from two years of transit logs i log the route, the carrier, every scan and the total, and after two years the pattern is obvious, not advice, just what turned up

the carrier matters more than the origin in my logs, by a fairly clear margin

SA

phase change packs hold longer than gel packs and cost a little more, and it shows on arrival, first scan is the hub

RR

i put a logger in one parcel and the trace was worth more than every anecdote in this channel including mine

longest one yet i have lost 3 parcels in three years across a lot of orders. that is the actual rate for me, carrier matters more than sender

shipping question postal has been better than courier for me every single time. couriers are more thorough, holidays at both ends
