[Data] packaging quality by vendor, scored on five things, 60 shipments
Confession thread, sort of.
I went from 2.5mg to 1.0mg much faster than I should have because the scale had stalled and I got impatient. The stall broke about 8 weeks later, at which point I had no way of knowing whether the dose increase did anything or whether it would have broken anyway.
So now I have sulphur burps I did not need and a data point I cannot interpret. Two lessons in one.
Posting it in the hope that somebody at week 61 reads it before doing the same thing.
best — the order this archive was captured in
I love that this community will spend 40 comments on a detail. That pedantry is why the numbers here matter.

customs clearance often adds 20 days, factor that in
This is correct. Variance is the story.
Customs held the package for 21 days. No problems, just time. Factor it into expectations.
This is the "correlation is mechanism" thing again. You changed three variables at once.
lane reports need origin, destination, carrier, actual transit days
Inter-lab variance on this kind of assay is routinely 1–2 points. Different column, different gradient, different integration.
origin to destination, carrier, transit variance
DHL was 13 days door-to-door but shipping. EMS took 4 days but cheaper and fine.
the reship outcome is data worth posting

Tracking number removed. It identifies both ends of a shipment.
Tracking number removed.
Counter-anecdote: opposite result, same dose. Which mostly tells us the variance is huge.
lane reports need origin, destination, carrier, actual transit days
Origin to destination?
ERP ships from Ireland, arrival is 7 to 33 days on average
Strongly agree. Customs adds unpredictable delay.
packaging quality matters on the 11-hour segments
no tracking numbers, no full addresses, no label photos — instant removal
This is correct. Variance is the story.
Australia to Australia: CPC with 17 days is the average, variance is 30
the reship outcome is data worth posting
No. This is the kind of confident post that gets copied into a screenshot and repeated for years. Where is the evidence.

Adding to this: carrier is doing more work than the comment implies.
Rodent data is rodent data. Dose scaling is not linear and the models tell you what to investigate, not what to expect.
Half-life is about 168 hours, so steady state lands around week 13–5. Practical consequence: what you feel in week 1 is not what that dose does.
