Pale Kerrigan and friends send photo evidence that dispatch HQL-776 has indeed been received; 'the final pack 😎' to be prepared for departure the following day

YTO Express' automated tracking reveals that the dispatch has already arrived to its destination and been signed off for, but slow-courier band Pale Kerrigan are actually busy playing the final gig of their tour in China; dispatch HQL-775 in temporary limbo, whereabouts uncertain.

2025-10-02,17:00-19:00:
While Display Distribute makes concerted effort not to work with traditional postal or courier services, the rare serendipity of Aotearoa-bound slow-couriers is so exciting that another mini-exception is made, and a YTO Express courier is booked to pick up the Kirin beer box of four separately bound packages for dispatch HQL-775; the pick-up goes slightly awry, however, and does not get tossed into the delivery mobile until after 19:00; LIGHT LOGISTICIANS arrive late to dinner, dispatch HQL-775/YT2534037251XXX successfully retrieved and headed to Chengdu

RECEIVER UPDATE:
Kia ora,

I’m glad to hear of Ragasa’s passing.

I am happy with the human slow-couriering. It will be a first for our institution and may prepare us for a post-austerity future. I would however like an emailed receipt after the payment goes through.

There are many reasons for Dunedin’s supremacy of music. In the days of high social welfare benefits, it became a destination for people seeking low-rent central-city living. Due to poor construction and a lack of insulation, many people could only heat one room at a time. To avoid freezing to death, they would start bands with their flatmates. The legacy of the 19th century gold rush had left the city centre with many large empty buildings and warehouses, which could be used for warehouse parties, venues, and taverns. This created a “music infrastructure”. There is also a long history of Scottish folk music, Kai Tahu waiata, and improvisation in the population.

Ngā mihi nui,
H

Contact is established with new courier recruits Pale Kerrigan, who should have moved on from original point of coincidence in Guangzhou by now but are stuck a few extra days because of super typhoon Ragasa; while Pale Kerrigan loves the idea of a courier mission, for the same wet reasons and dispatch pick-up is unable to be arranged and a covert cheating by speed-courier is arranged to arrive in Chengdu before Pale Kerrigan's departure on 7 October

LIGHT LOGISTICIAN REPLY:
What a coincidence! I just hung out with a group of kiwis two days ago, a couple of bands passing through town on tour. This makes us very excited for the possibility that we could arrange for them to hand courier them back to New Zealand.

I'm very sorry you couldn't get the order through on our website! We've been doing some updates lately, and things are a bit awry. Or maybe it's the typhoon.

Would you mind to let me know where you got stuck? It would be great for us to figure out where all the kinks are. But checking through your list, it looks like we don't have everything, I think there might only be one copy of _mình ii_ left, and only one of _In Darkness_.

Unfortunately for us being really terrible at business, we have so many new books that we'd like to share with you but never enough time to put them online. Maybe I can just recommend the minimum, another from Reliable Copy called _Urban Kitsch_, and then another from Reading Sideways Press called _Volcano News_. Just let me know if they interest you and we can put together a final invoice and do it by PayPal, yes.

I will be in touch with new kiwi friends to see if they might be able to carry books back home, let me know in the meantime!

Thank you and we're super happy to join the Wellington Public Library system, just wondering why you take 2 copies of each?

long time no see!
