I mail-ordered my first pedal, a TC Polytune, from a shop which is about an hour from me ... a 30 minute train ride give or take and a 15 minute walk plus waiting around time.
The pedal took a full 7 days to arrive. Once upon a time it would have been there next day or the day after, max. It appears this is a deliberate policy to discourage people using AusPost and to get them using couriers instead.
I learned my lesson. When I bought my first Epi Bird case, I took the train up and collected it myself.
Well you do know who oversaw the "service reform" at Austpost. Where we pay more for a poorer service but pay not quite so much more for a even poorer service.
