ausmini :: View topic - Parcel delivery from England to Australia

i dont know if UPS operate out of the UK, but 2 days from New York to Alice Springs, then 1 day from the depot to my address.

Amazingly quick considering mail from Adelaide via Australia post can take over a week.

DHL is slow from the UK - took me 10days to get my last package but that was mostly because they handed it off to a 3rd party courier 50% owned by them (Couriers Please)

UPS? well, glad to hear of others' good experiences, not so good if you live in a regional area (Cairns)..

UPS? well, glad to hear of others' good experiences, not so good if you live in a regional area (Cairns). Huge bottle neck in Oz, 2 days from UK to Sydney is great, cleared by brokerage in quick time, no fees to pay. Then the wheels fall off, almost 2 days farting about being re-scanned/re-cleared by brokerage before it gets a flight to Cairns. Local agent has had it since Saturday morning and still not delivered :shock:

UPS was the fastest i've ever had stuff, but not cheap - 2-3 days DHL was pricey, supposed to be signed for and then they just left it on the front porch, still took 7 days Royal Mail - under 2kg is cheaper, takes 7-10 days everytime, over 2kg starts to get pricey as it goes via ParcelForce, same timeframe though Cheapest was sending a big box full of stuff via shipping agent, took 6 weeks by boat!

Go figure! Not cheap though, so get a price first.

Royal Mail has done extremely well for me recently with some smaller stuff. I ordered some carby stuff from Burlen SU on our Thursday afternoon and it was here on our Tuesday morning. Quite amazing I thought. Regards Al

Took them nearly a month to deliver once a driving distance of 30 minutes, another time a driver took an urgent delivery away with him for the weekend because he couldn't be bothered dropping it on a Friday afternoon, it was needed on the Saturday, but come Monday he got his arse roasted.
