Bro, you do not know the pain of having to pay $70 and waiting two months for something to be imported that Australians have

Yeah, for sure, but that’s not what this is about. At least Australia is actually far away. Phoenix to Vancouver is like just over half the distance from Sydney to Perth and this package went about three times as far to get there.

Also I think it’s not quite as bad anymore these days, at least in NZ we usually get stuff in a week or two now and although it’s still expensive the costs have come down a bit too.

Having relatives in Perth, I know their recent black Friday purchases from Sydney may not arrive in time for Christmas

I was looking at importing some movie posters and half the cost is import, with them not being able to arrive before Christmas

Oh, yeah. I think a sudden change to the Australian shipping problems would literally be the thing that make Americans finally riot.

I work in a natural fibres shop, and if you can get same day delivery, I guarantee you that you’re not getting a good product
