Thread: USPS to Australia - 5-7 Days or 5-7 Weeks?

If that's the case I'll have to break out the riggers gloves and toss 'em off...the vendors counter and straight into...the sack...containing all the other mail...


OK that's as far as I'm going with this little joke. I'll be a banned user if I'm not too careful, and I don't want that at all.

LOL Thats my laugh for the day! Funny as! LOL

Yeah, probably a good idea to stop this here LOL

Well mail is still crawling through, I received my 5 week old express delivery today.

USPS sure knows how to put a new spin on Express huh Brighty! Glad you got your parcel mate.

Hey, if it took 5 weeks for an express parcel yours may still be on its way! Maybe in time for Christmas (next year)

I'm still waiting on a parcel that was posted on the 5th (20 days ago) and was (allegedly) processed through LA on the 9th. International 'Priority'. Yeah, right. Now I have NO faith in that movie with Tom Hanks in it and the basketball friend named Wilson...

I had a parcel (feather dx) from usps supposedly sent 18/8/2011. Its been 11 working days, and still no sign. Im not exactly sure what service was used as the seller is being very slow to respond since payment was made. (paypal verified seller tho! so im hoping for the best!). going by one of the thread over at whirlpool, i could be waiting for another 2 weeks.

They seem to come through eventually.

The longest times i have waited for mail from the US
Express: Just over 4 weeks
Priority: 6 weeks

The shortest times i have waited for mail from the US
Express: 5 days
Priority: 2 weeks

problem is, ive had bad experiences with auspost, due to the sellers lack of response, i still dont know if it is registered (despite me asking specifically for it!). if it is registered, i wont be so nervous because i would be protected.

at the moment, i have paypal protection, but only for 45 days from the time i sent funds. after that time, if anything happens ill be SOL.

I had a parcel shipped on the 5th of August (International Priority) and I'm still waiting for it. The tracking shows it was sorted at LA on the 9th and then it showed nothing for days. Just this morning the tracking has been updated. Note that apparantly it took from the 9th to the 31st to get to Australia, which I don't believe.
