My experience for OS purchases:

China/Asia: nothing under 20 days regardless of what they say.
UK:5-14 days
USA: 10 - 20 days.

Express means nothing.

For me:
China/Asia 10-25 days
UK 2-14 days
US 2-30 days (a parcel from Amazon that took a month, versus a delivery from e-shocks that arrived 48 hours after ordering)

Star Track Toowoomba to Brisbane.

Brisbane to Nambour where they tell me they decided not to courier anymore and put it in Aus post.
Now the 13th and still havnt got it

i for obvious reasons order all my parts from overseas and generally the uk.

i have used a well known place near lincoln for years and never had one issue. ease of use of the website is also good.

have used a place in sydney too, ---kraft, they were very good too and priced very well.

the uk has the advantage of choice, it's just amazing but the guys near lincoln do a great job and if i have to phone, very helpful.

Arrived at The PO today.

UK sounds good: - My experience for an OZ purchase, namely a refrigerator

Perth wholesale warehouse to Perth retail warehouse 10 days

Perth retail warehouse to my house 3 days.

And this was after making express delivery a condition of sale. Original delivery estimate was 3 weeks
