I have parcels arrive quicker from the U.S.A, than ones posted here in Melbourne sometimes, i never rely on Aus Post.
I was sending a guitar i built for a guy to WA who wanted it in a hurry so express it was, it cost $30 with a courier and was there in 2 days, Aus post wouldnt touch it. I sent an express satchel to Perth with 10 packs of strings in it, and it took 5 days.
Well i can finally finish this neck off, its been a labour of love this heel join, but i beat the bloody thing, smooth as a babies.
