Delayed Post

[valkyrie_76]

Wonder if any shipments were on that alp england cargo ship that lost containers.?

Looks like medical supplies from China.

Also got an email from HLJ saying that my parcel which I sent via the cheap method was sent the day after Japan Post put a pause on those parcels has been returned to the HLJ warehouse and they have wonderfully refunded the postage so I can use it when I want to send again. Japan Post had the parcel for almost 8 weeks in storage and been returning them to the senders. Its just nice of HLJ to refund the postage as store credit.

Has anyone gotten any updates recently about shipping from Hong Kong? Has the situation improved at all?

Hong Kong Post's last update was 22 May, still only Surface Mail available to Australia.

Pleasantly surprised to receive MP-45 first thing this morning after it cleared customs last night. My six month journey to get the faulty one replaced is finally done with!

Hmmm, funny how Australia Post is sending air mail to Hong Kong yet Hong Kong Post isn't doing the same to Australia.

Good to hear. (It'll probably transit through Melbourne, Perth, Townsville, Darwin, Launceston before ending up at it's final destination. )

Btw, I don't know many who purchase from tfsource these days.

No it went to sydney...i ordered when there was no pandemic

I also kind of thought the flights would still be flying but with cargo instead of passengers like the old days (prop planes) where they would differentiate between carrying passengers and cargo dependiing on what they could carry.


The time frames to america have gone down

9 June 2020

There are flight disruptions and cancellations impacting all inbound and outbound items to USA.

For items sent today, we expect delivery speeds of:

7-15 business days for Express Services
10-25 business days business days for Standard Services
These estimated delivery times are between metro areas of major cities. They exclude time in customs if applicable and may be subject to delay due to causes outside of Australia Post's control.

For items sent from the end of March to mid-May, additional delays have occurred of up to 5 -7 weeks due to significantly reduced air capacity and high volumes.

Please note: Australia Post will suspend Economy Services for parcels and Economy letters containing merchandise effective 3 April and until further notice. Economy Services for regular letters will continue.

Australia Post is working closely with partner airlines and postal operators to move items as quickly possible.
