Lesson learnt and word to the wise for mail forwarding users. Keep the total value under AU$1000 or you will incur import duties on top of GST
Sourced from Australian Border Force and not the TV show, although if I had paid more attention may have saved some $$
I could have split the shipment in 1/2 and saved enough for a very nice SS razor.
- For goods with a value over AUD1000, you will need to fill out an Import Declaration, and pay duties, taxes and charges at the border.
I'll keep that well away from SWMBO and between me and my conscienceOUCH! I hope you were not just a couple of dollars over ...
Maybe they've run out of petrol?This is a LONG time in the air ...

The annoying thing is that due to postage delays over in the US I have another parcel being prepared to ship soon and could easily have kept below AU$1000

These black holes seem to be proliferating. @Holiday posted a brush to me on 20th January, and it's apparently just escaped Darwin's event horizon and started heading this way after I gave AusPost a gentle prod last week.
Now I know why it’s taken you so long, because, you’re package is still on an old plane and still trying to get the engine started
Memories of when I was a kid, all of the planes that used to operate back home needed someone to swing the prop. For some reason I used to think that was such a cool job...Now I know why it’s taken you so long, because, you’re package is still on an old plane and still trying to get the engine started
It's fairly obvious what's happened there: your plane has been abducted by aliens.With the obvious help from @SpeedyPC to get the plane started -
Only a 10 days, 18 hours, 46 minutes flight
Soon I’ll have more stuff flying around the world than I have in regular rotation:
- Barrister & Mann, Zingari, and Ariana Evans aftershaves ( ordered in November, and last tracked in Peru)
- Yaqi High Mountain Silvertip & Yaqi Two Band Aqua brushes
- Maseto Himalaya Silvertip brush
- 1 Oumo Lotus Tip brush (ordered from Aus 15th Jan)
- Karve brass inkwell stand
- Mergress XL razor (used)
- Brass Ager Solution (for my Karve)
- Renaissance Wax
- Tibam New York handle & stand
Hopefully all this stuff will arrive before Easter.
