That's the gist Matt - in the time K-Astec sent the rings from Fukuoka, Japan to here, EMS, it took 4 days, and was sent Express/EMS for $15 AUS.
Try sending ANY parcel within the Aus Post network for $15, let alone Express, and an Express that actually WORKS.
Last letter I sent from here to Kingaroy - a 300km trip, took 4 days. A parcel back from Kingaroy full of Gainsborough lock barrels took 9. I am sure it was checked first to see if it was worth pinching.
