[PSA] EMS is not what most of this community thinks it is
Been lurking in c/customs for about 2 months and finally have something worth posting.
Short version: week 96, 2.4mg, and transit time is the bit I still cannot get a straight answer on. I have read the wiki, I have read the last 23 threads, and the answers split roughly down the middle.
What I actually want to know is whether the people saying it does not matter have measured it, or whether it is just repeated confidently. Happy to be told I am overthinking this — I probably am — but I would rather overthink it now than at week 90.
best — the order this archive was captured in
Dead space in the needle hub holds a small but non-trivial volume. On low-volume draws that can be several units.
The JEEP lane used to be 8 days, now averaging 24. Carrier change or route congestion, unclear.
the lane table is community-maintained, packaging changes
transit time variance is the story, not the average
customs clearance often adds 22 days, factor that in
Ireland to Ireland: QST with 23 days is the average, variance is 12
No. This is the kind of confident post that gets copied into a screenshot and repeated for years. Where is the evidence.
No.
Counter-anecdote: opposite result, same dose. Which mostly tells us the variance is huge.
customs clearance often adds 2 days, factor that in
the lane table is community-maintained, lane changes
Canada to Canada: QYB with 15 days is the average, variance is 39
No.
Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 36 weeks to accept.
Yeah, the lane data is more useful than single reports.
Yeah, the lane data is more useful than single reports.
Origin to destination?
Origin to destination?
Disagree on that part. 97.2% and 97.4% on the same vial is normal.
Yeah, the lane data is more useful than single reports.
Water content matters more than people think. If a vial is carrying residual moisture, your "10mg" is not 10mg of peptide.
packaging quality matters on the 9-hour segments
Yeah, the lane data is more useful than single reports.
DHL is faster but EMS, EMS is slower but cheaper
lane reports need origin, destination, carrier, actual transit days
transit time variance is the story, not the average
Tracking number removed. It identifies both ends of a shipment.
Tracking number removed.
Adding to this: transit time is doing more work than the comment implies.
