May be what you bought was not in stock and they are drop shipping it all over the world to get the pieces put on it to make it whole.Quote:

Parcel arrived in Matravile Sydney over the weekend for customs clearance , and picked up this morning from the local Rural Startrack Express depot this morning at 0830 . Cant complain as it was Fedex Economy, 1/11 Dep Uk and arrive 8/11 Local .
I think they must all have their good & bad runs.
Around this time last year, I ordered a plug & cable (VW equivalent of IID Tool / Nanocom) for my young bloke's Amarok from the US. Could have got the same thing from Sydney or Brisbane, but at nearly double the price. ;) It came by Fedex, and was here in about four days from ordering from memory. I only paid for the items, and was told that I would be billed separately by Fedex for the freight. So far (and it's been 12 months now) - I have not heard anything further from Fedex or anyone else.
I have purchased gear from both the States and the UK on numerous occasions, and have generally been very pleased with the delivery times - usually much faster than delivery of items purchased within Australia.
But - I just received a parcel from Duckworths in the UK this morning. According to the stamp, it was posted on the 18th of last month - so it's taken 21 days to get here. Was shipped via Royal Mail / Australia Post, and is stamped by Royal Mail as "Priority Handling & Registered Delivery".
Delivery time on this one hasn't bothered me, as I was not in an urgent rush for the items in any case - but just goes to show the differences in delivery times that you can experience. :D
Have to say that I'm very happy with the service from Duckworths. Goods were ordered, paid for and shipped all on the same day, with only one e-mail and a brief telephone conversation to confirm exactly what I was ordering. :)
Mine has finally arrived in AU. Supposed to be delivered tomorrow. Shipped on 1/11
