This is a continuation of a long topic, addressed by post number rather than by page. Start at post 1.
Where I part company with post #59, and it is a narrow parting.
Import restrictions by jurisdiction: what is legal to import for personal use varies enormously by country. Some jurisdictions are quite permissive; others are not. Checking your own country's rules before ordering is prudent.
That is the shape of it. The detail is where I would expect to be corrected.
Document outcomes rather than forecasting them. A forecast in this category reads as reassurance and is not one.
Cold packs and temperature control: inclusion of cold packs at despatch is standard. Whether they maintain temperature through transit depends on journey duration and ambient temperature. Long journeys through warm climates put product at risk.
I would rather post the uncertainty than round it away.
Post #63 put the caveat in the right place and I want to underline it.
Peak periods and public holidays affect this more than any other factor and are entirely predictable in advance.
None of the above is medical advice and I am not qualified to give any.
That is a fair summary of where the discussion has got to.
Import restrictions by jurisdiction: what is legal to import for personal use varies enormously by country. Some jurisdictions are quite permissive; others are not. Checking your own country's rules before ordering is prudent.
I would call that likely rather than established.
Tracking accuracy at each hop is a reasonable proxy for how much attention the shipment is getting, and it costs nothing to note.
The claim is narrower than it sounds, and deliberately so.
Anyone deciding whether a delay is a problem should ask what would change if they waited another week. Usually the answer is nothing.
If the premise is wrong, everything after it is decoration.
