1239663 2011-10-25 05:47:00 Normally when ComputerLounge or Ascent courier a parcel to me from Auckland to Invercargill it is delivered to me the day after they send it. These are always on signature deliveries with parcel tracking and I have had no problems with on signature deliveries. I have had problems with no signature required deliveries. I get worried after three days have elapsed. Bobh (5192)
1239664 2011-10-25 05:48:00 Hope it turns up soon for you. I reckon the long weekend + the RWC being on might have slowed its progress somewhat?

Probably.

1239665 2011-10-25 07:05:00 It was sent by ordinary NZ Post. I went to the counter to ask for advice about sending it but the guy grabbed it and asked for the money. I was left standing with my mouth open - but I did get a docket

Goodiesguy - you can have the $250 NZ Post insurance if it goes missing :)

Are people really that rude these days?

1239667 2011-10-25 09:02:00 I find NZ post a bit like Russian Roulette, it usually works out, but sometimes your brain ends up on the wall.

God only knows when it'll get there. I'm still waiting on a package from not-too-far-down-south (from another PressF1 member lol) sent on Thursday. Think the long weekend might've screwed things around a bit.

1239669 2011-10-25 09:27:00 the long weekend would have had a part to play.

1239670 2011-10-25 21:11:00 If it went by Swiss Post -

just the mention of those guys make me shudder .
USPS is a crap shoot as well now. 2 parcels sent same day, one has arrived , 2 weeks later still awaiting the 2nd.
Of course there's the issue my local NZ postie, not putting the card to call in the letterbox (often)
sigh.

1239671 2011-10-25 23:39:00 It can't take as long as my UV EPROM eraser I ordered from eBay - which took a record 6 weeks to arrive from China.

You can laugh at Swiss post all you like, but some ICs I ordered from a guy in Switzerland got here quicker than that!

1239672 2011-10-26 00:11:00 As of right now, still nothing. I'm happy waiting, but i'm getting worried. I just want the stuff to arrive. goodiesguy (15316)
