[Lane Report] Tianjin → Canada, 14 days, two of three vials cracked
Tianjin → Canada, 14 days, two of three vials cracked. I have gone back and forth on this for months. 14 days — those are the numbers, and they are the ones I am willing to defend. Four observations is not a distribution. The lane tables here only became predictive once individual routes had a dozen or more reports…
Ordered from the warehouse in Ireland instead of origin and the whole customs question disappeared. 14 days, door to door.
Split one order across two months on purpose to compare summer and winter. Four days apart, same carrier, same route.
two identical orders a week apart is the cheapest experiment available
Small fix — shipped from the regional warehouse, not from origin, which is why the number looks unusual.
rigid outer packaging is the cheapest quality signal there is
Where did the time actually go — international leg, clearance, or last mile?
Ordered from the warehouse in Ireland instead of origin and the whole customs question disappeared.
Disagreeing with this bit: a single slow shipment does not move a lane, it joins the distribution.
I would not read a single slow shipment as a lane change. Post it and let the median move if it is real.
Push back: comparing a July transit with a February one on the same lane is not a comparison.
