2 packages arrived today bought 20th August so about 5-6 weeks from Allambie Hts NSW to NE Vic.Common in my opinion for small items to be placed in ridiculously large packages .

3 ebay packages still missing for me.
Checking tracking, a bot claims everything is incorrectly sorted .
That sucks. I grabbed some Gloworms on closeout from MTBDirect last week and they’ve been showing up as ‘ready for processing’ in Melbourne ever since. Strangely I sent something the other way last week and it was there in days.2 packages arrived today bought 20th August so about 5-6 weeks from Allambie Hts NSW to NE Vic.

Sent them the pics they requested and all I got was "Yeah, that's bad, we shouldn't do that". No offer to return the bulky goods surcharge or even the equivalent in store credit.@dirtdad I suspect that you're right, and I'd even partially accept the situation if the rims had been packed in a way that they'd be half protected. But the size of the box and they way they were packed was the main reason they weren't protected and ended up poking out the side in transit. Unsure if it added to tbe bulky package surcharge.
In less than a minute, you could run your knife around the side of that box to make it 75% smaller - maybe even double-wall the box, another 30 seconds and tape it up. for shipping. No more than 4 mins, max.
As it is, I've complained, they've asked for photos and we'll see how it goes from here.
DPD are the fucking bomb in the UK. Very fast, live tracking of the delivery truck when it’s out for delivery so you can go do your thing and know you’re not going to miss it etc. Crazy expensive as an international shipper though from what I’ve seen in the couple of places it’s been offered. Would be interested if they actually did offer it to AUS for only +30% on base DHL.Anyone know anything about DPD?
I didn't go too deeply into the detail of whether it was offered to Aus. Was just looking around on the Starbike website and noticed it was mentioned.DPD are the fucking bomb in the UK.
