How long would it take for a parcel from Hamburg Germany take to get here. The parcel was posted on 8th October and tracking says it reached Australia on the 18th October. I have asked seller and he said that they shipped out 2 parcels that day. One to the UK and one here. My tracking number at first said it ended up in UK then was told by seller that last 2 digits on my track number was incorrect so checked and it said 18th October. Its thru Deutsche post. I know that parcels occassionally go missing but its taking a while to get here. Seller has offered refund if I like. And no its not food its a wallet and it was the last one also. Just my luck.

Wallets, pet food..... is there nothing in Australia that you can buy?

 

What dates does ebay suggest as ETA?

 

How about giving it till then plus a couple of extra weeks grace. If it doesn't turn up by then, you can start to ask questions or worry.

 

If you buy from Germany or overseas yes, it will take a while to get here.

 

Why don't you start to browse Catch of the Day & a few sites like that, as well as ebay? I think you'd love it, it has lots of things like bags and wallets come on special from time to time-imported brands as well, it's all in Australia & all arrives fast.

Sometimes you just don't find what you are looking for in Oz.  That was my situation years ago when I was looking for a new wallet. 

I wanted it to be wide enough to take banknotes without folding them,  have two separate zippered compartments, not much in the way of credit card space and a few other requirements including ideally it would be made of leather in black with a red interior.  I found exactly what I was looking for from an eBay seller in England.

It didn't cost much but years later it is still going strong with no tears or dodgy zippers or press studs.  At the time I was so pleased with it, that knowing how fashions can change, later I also bought one in a different colour for when the first one wore out.  I don't think I'll need the 'back up' wallet for another 10 years at least. 😉
