from my experience I-Parcel only uses offpeak shipping, so your package may stay in the warehouse for over a week before it's even moved.

I placed my order 04/05/12, cleared Customs 08/05/12, arrived in Australia 11/05/12 (Friday), delivered today.

I can't believe I got it delivered from the U.S for $8! Can't wait for my next service in 3,000kms, my engine is so rough and noisey atm.

I ended up ordering 3 boxes, 1 in one order and 2 in another.

1 box shipped via i-parcel, the 2 box order shipped via UPS. Below is the tracking history if anyone is interested.

fair enough.... im in no rush, but i would like to get my things faster. having said that $8 to ship is very cheap no matter how you put it.

using iparcel? that is very fast!!

[Nuggety Nugget]

Yeah that was with i-parcel, but from peetah's post UPS is bloody fast as. How much did you pay for UPS delivery Peetah?

[peetah]

Same price... didn't change anything. Seems 2 boxes are too much for Iparcel. Mate also ordered 2 and ups as well.

[EuroGraphite]

My first shipment was via Fedex, and that took 4 days in total. Didn't cost any extra.

My 2nd shipment was through i-parcel. Unfortunately, it was stuck in customs for 2wks, at which point I asked Amazon to resend it. I also requested that they send it through Fedex/usps/etc but they couldn't manually select it (??). In any case, will see if this occasion is any better.

interesting if i buy 24 bottles, shipping is close to $80

Still approx $8 shipping per 12 bottles... I think you may have selected a different 'seller'. Needs to be via "Amazon Exports Inc". Did you use the link in my first post?

[sensei_]

definitely the correct link as per the OP, i even cleared out my cart and made sure i didnt get it wrong.

if i use standard shipping its $8.83/12 bottles. choose express and that figure goes up $37.46

[EuroGraphite]

ah ok. The $8 is for standard shipping which could mean any one of dhl/fedex/ups/iparcel. However, it would seem the iparcel version of standard shipping is much worse than the others.
