Posting this as a discussion rather than a claim: EMS — 23 things I got wrong before I got it right. A quoted lead time is a commitment you can evaluate. Measuring…

how do you actually verify EMS, and I want the answer with the reasoning attached rather than just the conclusion. Why this board reports by lane and not by supplier.…

Something I keep coming back to: packaging quality by vendor, scored on five things, 60 shipments. Posted my first lane report here without the month and got asked for…

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…

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…

EMS is not what most of this community thinks it is — with the reasoning, because a rule without a reason gets ignored. Packaging is assessable on arrival with no…

two weeks in a transit hub, then delivered fine. Making the case below, and I expect to lose some of it in the comments. Posted my first lane report here without the…

Question in the title, detail here: can we stop arguing about carrier until somebody posts a number. The rigid outer with no rattle in it was the thing that told me…

the lane table, updated: 41 lanes, median and 90th percentile. I have gone back and forth on this for months. Why this board reports by lane and not by supplier. Two…

does carrier actually matter or is it forum lore at this point. I am not trying to be the "source?" guy. I would just like a source. Median transit is the useful…

Thinking out loud about this: the DHL thing finally clicked for me and I want to write it down. Packaging is assessable on arrival with no equipment: rigid outer, no…

The title is the argument: customs held it 19 days and released it with no note. Here is the rest of it. Since the title puts numbers in the shop window: 19 days.…

help me understand DHL, I have read the wiki twice — that is what I am asking, and I have already read the wiki twice. Packaging is assessable on arrival with no…

Genuine question, and the title is the question: can we stop arguing about transit time until somebody posts a number. Ordered from the warehouse in Poland instead of…

Thinking out loud about this: reading lane threads from 2024 and half of it aged badly. Asked FGP which lines they hold regionally before ordering and got a straight…

The title is the argument: reading reship threads from 2024 and half of it aged badly. Here is the rest of it. A lane is an origin, a destination, a carrier and a…

Genuine question, and the title is the question: someone explain shipping to me like I have not read a paper in years. Posted my first lane report here without the…

lane is doing more work than we give it credit for, which sounds obvious until you try to state the evidence for it. Four observations is not a distribution. The lane…

proposal — a flair for carrier posts. Disagreement welcome, but bring a concrete alternative wording. Median transit is the useful statistic. The minimum is a story…

the mean transit time is useless, the 90th percentile is what melts your pack. Making the case below, and I expect to lose some of it in the comments. Ordered from the…

Short report. JEEP order #3 — Ireland, 21 days, no drama, receipts inside. Dates and lane below. Since the title puts numbers in the shop window: 21 days. Packaging is…

reship is doing more work than we give it credit for. Not a hot take, just something I have not seen said plainly here. Total transit decomposes into first mile,…

does DHL actually matter or is it forum lore at this point. I am not trying to be the "source?" guy. I would just like a source. Why this board reports by lane and not…

someone explain DHL to me like I have not read a paper in years — that is what I am asking, and I have already read the wiki twice. The regional stock question, and why…
