Having not served a LIGHT LOGISTICS route in some time, courier Ms. PORTABLE is slowed down by all the sights along the way (see photos), so she arrives quite a bit later to the receiver's office than the scheduled appointment time, and the receiver is the only one left working in the big space; PORTABLE feels guilty that her late delivery has resulted in O/T! They chat for some minutes, and the receiver explains that the selection of Display Distribute publications will be joining a mobile library project to travel Nepal in autumn.

讀者-收件人更新：「謝謝通知！剛付好郵費了。因為現在以失業狀態，有這些書看會讓我安寧一下⋯⋯可惜，新加坡的PayPal沒有發給朋友的選擇，所以如果他們收你手續費不用不好意思，跟我說一下我可以補一下差價還再加一點小費。不好意思給妳帶來不便！除了跟香港表示團結，有任何其它我可以幫忙的儘管跟我說！」
READER-RECEIVER UPDATE：Thanks for the update! I have just paid the amount to you. As I am currently unemployed these readings will keep my soul at peace… Unfortunately Singapore PayPal does not have option for sending to a friend. I don’t know why either! That said, sellers have not told me before that they get charged. I don’t want to assume that may happen to you, so if you get an amount taken off, please do not be shy to write to me again, I will top up and with tip, no trouble at all. I apologise for the inconvenience. Let me know what else I can do for you in the meantime, as well as showing solidarity for HK beyond sharing content!

收件人-讀者：「你好！我下單的時候還未明白『後勤』慢遞（那麼多書實在太興奮了⋯⋯），現在才了解了也開始瘋狂地追看那麼可愛的物流詳情。Anyway，想跟你聯絡因為到7月13日那一週的時候我會按照我的性別身分認同正式地改名啦，嘢！是不是因該現在可以在我的訂單上改名？會影響慢遞的效率嗎？」
READER-RECEIVER MESSAGE：Hello! When I made my order i did not yet understand LIGHT LOGISTICS (sorry I got so excited by all the books…), but now I do and I have been obsessed with reading all the cute updates. Anyway, I am reaching out because come the week of 13th July I will finally be legally changing my name to suit my gender identity. Hooray! That said, should I update my name now anyway? Would it matter in terms of the efficiency of LIGHT LOGISTICS?

你好S，郵局充滿阿姨和叔叔們來申請政府的一萬蚊現金發放——你買的小誌寄好啦，這次郵局的工作人員也給了更樂觀的信息，郵寄的時間可能不用之前說的三個月，40天左右差不多！感謝你的耐心，也謝謝分享你正在讀的書；《快樂鬥爭性》我最近也聽說了，它提及的微妙情動力和充滿氣的行動關係還是很重要的⋯⋯
Dear S, Just back from a post office filled with aunties and uncles trying to claim their HK$10,000 government cash payout. Today the numbers they gave me were more positive, approximately 40 days instead of three months! I've added an extra Black Book Assembly print for you, hope you'll receive it healthy and due time. Thank you for your patience, and nice to hear about your reading list! I read about Joyful Militancy a short time ago, and the tricky place between affective relations and rightfully frustrated change that it addresses is so important.

Upon courier Ms. PORTABLE's arrival at the delivery address, the receiver comes downstairs and the two have a streetside chat about ongoing travel restrictions, being able to work from home and a potential studio visit to the Tuen Mun Relay Centre. Courier Ms. PORTABLE also likes the receiver's shoes

慢遞員何子小姐再來一次派送緩件HQL-366，這次在收件人的樓下頂開著門聊了一下：收件人最近網上購買了好多書，都忘記這是哪一本
Courier Ms. PORTABLE tries again approximately one week later and has a door propped, standing conversation with the receiver, who explains that she has recently been ordering many books online and didn't even remember this particular purchase
2020-03-21，大概 21:30：
《八家》出版社收到香港的訂單請了「後勤」人肉服務來幫忙派送，慢遞員何子就順手到了旺角送書，可是她又沒提前預約，到了旺角的地址發現了八樓有好幾個單位；收件沒接電話，派送失敗
At the request of the publisher of Bajia, LIGHT LOGISTICS logistician PORTABLE is deployed for an intercity delivery to a reader in Mongkok; quite unprofessionally she arrives without notice beforehand only to find multiple flats on the listed 8th floor building, and with no answer on the telephone, dispatch delivery is unsuccessful

上次送HQL-356的時候，露出了幾本沒貨的出版物；因為第一期《流泥》已經賣光了，最近入庫的第五期《流泥》要給收件人補充，她很包容地感謝慢遞員何子還交換了五片口罩；她們最近因為疫情沒什麼事乾就在收件人家聊了三個小時，話題包括空出時間做的事、藝術刊物和如何在隔離中在一盤樓裡用一台二手鋼琴建立街坊關係
As promised to the receiver of order WC-3844, a late delivery of Concrete Flux #05 replaces her order of #01, which is completely sold out. In thanks for her understanding and patience, Display Distribute includes a couple of bonus publications, and the Yaumatei receiver is thankfully very appreciative, even gifting courier Ms. PORTABLE with five face masks in return for her efforts; with free time in light of the great COVID-19 slow-down, they have a three-hour conversation on other things to occupy home-time with, art periodical reading, and community making with a secondhand piano in the flat

因為世界各地的書愛好者都來到香港的Booked藝術書展，慢遞員Jointly Rayon的壓力大，她同時帶了三包緩件到她值班的攤位，一個一個交接，可是到了HQL-355她都有一點暈了，誤會把HQL-359給了355的收件人；問題解決了之後，HQL-359的收件人第二天很開心收到藝術家詩人楊立才作的攝影書
With a heavy-duty triple dispatch catching the winds of booklovers at the Booked Art Book Fair, courier Ms. Jointly Rayon gets a bit confused and mistakenly hands off dispatch HQL-359 to the receiver of HQL-355, but thankfully a quick check-up clarifies the situation, and the receiver is able to pick up his photo book the following day
