Anyone having delays with their tunes being delivered?

Ive had 3 packages from Redeye take a fucking ridiculous amount of time to get to me lately... one took 5 weeks, the others just short of 4. James (audio opticon) has had similar issues.

i did a chemical records order at the same time as one of the ones for redeye and it arrived in the normal 7-10 day window though.

the redeye guys reckon theyve had issue with australia post, but that wouldnt make sense if the chemical recs order arrived on time. i know theyve had some strikes with the royal mail...
just thought i'd check if anyone else has noticed delays.

sometimes tunes have been routed through fuck knows where and been checked and rechecked by different customs places.

hasnt happened for a few years now though.

i got mine delivered WITHIN the week last order (redeye)

I got some shirts off the net and they took 4 weeks, even though it said 7- 10 days. I also ordered a cd and vinyl from the UK and a vinyl from melbourne at the same time. The UK one arrived in one week and the melbourne one in two. Reckon its screwed. Also took me two weeks to get a letter sent from in adelaide.

Yeah the postal service has been screwed since Spanks left. I hear there's some serious cases of depression.

Sammie's SAL gear from Vietnam is bordering on 3 months now.

Sometimes ya just get unlucky somehow, but there have been reports of extremely slow Aus Post recently. Like two/three weeks for a interstate letter?!?!

My auntie decided she wanted to write me a letter. It was more like a fucking essay though. Like 5 pages long. I probably should read it soon.

if you;ve been waiting on shit from the uk, we've been rife with postal strike after postal strike in the last few months, so that could be it. They're averaging 2 or 3 days a week on strike lately, so i guess that might expain some things lie record orders. It's even different in different parts of the country. Down here in the south west where we are its not too bad, but up north its shocking

buzz recently ordered something from the USA. When he tracked the parcel it went from the US to Canada, then back to the US, and then to Australia  crazy

Australia post are as useless as tits on a bull though...

Had two parcels go missing in the last 4 weeks, both which had tracking numbers that were never entered into the system.

Who knew that Spanky's departure could have such an impact?? teef
