What's the longest you've waited to ship something here from the USA?

MikeVictor · 06-03-2011, 08:18 PM

Good to see it turn up at last, Vin

I expect they're already fitted by now!

I think Vinney's gonna be driving around for two months straight just to make up for lost DCI time.

I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. Your gonna love it Vinney.

Thanks Edwin, I'm loving the sound of the new setup. All the sounds compliment each other very well

Thanks Matt. I took a couple quick snaps and pulled apart my car, installed it and put it back together in under 30 minutes, and this was with barely any light. I was pretty keen to put it on

Hey Matt I'm sending you a text now

S&B filters are much higher quality than anything you can get from Autobarn.

Glad it finally went around the world 10 times and got to your door

Thanks, 10 times... at least! Also, thanks for offering me your intake in the meantime, very generous of you. I'm loving the sound

No worries, happy to offer something to ease your pain!

The sound is quite polarising, some hate it but most love it. It certainly turns heads when you put your foot down.

Here is Vinney's famous thread for all you guys waiting for goods from the US.
I think it's safe to say USPS and Australia Post suck!

BMW86 · 08-08-2011, 07:54 AM

USPS and Australia Post are hopeless. I'm still waiting for a few things to show up but might be waiting a lot longer.

Fedex will just be a-holes when it comes to duties...

AUD is not considered a safe haven during this economic downturn, and investors are betting the RBA to drop interest rates.

Our dollar was artificially inflated because of the much higher interest rate that we 'enjoyed' compared to other countries (0% in the USA). Since we're due for a rate drop, demand for the AUD will be much less, causing it to fall below parity.

MrBlonde · 08-09-2011, 01:36 AM

There's nothing artificial about the AUD - USD rates of recent times. The fundamentals support it. You're witnessing panic. It will pass.

BMW86 · 08-09-2011, 10:20 PM

AUD is starting to pick up again. There has been no movement on any of my shipments coming in with USPS. I'm thinking the delays is caused by Customs and Aus Post and they can't keep up with the demand.

chappy · 08-10-2011, 02:16 AM

Yes its really strange as my professional Bavarian Technic diagnostic equipment was sent on the 3rd of august and arrived on the 8th from USPS cost of $38 and still waiting for my 64bit serial cable for the vishnu procede through USPS sent on the 24th of July.

BMW86 · 08-10-2011, 02:27 AM

This is how I envisage things to work. There is a big room where they keep all the shipments. They start filling up the room with the newest shipments being piled in at the front. So this would mean the newer shipments would go out before they can get to the older stuff. And I think newer stuff keeps coming in so some of those older shipments are beginning to collect dust. Lol I have no idea how this stuff works but I can't understand why some of these older shipments are taking this long!

JB4-335 · 08-11-2011, 10:30 PM

I just received my parcel from Terry today that was posted on the 31st of July. That's under two weeks so not too bad. I feel like I've won the lottery by just receiving my package. Unfortunately this package only contains some meth line that's not even worth $10. It's always the way, the cheap shit you don't care about arrives and the good parcels get caught up and delayed.
