Folks, I have bought three orders from Fastech, the last being the Avocado 24 if you use their free postage then alas it takes a month of Sundays to get to me and I have had two parcels lost in transit. They arrived ok into Au but then AU post f....d up some how. I now use their EMS international express postage and get my orders in less than 10 days. Indeed EMS is slightly more expensive for a single item, I wait till I need a few goodies, like with my last order I got the tank, some excellent Glass Bottles with pippette drippers and a lot of various coils I needed and no problems. I also deal with another company in China called HiLiq and there I do the same and their stuff comes to me by DHL. The only issue I have with any parcel delivery from O/S is damned Au Post. For instance, EMS is international Express Post...correct...When the damn parcel arrives in Au and is cleared by customs the blasted AU post on forwards it by ROAD FREIGHT....Excuse me? I paid for express Air Freight. Its now the overseas senders fault. Be it Fastech or any one else you wish to deal with. If the parcel has to come to you by post then you can rest assured that the stuff up will be our end., i.e. Australia Bloody Post. I have had this debate with them and now whenever I contact an overseas supplier I ask two questions.
(1) Do you accept PayPal
(2) How much for DHL shipping
Dhl deliver to my door from China by their own couriers in less than a week and no screw ups with Au Post.
Regards Acer.
