[Lane Report] Guangzhou → Australia, 11 days, ice pack gone but powder intact
Guangzhou → Australia, 11 days, ice pack gone but powder intact. I have gone back and forth on this for months. The numbers the title promised, since a headline without them is worthless: 11 days. Everything below is context for those. Four observations is not a distribution. The lane tables here only became…
Same. SSA quoted 11 days on my lane and it landed at 13, which is exactly what you want from a quote.
Yes — regional stock is the single biggest variable and it barely gets mentioned outside this board.
Where did the time actually go — international leg, clearance, or last mile?
That is a packaging observation, not a transit observation. Worth posting, worth separating.

Agreed on rigid packaging. It costs the shipper almost nothing and it predicts a lot about the rest of the operation.
Yes — median rather than best case. The fastest anybody ever got is not a plan.
a lane with four reports is not yet a lane
Push back: comparing a July transit with a February one on the same lane is not a comparison.
Small fix — shipped from the regional warehouse, not from origin, which is why the number looks unusual.
I would not read a single slow shipment as a lane change. Post it and let the median move if it is real.
Was it shipped from a regional warehouse or from origin?
