[Discussion] we are measuring DHL at the wrong time and calling it noise
I have had 16 orders now and I keep a table, so here is the honest summary rather than a vibe.
Material has been consistent. Communication has not. Shipping has varied by about 14 days on nominally the same lane, which matters more in summer than in February.
The independent number came back 96.8% against a claimed 99.1%, which I read as agreement rather than a discrepancy — inter-lab variance on this assay is a point or two either way and treating one lab as ground truth is how people end up in pointless arguments with vendors.
Batch number is in the comments. Ask if you want the method.
best — the order this archive was captured in
Removed a chain here. The rule is one line long and it is not negotiable.
Strongly agree. Customs adds unpredictable delay.
Customs clearance time included?
This is correct. Variance is the story.
Sweden to Sweden: CPC with 19 days is the average, variance is 18
The SGN lane used to be 23 days, now averaging 15. Carrier change or route congestion, unclear.
packaging quality matters on the 18-hour segments
customs clearance often adds 3 days, factor that in
Australia to Australia: TFC with 13 days is the average, variance is 40
Disagree. What you are describing is consistent with shipping, not with what you concluded.
This is correct. Variance is the story.
the reship outcome is data worth posting
Strongly agree. Customs adds unpredictable delay.
SWB the Netherlands to the Netherlands: 7 days with SWB shipping, 34 days with customs. No drama.
DHL is faster but EMS, EMS is slower but cheaper
