    Default Delays in shipping to Australia?

    Can anyone shed light on this?

    I was in my local HK Post Office today and there were big signs up warning about considerable delays with items being shipped to Australia because of industrial action causing temporary port closures.
    Is this true? Is it Aus Post based or Customs or something else?

    Just curious as obviously this may affect many of you who order internationally and as I do ship to Oz I want to see how potentially delayed the post has become there...

    I haven't heard anything about it though I have noticed a few delays getting things from oversea so could be true.
    (PS. I got Brainstorm just haven't had much time or thoughts lately to mention everything, great packing job, really happy )

    Apparently border force workers are looking at an $8000 p.a. pay cut.
