AusPost needs to sort their stuff out...
Aus Post has been updating their website regarding the delays. It’s a good idea to check every once in a while. Here is the link for international shipments:

Re: USA shipments: I ordered 5 weeks ago and delays were expected 2-3 weeks. It changed to 2-4 weeks and is now up to 5-7 weeks.
Re: All (International) shipments: They have a note that orders placed between March 25 and April 30 are experiencing additional delays. They also have a note that they’re doing a lot to try to mitigate the delays: they’ve hired more people, are working 24 hours, have re-purposed facilities and hired additional freighters.

FWIW I skeptically viewed an email they sent me stating that due to COVID-19 deliveries had been extended to 7 days a week.
So surprised when my package arrived on Saturday morning.
Don't know if it includes outbound deliveries but you'd think it would at least take some of the bottle-neck out.
cheers, Mark.
I'm not usually one to defend Aus Post, but given the circumstances I've been pretty surprised how well they're actually doing.
I would also advise to take the tracking information somewhat lightly. I was tracking a parcel from Melbourne to Brisbane and the tracking info stated "Shipping information received by Australia Post" for 5 days. No scans showing any movement or progress, then it arrived at my door. I didn't get a "Delivered" notification until two days after it had been delivered.
My guess is that the supply chain is so overwhelmed that the scanning of every single package (as usual) would cut into time of actually moving the package.
That's purely speculation on my part. I don't personally know anyone that works for AP that could confirm or deny.

Still on Track for the 21st.

Hi Adam,
Correct me if I didn't understand. You'll recieve the pending shipment on May 21st?
If so, that is awesomeeee..
Greetings from Portugal
Many thanks for keeping us updated, Adam! I've just realised that's only four days away... (Long time since I ordered in late February :O )Originally Posted by adam
Excitement level just went up
my order still says it's in Perth waiting for departure, and the info now says that it will go by sea with a delay of 40 - 60 days...
Trying to stay positive but i highly doubt it will be here withing 60 days, 30 have passed all ready and it hasn't even left yet
Mine is now in Chicago .... no telling how long until it gets to me, but at least it has crossed the pond ....
