That's about 90 km away for me.
And then, we get the Australia factor. It has taken 4 days to get from one facility to another somewhere in Brisbane and then another 5 days I don't know where.

In summary: thus far, it has taken longer to travel that last 90 km than it did to travel from Missouri to Brisbane. And it still isn't here.

Go figure!!

Peter, there is a big difference between USPS International and USPS International Priority. If your given a choice, pick Priority.
