I shipped some car parts to Aus in dec. I use a shipping depot and can choose the desired method. The receiver was not in a hurry so I used the cheapest which was US postal. It was a small box. I was told 4 - 6 weeks. He got it in a weeks time. I was surprised as I have always thought that stuff going there took forever. I know another fellow in S. Africa and he said the post there is awful. He considers himself lucky if he even gets the stuff.
