For those who have bought from HLJ before, on average how long is surface shipping to Australia? Their website says 4-7 months.

Depends... I have had a couple arrive within a month. However MP Nightbird was shipped in early March and I still don't have it.... so it is the luck of the draw

I've used it three times in the last year. First time was around three weeks, second and third were around ten weeks each.

I used HLJ surface mail multiple times throughout last year. Took 3 months pretty much each time. Last one I had was sent out at the end of December and I received it in March. They do give you a tracking number.

Thanks for the replies. I do have a tracking number but there's been radio silence after early March. Guess I'll have to be patient.

From my previous experience, tracking most likely won't be updated until the parcel reaches Australia (so maybe around mid-late June).

I've just checked on a shipment I had coming via surface from HLJ

Dispatched from Japan - March 5
Arrived in Australia - April 27

Might be worth checking in on yours to see if it was the same shipment or similar.
