I too have purchased car parts and astro gear from various parts of the US and have watched the tracking going through different postal centers on the way to Oz, only to disappear from the radar altogether in Oz. Parcels seem to arrive in Sydney, go in circles there for several days then are delivered followed by a email to say that the parcel will be delivered that day, (after it was delivered). From the time of purchase in the US usually takes 4 days to arrive in Oz, then ?. Have had parts delivered 5 days after being posted from 15km away. Also had Express Paid business letters from Brisbane ( supposed to be overnight) take 3 weeks to deliver.
Know wonder that Auspost s going broke.
Cheers Keith
