I purchased my Emisar D1S from Neal. Once it had been shipped out (about two weeks after ordering it), it took only 7 days to get from China to me in Ontario, Canada using ePacket. I was amazed.
thats only because your in Sydney, 50% ish of my items come from chine inside a week after a few days processing, then spend 1-2 weeks in sydney depot, then 2 weeks crossing the country (a 30hr drive).
usually arriving at my local depot for a few days, just long enough to reach the weekend, then delivered mid next week.
for example, still undelivered. ordered 27th

Best ive had was from Lumintop tool from Gearbest, arrived in 7days, but was sent from an australian source.
Best international shipping I’ve seen was about 10 yrs ago. 4 days for a maw sitsit cab from Bangkok to Ohio. It actually made it in 2 days but fedex tried delivering to an address across the street. Fortunately I was watching the tracking info and called about it when I saw ‘unable to deliver’ and arranged for a re-try at the correct address. Less than $1/ct shipped for a 16.7 ct maw sitsit… I had it set in a ring cast by a local company that sold settings made by disabled veterans. It’s one of my most precious posessions.
