Give them a call before leaving for school then. I have found them most helpful. Mike at their Sydney store knows his stuff.

Marki said to expect 6 days registered post from Perth to Sydney. Maybe York didn't allow enough for transport to WA.

Everything I've ordered from them did show up. It was a bit annoying when they didn't say up front that some things like my C8 solar filter would have to come from the US and they held the whole order until they had everything.

Give them a call in the morning before school or on Saturday. far better to sort it out in person than guessing about emails and websites.

I have ordered from them and yes it did take a bit longer but not much longer though. 4 - 5 is usually working days although not leaving site would be concerning.

That's good, Nicholas.

Having had a similar experience with an O/S supplier that got fairly well out of shape, there is lots of value in the old phone!

Chasing suppliers is a regular part of my job. I've just got off the phone to one. For problems phones are better then email, and always get the name and contact details of the person you spoke to.
