I send or receive parcels on a daily basis, as a example, on the 15th Aug I sent 2 large parcels off, 1 to Queensland standard post, it took 11 days, then on the same day I sent 1 to Scotland standard post, it took 4 days.

The UK system seems to be a lot faster than our Aus post system, a few years ago I sent some items in the largest box they allow home to Aus from Bath in the UK, the tracking showed it was in Western Australia 2 days after I posted it, but my son didnt receive it until 14 days later

I often order parts from China on a Friday night and have them delivered on the Monday morning with DHL Express, but have had a few go via Mars or somewhere and take up to a week.

I would say Australia post is most of our problem here as it can go through quite quick or it can just sit in a depot for a week before it moves.
