Insane Delivery Time

Hi Guys just wanted to share this in regard to a delivery from Center Com.

Last week Wednesday morning at 6.00am I ordered a new Monitor from Center Com and at 11.00am the next day it was plugged in on my desk.
just over 30 hours

That was just the fastest delivery of any item I have ever had

Leon

Amazing - saw the title of the thread, and given the way shipping is right now, expected it to go the other way... 😅

That's an impressive delivery time, for sure.


So riddle me this, Batman. Why does it take AusPost 2 weeks to get a parcel from Sydney to Melbourne, but I can order something from China and have it here in half that time?

I bought a gaming computer for my son last year from Centre.Com, and they were very prompt then as well. I think it was 2 days from order to delivery in Brisbane.

I’ve been having a good strea with ordering parts for my Mini.
Ordered a few repair panels at 3pm on Tuesday this week, they are onboard for delivery today.

That’s from Adelaide to country NSW!

StarTrack rules.

In April this year I ordered a 102 ED refractor from a shop in Devon UK (FLO) on a Friday. I was opening the box and enjoying my new telescope on the following Wednesday here in Perth Australia.
