   @g4dbn par for the course.

   I ordered from the USA into Western Australia. It travelled from Minnesota to Sydney in 24 hours and from Sydney to Perth in 24 days.

     Update: the order eventually arrived SEVEN hours late. That means I missed the last shipping time so the Things might not be with the customer before the Friday deadline. Super service from the supplier in Italy, but it took longer to get here from Leeds than it did to get from Italy to Leeds, including customs clearance. If I'd know this, I wouldn't have paid for the premium service. I have another order on the way from TNT, let's see how THAT goes.

     I paid DHL ludicrous money for an urgent delivery from Italy. It arrived in the UK very rapidly, cleared customs (bargain £11 ransom fee) and was out for delivery by 8am. It was 12 miles away when it was supposed to be delivered at 10 AM. Six hours later and it's now 13 miles away. DHL: "Sorry, we're running late". That makes two of us pal. #dhl
