has some good things to say
3.6 euros per kg or part thereof additional shipping fee fee...plus extra currency conversion fees? Shopping locally is starting to make sense...

Wouldn't be too bad it it was a few massively discounted lightweight items but then they send it in a 5kg box

Airfreight out of Germany seems highly reliant on unused cargo space on passenger flights. With almost no passenger flights there's very little air freight capacity. I had a letter arrive today from Germany that was posted on 31 March. UPS are running some of their commercial cargo planes out of Germany but the freight price is close to double what it was. Pretty hopeless situation getting stuff out of the world's second largest exporter.
interesting fact, would not have guessed.

Airfreight everywhere is a disaster.
With all the a380’s are grounded, nothing big can be flown either.
The world will in time return to sea freight if flights don’t resume. USPS sent via sea all the European air freight that couldn’t find a flight, starting in April. It’s probably going to happen more. USPS has suspended all economy air mail services.
The irony, that while posting this I’ve lost a 40ft container somewhere between Canada and melbourne stings a little.

Haven’t looked but can you guys get free post from Germany to the UK and then use a freight forwarder? I’ve had a few things come from the UK in the last few months of COVID no worries, and nothing longer than a week with DHL. Obviously you won’t get the VAT discount if you do it that way, so depends on how cheap what you’re buying is.

Sure is getting complicated. Or you know they could actually supply parts here instead of geoblocking.

Crazy talk.

Definitely should have gone to specsavers
Does make you wonder though... if Aus LBS / distro's can't get stock due to transport issues, maybe the two 'S's should stop geoblocking for a year or so and allow people to buy their stuff from wherever they can get it from. More revenue for them, and local suppliers don't miss out because they can't get the stuff to sell it to us anyway (that's probably an ill-informed generalisation).

203mm IceTech rotor + PM adapter, came looking as genuinely wrapped and new as anything i've bought locally. Was a good 4-5 weeks for it to arrive though.

I've used them a few times, and they've been OK but it's been taking forever to get stuff here from China lately.
