help me understand DHL, I have read the wiki twice
help me understand DHL, I have read the wiki twice — that is what I am asking, and I have already read the wiki twice. Packaging is assessable on arrival with no equipment: rigid outer, no movement inside, the cold element sized to the transit rather than to the box. Four observations is not a distribution. The lane…
Median transit is the useful statistic. The minimum is a story about one shipment and the mean is dragged around by a single hold.
Asked WXT which lines they hold regionally before ordering and got a straight list back. Changed what I ordered and when.

Small fix — shipped from the regional warehouse, not from origin, which is why the number looks unusual.
Correction: that was clearance time, not carrier time. The lane table separates them for exactly this reason.
Same. SGN quoted 6 days on my lane and it landed at 16, which is exactly what you want from a quote.
Yes — median rather than best case. The fastest anybody ever got is not a plan.
Same.
gradient_goblin is right about regional stock. It changes the shape of the distribution, not just the mean.
6 days on a lane quoted at 18 is the shape you want
Yes — regional stock is the single biggest variable and it barely gets mentioned outside this board.
