All,, the silly season is upon us...

I had some polarising fishing sunnies on order from Brisvegas. Ordered
them yesterday (wed) at 10.00am, No express post available. I was told
they may be delivered by 11th December. Turned up this morning. !!

On the other side of the coin, I ordered a 1600va UPS from Brisbane, to
supplement my new NNN fibre to the home setup*, and Aus Post "express
post" took 5days, and delivered on Snday, after being tld it would be
delivered on Friday, and then Monday... Too bad if your'e siting at home
waiting for delivery...

Yeah, it can be hit and miss.

I've recently been getting some magazines from the UK, and while UK post
can be ridiculously expensive it can be reasonably quick. Sometimes
quicker than what I can get stuff from the other side of the country.

I had a large package delivered from the UK. Postage was under $30 ($27
from memory) so I expected the slow boat. Nope, ordered on Friday and
arrived the following Wednesday.

Some orders from China are the same but orders ex-east can take two weeks.

Well, Aus Post does it yet again.

Order was split in two, as one BCF store didnt have the rod I was after.

So one package is coming via Startrak, which turned up on Bro's doorstep
yesterday.

The other, which has 2 reels and a rod, is carried by Auspost. They
picked the package up from BCF Malaga, which is about 15-20 mins drive
from Bro's house on Tuesday, and suggested it be be delivered Wednesday
or Thursday. As of now, friday arvo, they are too busy to deliver it.
Hope they pull their finger out, as I expect to use it in a weeks time.

I sometimes wonder if its Aust Post's fault or the shipper telling porkies.
We order our Nespresso coffee online to be delivered by Aust Post, in a
couple of years of ordering every 1-2 months the longest its taken was 3
days from order to delivery, frequently its next day.
If that happens with one shipper why do others take much longer?
Does Nespresso get priority service or do some shippers say things have
been shipped when they haven't?
It all seems to be a big mystery:-)
