One scope departed Canberra on Tuesday and arrived in perfect condition in Queensland in less that 48hrs. I thought this was excellent !!

The second TSA120 was posted in Canberra on Monday and arrived in Northern NSW this morning, again in less that 48hrs and in perfect condition..

A great result, saving each buyer about $150 in freight/insurance ....

I did however use up a couple of kilometres of bubble wrap, the only padding that actually absorbs impacts without transmitting them to the fragile contents...
I find if you pay for the insurance with auspost its got more chance of getting somewhere quickly (because no one likes a claim) and in one piece. Costs Tuppence and you get a better outcome in my experience.

Lewis. Don't let me eat my words...the package is due with you tomorrow!
