[Discussion] the DHL advice in here is 3 years out of date
Thinking out loud about this: the DHL advice in here is 3 years out of date. 3 years — those are the numbers, and they are the ones I am willing to defend. A lane is an origin, a destination, a carrier and a season. Change any one and the distribution changes, which is why supplier-level shipping averages are close…
Four observations is not a distribution. The lane tables here only became predictive once individual routes had a dozen or more reports behind them.
This. A quoted lead time that holds is worth more than a fast one that does not.
Asked for the month rather than removing. Without it the report cannot be compared to anything.
Asked GL Biochem which lines they hold regionally before ordering and got a straight list back. Changed what I ordered and when.
What lead time were you quoted at checkout?
Origin, destination, carrier and month?
