Sluggish AU post delivery times
Is it just my imagination or is AU postage times blowing out to the totally ludicrous?
Greg posted me a parcel in Melbourne last Monday, still not arrived at Rockhampton after seven days...
This is not out of the ordinary either, not the first time I have had slow mail from AU post.. It is not like parcels are cheap sending them through the post either..Light red, the colour of choice for the discerning man.

Probably all the people buying stuff online.
I sent a parcel to Melbourne the other day, 150km away, and it took 4 days, usually overnight.

The only time I have noticed is when I sent the blank end arbours to Nev and BT. I sent them on a Wednesday, nev had his on Friday, bit it took till the following Friday for BT to get his. Otherwise all eBay purchases have been delivered in less than a week.

I had a box about the size of a carton of beer posted from Sydney about a month ago and it took about 8 or 9 days from memory.

The casting dvds seem to be traversing the country fairly quickly. Maybe it's the size but probably destination. I rec'd a 8kg parcel ordered 3pm Tues Syd, delivered Thurs pm GC.

Hi Guys, I ordered small package from Brisbane last Monday and in my P.O. box country S.A. last Wednesday morning. I must admit I was very surprised.
