Application - Size, Courier, and Packaging

[Mapleson]

Hi all,

I'm a bit bored of waiting, and I enjoy playing with numbers. There has been some debate over the question if a smaller package is preferable (faster processing) or a bigger one (more complete information, less likely for supplemental document request). I've decided to have a run at the problem out of curiosity, but I need your help.

Application month/year: (I can look up supplemental data of the spreadsheets)
Application received: DD/MM/YY
AOR: DD/MM/YY
Application dimensions: Length, width, height
Application weight: kg or lbs.
Application page count: page count (approximate, if you remember. just a validation of the weight)
Application packaging type: homemade or store bought
Application courier: UPS, FedEx, CanadaPost, DHL, etc.
Application mailing type: Regular mail (PO Box) or courier (street address)
Other information: Anything else you feel might speed you up or slow you down (for example many people received AOR/SA long before receiving their notification)

You can either post here or on my spreadsheet.

I wish I could help, but I don't really know the size of my package.
It was sent in a small box with 2 kilos (Xpress Post).

I just asked my wife, who sent the package and filled the spreadsheet.
