[Question] New Zealand — has anyone got a straight answer on lane
New Zealand — has anyone got a straight answer on lane, and I want the answer with the reasoning attached rather than just the conclusion. Why this board reports by lane and not by supplier. Two members ordering from the same operation, in the same month, can see completely different transit times because they are on…
Four observations is not a distribution. The lane tables here only became predictive once individual routes had a dozen or more reports behind them.
Tracking number redacted. No exceptions on this one — it identifies both ends of a shipment.

the median is more useful than the fastest anybody ever got
Disagree. That is a customs hold, not a carrier delay, and lumping them together makes the lane table wrong.
customs clearance time is not carrier time and they get conflated
Asked ERP which lines they hold regionally before ordering and got a straight list back. Changed what I ordered and when.
Origin, destination, carrier and month?

This is why the lane table is organised the way it is. The supplier is not the unit.
What was the packaging like on arrival?

chidi_demir is right about regional stock. It changes the shape of the distribution, not just the mean.
Correction: that was clearance time, not carrier time. The lane table separates them for exactly this reason.
