I spoke to Mike S at Bintel yesterday afternoon at around 4:40. My package was just heading out the door. Went to the letterbox this morning at 10:00 and there it is. I'm not normally one to tout the successes of Australia Post after being on the receiving end of some pretty lousy service, but I've gotta put my hands together for this one.
Sydney to Coolabine in around 18 hrs is pretty damn good considering it can take 6 days (average about 4) for a letter to get here from Nambour (30 min drive away). I really wasn't expecting it before next Monday, even sent Express Post. Now I can give first light to the new VC200L
