Originally posted by calculator01 It took my one and only package to Adelaide 3 months. It then took my friends package from Adelaide here 1.5 months. Even letters take a few weeks.
Might not be normal, but that is my experience. I am also not in Alaska
Canada to Australia is slow. I also know from experience, buying an M series lens from someone way up north in the Canadian Rockies. The seller made enquiries and found that Canada Post wait until a container is full before posted items gets on their way to Oz. There's obviously not a lot of packages being sent between Canada and Australia, so the wait can be long (I think it was nearly two months to Adelaide for the M lens).
The package volume between USA/Australia is far higher and the postage time is quite reasonable.
