HJ quoted 18 days and delivered in 17 and i want to talk about why that is remarkable
That is the entire event. They said eighteen days. It took seventeen. I want to talk about why this feels remarkable, because it should not. Eleven of twelve member order timelines in the log fell inside HJ's quoted window. Almost nobody else in this directory clears that bar, and the reason is not incompetence — it…
10 of 11 in the audit I ran, close enough. And your point about incentives is the interesting one.
Quoting honestly is competitively punished. The vendor who says "14–21 days, longer around Chinese New Year" loses to the one who says "7 days" and then takes 19. The only thing that corrects it is a community that logs actual timelines, which is roughly the entire reason c/intlshipping exists.
yeah. the lane table is a public good and i did not appreciate that until i needed it.
41 lanes, 900-odd data points, and the single most requested addition is a "quoted vs actual" column. adding it this month.
put the 90th percentile in it too. the median flatters everyone.
median, p90 and quoted. three columns. fine.
this is the happiest i have been on this site in months
