    Fast Postage

    I ordered a handful of tools from England on a Monday. The date on the consignment note has them posted on Wednesday, and I got them the following Wednesday. Seven days, and this was with Fedex.

    Has anyone else got stuff this fast from UK? Most other stuff I have got from UK have taken anything from 14 to 28 days.

    Dave.

    I POST loads of gear to the UK, Europe, and the USA and that is usually delivered within the week.

    How is this though, I posted a large box of Christmas goodies to my relos in Victoria. I sent them from the Gold Coast on Thursday and were delivered at 2pm TODAY Sunday.

    Thats, good service for Australia Post!

    I'm impressed. !
    Best I've had was from the US, bought a (Aircraft Flight Sim) Saitek Flight Yoke with throttles pod. (Hundreds less than buying locally...)

    Paid around $25 for a US Post Office Flat Rate box, my account was debited one day after ordering, and it arrived on my doorstep 7 days later.

    The postal service both ways seems to be pretty quick at the moment. I posted presents back to UK a couple of weeks ago on the Wednesday, all were received on the Saturday. Same for stuff coming to us, it's all taken less than 5 days.

    Must be the Christmas staffing increases

    Opposite to SLOw

    Hi All

    Best time I have received anything in, was from Turner engineering ( UK ), ordered Friday mid afternoon, received before 10Am Monday.
    Just under a grands worth, including freight and the parcel was reasonably heavy, as it also contained a 300 TDi head assembly.

    The worst time, is , I am still waiting over 12 months for parts from one company that sells on eBee, I told them in the end, if they do send the parts, they will get paid, it seems that their freight service is to Australia, but doesn't extend to Tasmania.
    I have been refunded by Pypl.

    .

    And if I post something from Warragul to Moe, it goes to Melbourne, back to Morwell then to Moe. I've seen mail take 6 working days to travel 32 Kilometers while actually doing around 250 Kilometers 2 Mail Centers and 2 Post Offices.
