. that is the actual rate for me, happy to be corrected
the parcel is the risk you accepted. that is worth remembering before it becomes a crisis
ok so how long is transit to New Zealand running at the moment
thats slower than usual
i had a parcel marked returned that arrived eleven days later. it happens, someone check my working
while im here update from 5 months ago: New Zealand transit has got slower, consistently, across four orders, take that with a pinch of salt
coming back after 13 months, has anything changed with Poland

a liquid cold pack tells you it was above freezing, not that the vial cooked. lyophilised powder is robust, ymmv
genuine question nobody here can tell you what will clear customs where you live and the mods stop that conversation quickly
the same address every time is fine. a different address every time looks worse, not better
reship policies vary enormously. QSC honoured one for me without being pushed, which is not universal
if you query a missing parcel, be factual and patient. the good suppliers respond to that
is it worth paying for a faster service or does customs eat the difference
22 days to Ireland with working tracking the whole way is at the good end of what i have seen
cold pack arrived warm after 15 days, does it matter
i declare it as what it is at a low value. we do not discuss wording beyond that here
