Outbound Express Post: Lodged 11/4, delivered UK 29/4
![]() (Glad I didn’t pay for the Standard service!) DHL Express UK-Oz: Posted 5/5, delivered 10/5 DHL Express Argentina-Oz: Posted 20/4, delivered 1/5 (Seemed to be some loss of plot in the US hubs; it sat quite a bit and moved between unusual points for a number of days.) |

I send or receive parcels on a daily basis, as a example, on the 15th Aug I sent 2 large parcels off, 1 to Queensland standard post, it took 11 days, then on the same day I sent 1 to Scotland standard post, it took 4 days.
The UK system seems to be a lot faster than our Aus post system, a few years ago I sent some items in the largest box they allow home to Aus from Bath in the UK, the tracking showed it was in Western Australia 2 days after I posted it, but my son didnt receive it until 14 days later I often order parts from China on a Friday night and have them delivered on the Monday morning with DHL Express, but have had a few go via Mars or somewhere and take up to a week. I would say Australia post is most of our problem here as it can go through quite quick or it can just sit in a depot for a week before it moves. |

International parcel post ex-EU/UK seems to have lifted its game the last month or so.
UK: Postmarked 30th December, received 11th January EU: Postmarked 3rd January, received 16th January (Riga, which has typically been a “slow” source in my experience. Plus another from same city, different vendor, one day later in posting but same date delivery.) |

Deutsche Post “Paket” - twelve calendar days in transit.
Air mail from Frankfurt consolidation seems to arrive in Melbourne and then get distributed around Australia. |

Are there impacts on LCL sea freight ex-Europe to east coast Australia as a result of the Yemen skirmishes?
Considering some crated used/new parts out of Europe, no way a FCL. |

There's been commercial ships hit with anti-ship ballistic missiles and drone attacks, while the US/UK have been staging attacks on Yemen, you'd have to have rocks in your head if you were a sea freight operator and decide to transit right through a war zone where one side is specifically targeting you ![]() |

Oz Post seem to have dropped the ball lately, a small Deutsche Post packet left Germany on Sunday 23rd to Australia via HK and is still not delivered. German tracking for even the most basic letters, seems excellent.
