    Mixed result from Ebay, One razor from Kansas took 3 weeks via priority air mail. A second razor from Vermont took 7 days using same method. Other products are still in transit some 8 weeks later and some have never arrived...
    In the end both razors (the important purchases) did arrive!

    Longest anything has taken from the US to NZ has been 2 weeks for me and usually things have been around 10 days. Had one come from Finland in 4 days and a few from the UK came in 5 days.

    I have had gear arrive from the States within a few days, sometimes several weeks. Am currently waiting for a book and some carby parts ordered a couple of weeks ago. Should be here a Gidgegannup any day now.

    Cheers

    Well It took Aussie Post two weeks to get my Grandfathers medals from Queensland to the restoration bloke in Victoria. I reckon they must have decided it was walking distance. .

    I seem to be doing well with delivery times lately.
    In December a package from SRD (Ohio) arrived in 10 days, and today (Tuesday) I received some sanding belts from Queensland that I only ordered on Thursday

    Also with USPS keep a close eye on the tracking. The day my package arrived it had been claimed to have been delivered twice with another attempt that day from the online tracking info but the contractors they used just delivered it to the post office without leaving a note. It might actually arrive on time but they won't tell you to pick it up or from where.

    How has everyone's postage been for you guys as of late?

    I'm waiting on quite a few Jnats form japan and I'm getting a little nervous about the time..
    It's been 6 weeks but it usually only takes a week or two from japan

    I've even received my USPS parcels that I ordered weeks after and still no japan items.

    You are not alone. It works both ways. A friend there sent me a package and my beard grew mightily by the time it got here. I'm waiting on an order from, I think, the only shaving supplier that takes PayPal, to arrive. I've been told it's not our respective postal services but the carriers in between that they contract with to move the goods. Remember you are way out there from a lot of the world and even planes take a bunch of time to get to and from Australia.
