It blows my mind that I can order an item from China and have it air mailed to me in three days over the weekend, with no shipping charge.
But a similar sized package from an Australian seller will often take three days for the vendor to send then five days to get to Launceston and cost $15 for shipping.
I understand all the factors at play, but still...

- jacques_chester 7y agoAh yes, Australia Post. I've had items come from Melbourne to Perth -- a dozen connecting flights daily, all with spare freight capacity bought by AusPost for express -- take three fucking weeks for the highest-paid express. I've had parts come from Germany to Perth in 3 days. On the mid-cost freight option. Via Frankfurt and then Singapore. Australia Post is an essential institution and somehow they manage to be entirely useless.
