I have never waited this timeframe for a delivery from within Aust. Even WA, which is understandably longer to NSW, arrives within 7 to 10 days. If I was to sell something and it goes missing, I would certainly refund the seller, rather than make them wait while I sort it out with the responsible party who lost it. Why should the buyer, who has paid good money, have to wait for a resolution, when it is not their fault or problem. I never stated that I required the item urgently, but it is reasonable to  expect an item from QLD to NSW to not take over two weeks delivery time. I must remember, next time I need a good kicking, just share an experience on these boards.

Certainly makes one realize how helpful some members can be.
