I didn’t find a paper from 07, and I don’t mention a paper from 2007 - all the Jackson quotes are from those two papers - but if there is one please send it to me! I tried to be as thorough as possible but obviously it’s easy to miss stuff.

Are you referring to a re-published version of the paper perhaps?

The company in question told me this during a meeting, so there's no reference for it. But it's an experiement I'd love to do just to see what effect it had! Sadly, I've yet to find a company that would let me tinker with their processes in such a way... Nia, Diolch yn fawr iawn!

I enjoyed your article very much; I've been looking at this subject too and have read the work of Dr. Jackson with interest. In your article you say that "one company delayed delivery by five minutes, but had so many complaints that they had to revert to instantaneous delivery". Do you have a reference for this?
