^^^That is pretty good. I tried to buy some parts from Japan yesterday and apparently the Japan-Post company hasnt been sending parcel to Australia during covid??? According to the UK ebay seller I was trying to buy something off.
Only option is to use Fedex at the cost of 70 GBP?..item itself is only 50 GBP..grr

I send or receive parcels on a daily basis, as a example, on the 15th Aug I sent 2 large parcels off, 1 to Queensland standard post, it took 11 days, then on the same day I sent 1 to Scotland standard post, it took 4 days.
The UK system seems to be a lot faster than our Aus post system, a few years ago I sent some items in the largest box they allow home to Aus from Bath in the UK, the tracking showed it was in Western Australia 2 days after I posted it, but my son didnt receive it until 14 days later I often order parts from China on a Friday night and have them delivered on the Monday morning with DHL Express, but have had a few go via Mars or somewhere and take up to a week. I would say Australia post is most of our problem here as it can go through quite quick or it can just sit in a depot for a week before it moves. |

International parcel post ex-EU/UK seems to have lifted its game the last month or so.
UK: Postmarked 30th December, received 11th January EU: Postmarked 3rd January, received 16th January (Riga, which has typically been a “slow” source in my experience. Plus another from same city, different vendor, one day later in posting but same date delivery.) |

i posted a ute seat with handbrake [attached] to WA last december ..... about a month or two later it was then 'lost' either in Welshpool or after leaving there. after another month or two .. it was recieved back here
 i was given a few excuses about what happened but recieved a one off payment for the 'lost' seat & cost of posting it. this time i sent it on the 6th of this month ..... the guy finally recieved it on the 24th .. of this month  the differance between sending the item ........... 1st time was 'normal' insurance [$100] & nothing else, this time was double insurance & to be signed for. think next time i send anything similar . . . . . . . signature required....
