Amazon Au is pretty good, and if your a Prime member their delivery service is excellent. As you know I have bought from Kogan in the past and their delivery was ok, but if you have a problem their call centre seems to be in India. Others like Catch, are basically a bureau service, where they have a wholesale supply deal for distribution of imported goods, but never actually handle the goods themselves. Some of kogan's stuff is also just sourced from third parties, they simply flip the order over to them and the third party ships to you.
Basically you take your chances.

I know nothing about anyone or anything but you reminded me about getting that three wheeler
I am pretty much over it all as nothing else appears that gets me even mildly interested...Although there is a nice long overcoat but it is big money ..$280 which frankly I wont risk ...AND after a certain delivery for the observatory very soon I wont have any time even to pick up parcels from the Post Office
All this buying is just not me..like I am so tight...I wont buy my favourite tea unless its on special...but funny the complete opposite with astronomy stuff.
AND I dont care how long any of this stuff takes..It becomes a greater surprise when you dont know what or when..I just want it to arrive but given my slack memory I probably wont notice if something does not turn up...like none of it is necessary really..although if the blood pressure watch works that will save me taking my blood pressure twice a day..it becomes a real drag.
Just a bit bored Glen..its because I have come back to the land of the living and whereas a month ago I was happy to lay in bed and sleep now I am wanting to do stuff...My legs have not caught up..so ..I sit around but my mind is racing.
