the backlog, the thaw, and a depot that finally answered

Everything arrived at once, in the wrong order, into the end of a Canadian winter. The shipping channel spent a fortnight reconciling parcels with orders and one member spent it on the phone to a depot that had been holding a package for five weeks. It was found. That happens about as often as it does not.

• A parcel held for five weeks at a depot was recovered after the member asked in person, which is worth knowing and not worth relying on.
• The February column in the transit table now has three years of figures and the pattern is boringly consistent.
• Late-winter freezing was still a live risk in three provinces while members in Australia were still avoiding heat, in the same conversation.
• GGPeps cleared its own backlog faster than its revised quote, which the channel logged as a data point rather than a verdict.
• customs_owl noted that the room reported figures and the supplier quoted figures have converged over three years, which is the useful finding.
