DHL are fantastic. I recently ordered some Pentax XW eyepieces from Amazon Japan and within 2 1/2 days they went from Japan to Sydney and finally up to their depot in Brisbane. They then changed hands to Australia Post for the short distance remaining of the trip, which ended up taking twice as long as it had for DHL to get it to them in the first place. In fact, they had sat in the Australia Post facility for 3 days before even moving. Shocking!

An update on my DGM filter, it has finally been processed through the USPS facility in San Francisco, which has taken a little over 48 hours. Total time since it was shipped? 16 days. Hopefully soon it will make it to the runway...
