Aliexpress - standard postage

Hello,

I recently got an eyepiece from Aliexpress, order 29th of Feb expected in next Monday/Tuesday 8/9th of Feb. (Its already in town but I missed the post out of Mitchel today) - Aliexpress vendor expected 23-26th of Feb for delivery.

Thought that was pretty impressive from China to Canberra.

Bah Humbug!

Could have been 29th of Jan I suppose...


Ps.
Just a post to say postage is running surprisingly well at this moment, I nearly had the item delivered inside of 10 days on a free post/free return item from China.

The other thing is that with Chinese New Year happening there are some stores that have good reductions on atm. Except for Liantu which refuse to budge on the APM Ultra Flat Field pricing still!!! Gosh darn it.

Np. If people charged me for laughing at my expense I'd be broke a long time ago though...

Post from mainland China (not Aliexpress) for my business here in Western NSW was usually 21-28 days. If you opt for a slightly more expensive AU Direct Mail option ($2 avge more), they have been coming at 11-14 days, some even in the letterbox after 10 only days.

BUT! That's when they get it right.

When they get it wrong, 40 days, if ever at all. It's an unregistered lottery.

I noticed that some aliexpress shops have australian warehouses. I ordered a cheap 3d filament from them a week back and they arrived within a week.
