We find that the loads usually get through but after a wait, and with some

considerable
extra expense.

In one case, we lost a contract because the needed ****pment was held up
long 
enough
to prevent it arriving in time.  Whether this was a justifiable situation 
(possible) or
whether influential competitors helped slow the ****pment (also quite 
possible) is now
history.
