Before a major photography trip to see Kati-Thanda (Lake Eyre) in flood in August 2011, I ordered a several pieces of new camera gear, all mail order and ordered late on a Sunday night. Three items ordered from China (camera body, lens, IR shutter release system) and one 300mm lens (in stock) ordered from CR Kennedy in Melbourne. One of the China items arrived on Thursday after just four days, the other, a camera body arrived after 9 days, the following Tuesday. Three weeks later and just two days before departure, the lens from Kennedy's arrived.
It happens.
