Why is pastage so slow lately?

[hairytimmary]

Has anyone else in Australia noticed exceptionally slow postage times lately? I am seeing 4 and 5 week delivery estimates on nearly all international items and domestically, the times are appalling. I had one item recently sit for 8 days in Chullora NSW after clearing the sort process. Other items from Sydney are taking upto 2 weeks to deliver.

Am I alone in this?

But they must be speeshul. Otherwise why not buy pet food from the local shop?

As I have said a million times before Michelle there are products not fit for the Australian market, they are not registered products here. You also may be putting your animals at risk feeding them these products.

I'm assuming your reply to me is not addressed to me.

On some mobile devices I don't think it's possible to reply to a specific post in a thread  .......... it just defaults a reply to the previous reply.

Sorry Dave I thought that would have been obvious, unless you have changed your name to Michelle

To davewil. I cant buy these products locallly. Thats why I 've been buying them continually for the last 3 years. Just unavailable totally anywhere in Australia (and dont worry I have tried to source this type of food via pet stores here with no luck whatsoever)). Otherwise why would I purchase them on Ebay. And my pets have not taken ill from eating them. They are produced by reputable pet companys not backyard type of rubbish which you seem to be referring to harleybabes.

Two to three weeks delievery to myself in Perth when a year ago it was under a week

international order taking up to six weeks sometime longer when it use to be two

everyone is charging more for postage but it seems to just get slower and slower

i have had problems quite a number of times with parcels being stuck at sunshine west

try telling that to australia post that there is something wrong with that facility  and you just get the run around of maybe parcel is not addressed correctly or that day your parcel was processed they had a huge influx of parcels

mail from the UK for me on average is 3 weeks

Yes I've noticed the same thing I brought so many things from eBay and I have to chase the sellers to get my parcels and get refunds they don't turn up and when they do they were about six weeks after you buy them I'm thinking about not buying from eBay anymore go to Amazon it's a lot quicker a little bit there considering I am eBay plus customer it doesn't do any help of getting my parcels I think eBay needs to get their act together

[sandypebbles]

No need to chase anything. Something does not arrive, you open and follow through with a dispute . Zero chasing required 

You know the estimated delivery date before you buy, so you know if you won't get it until 6 weeks later

eBay is not responsible for the speed of the postal service 

Posting on a thread from 2015  is'nt going to achieve anything
