Regarding USA (EXPRESS) shipments: Since mine is now over the 4 week estimate provided by AUS Post, I contacted them via chat. They said “it’s frustrating for us to tell customers we basically have no idea when they will get their shipments.” They did mention they have no control over customs, and the slight change in shipping status (from International Departure, to, Cleared and Awaiting International Departure) may reflect a customs delay or process change.
The ‘estimated’ delays are obviously much less for shipping within Australia, and are estimated to be better for Asia and Europe.
I’m not at all posting to complain, particularly with regards to Adam, PitBull, or this forum. I’m just posting my experience as information that might help other customers. IDK how many people here are from the US.
