Sorry some of you are experiencing "exceptional delivery delays", but I have no complaints about Aust Post, and actually never have.
Hope your stuff comes soon.

Leon

Thanks Leon. The overwhelming majority of my experiences have been good. I'm just sweating it because I ordered this scope in plenty of time for planet season, then they forgot to put in the motor controller, and now it's estimated delivery time from between Sydney and Melbourne is around 3 weeks. This is not normal though. Usually it's much better. Meanwhile, jupiter and saturn are well past opposition. Best laid plans, I guess. I wouldn't care so much if it wasn't this particular thing. Ah well. First world problems.

Hello,

Well my delivery from China(sent from Sweden) arrived today, expected delivery was up to mid Oct. Two and a bit weeks later its here (ordered 24/08), was shocked to see it in the letter box.

I was waiting on an eye piece from Brisbane. It got to Brisbane airport last Friday at 21:51.
Then finally processed in Sydney today.
I think my eyepiece went on a trip around the world. Should have bought a camera too, at least I could be armchair travelling when looking at the pictures.

Still unknown as to when I'll get it. Likely next Friday at this rate. This is Express Post as well.

edit: another one of my items from Melbourne was posted 1 September. Expected now between Tuesday and Thursday. That's minimum 2 weeks, but based on the added delays I've been experiencing (up to 4 days after expected dates), it could be 3 weeks.

To err is human.......

To forgive is divine.

I didn't think McGowan had the power to stop anything leaving WA.

Its glaringly obvious from these posts that the main issue with Australian Post is that they are inconsistent. Some have good service some don't...
